An example of how to make the best
of the conditions, of how to administer
an exquisite rebuke to the weather gods
without getting peevish, has been set
the city's entire population by two black
bears in the geological gardens at
Bronx Park. Originally from Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia, they have
chosen to ACCEPT the continual downpour
for the rainy season ushering in their
period of Information, and have been
asleep for three days.
Not even their rations have tempted
them into full consciousness. They have
poked their noses out of their caves to
take q squint at the sky two or three
times since Thursday and then dozed off
again with little grunts which the nat
ure takers in the Park Department have
interpreted to mean:
I'VE don't care whether Hamilton
flies or not. So. there!'

All Coney Island went to bed Satur-
day night hopeful of the morrow, and
awoke with excavations. The whole day
was like nightmare to the inhabitants
of Dreamland The umbrella pedlers
again had field day, and the diving
Venuses wore raincoats both inside and
outside the tank. In Luna Park, named
after the moon. it seemed as if that
luminary had drawn the tides right up
over the island. which was considered
pretty poor etiquette after such a COM
pliment. The proporietors We're wishing
they had named the place after the sun,
but then they reflected that in that case
it might have been a solar plexus blow,
whatever that means in the language of
weather.
The Dreamland Band, being under
cover Chat is, from the RAIN, gave con-
tinuous concerts. Among the selections
played were Put on Your Old Gray
Raincot," Little Drops of Water The
Sun Shines Bright in Dixie" wait Till
the Sun Shines, Nellie" (by request,
wait Till the Clouds Roll By (by de-
mand), Take Your Girl to Coney on i
Sunday Afternoon" and the Dead
March" from Saul
Among the notable visitors of the day
were two newspaper men of Rome,
n. Y, who came down on excursion
tickets.
The captains of the steamboats, re-
ported that it was raining in New York.
Big Cave-in at Bellevue. -
They had cave-in up near Bellevue.
Two brick retaining walls that had been
erected to prevent a collapse of the
earth surrounding the excavation under

by the rain. Several girders
and strips of planking that had bridged
them fell into the debris at the bottom
In the street in front of the building
q long, deep assure suddenly appeared
and the police and watchmen opined that
if the rain didn't take day off soon the
stationary engines and supplies stored |
there would be swallowed up. The steel |
frame of the new building is all of it |
that is standing so far. supported by
concrete foundations. There is thought |
to be no danger of its collapse.
The beavers up in Bronx Park are |
sore. Their dam in Beaver Pond was |
carried away by the high water, and |
they are too nervous to sleep it off like |
the bears. The Bronx River is angry, |
too A foaming flood is laundering over |
the waterfall at the lower end of Lake
Agassiz.
Rain leaking through the roof of |
freight car standing on switch in the |
railroad yards at Twelfth avenue and |
e5th street soaked load of lime in the
car and caused it to take fire.
Employees in the yard sent in fire
alarm In the mean time the train was
broken and the burning car taken from
the switch A freight engine drew it to
a point about two blocks north, where it
was found that an engine which had re-
sponded to the alarm could not be driven
across the tracks. The burning car was
then run south to 59th street and an
other engine called. The fire was put
out with damage of about $1,000 No |
other cars were damaged.
