THREE RARE JUNE DAYS BREAK HEAT RECORDS

With the mercury soaring in the tube at 91 at o'clock this afternoon and the intense humidity bearing down up- on the residents of this city, the heat was almost unbearable. An occasional light breeze was the only feature III which the weather was improved over that of yesterday when the thermome- ter registered S6 at o'clock.
 The humidity, which makes everyone complain of the heat, was almost un- bearable in the sun at noontime, ana fewer hot days have been more com plained of here than the last three. The heat held on during the night ana at o'clock this morning, when the workingmen were commencing work in the factories, the thermometer reg istered at 70 and gradually increased until it reached 91 at 2 o'clock.
 But everyone seems. to stand the weather fairly well as the heat pros tration of Owen Bowen, who fell in Wall street yesterday was the only case reported at any of the hospitals or to the police up to o'clock today. Bowen, who is at St. Vincent's hos t>ital, was much improved in his condi- tiOn today.
