breeze that was going, the mercury
had climbed TO the ninety-six point.
Humanity and horse flesh suffered
alike this morning in the oliver dis
trict of the city, which is conceded
to be the hottest on a hot day, and
drivers of teams used the utmost care
in order not to over drive their horses.
In the shops men suffered possibly the
