Summers Last Record.

Equinoctially speaking, yesterday was
the last day Of summer and although the
Intelligence that It was summer VIII GER
taiuIy not be news to many persons.
there-is some consolation in the fact that
from now on. according 10 the schedule
mapped out by scientists. the true fall
( begins.
The Weather Bureau agrees with
science I'm this instance at least, for that
much maIigned institution promises that
with the rise of to-day's sun the crisp
fail brcezes will begin and remain until
winters stern reality confronts the city.
/ The change may be accompanied by show
ers, but AT all events real autumn weather
/ is coming.
The last day Of summer was one Of the
very hottest Coming. as it did, after a
fairly cool spell, its fire was all the more
felt. and when a slight breeze stirred the
trees yesterday afternoon a chorus OF
gratifcd "a-ahs'' filed the air.
Mercury Close to %.
Down IN Mr.. Afeck's apothecary shop
the busy mercury climbed almost TO nine
Z T.
at it went away much hotter. The Their
l10meter Of the Weather Bureau with
its customary conservatism. showed little
better than ninety at the hottest part Of
the day, but of course. the cool breezes
and the shade have lots 20 do with the
/ difference between uptown and down.
( To those who were working on the
/ tracks IN the middle of Pennsylvania ave-
/ nue. the thermometer was about an even
/ 100. for they had the fun benefit Of the
purest sunshine, mingled with the gentle
refractiug rays from the creamy, mushy
concrete and the usual amount of hu-
midity. The Iaborers said that yesterday
was the worst day OF the summer 10

Straw Hat Wearers smiled.
Those who cIung to straw hats We're
practically the only happy people yester-
day. They were not SO happy as they
might have been. but they had 70 smile
whenever a precursor Of winter came
along with a new black derby or q hold

headgear was usually carried In the hand.
while handkerchief or f0rednger periodi-
/ cally adorned the brow. Then. too, they
/ were happy at the thought that the new

and green, and those still unpurchased
would be nice and black and glossy. On
/ the whole, il was a comforting day for
/ the knights of the straw hat, and a
/ glimpse of the torture chamber 20 those
who are bound 70 keep in fashions frst

/ Also, it was q nice day for peek-a-boo
