THE SUMMER OF 1911

Throughout the greater part of the United States and Europe the exces- sive heat of the past summer will be long remembered, new maximum tenn peratures having been observed in many widely separated places. Un- precedented temperatures of 9S de- grees and go degrees Fahrenheit were observed at Blue Hill observatory (635 feet above sea leveD on six days during the early part Of July, while the mean temperature for the month. 14.J degrees Fahrenheit. was the highest experienced in the vicinity in sixty three years. which is the length or the record. At the Royal observ- atory, Greenwich. new records have also been established. There the mean temperature for the six months, April to September. inclusive. was CO., degrees Fahrenheit, the highest since 1S41. The mean for the three months, June. July and August, was 66.1 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 4.9 degrees in excess of the average for the past seventy years. and 10 degree higher than any previous sum-

 For three months the work of re- modelling has gone hurriedly forward and the office has been temporarily rushed back into a little box in the rear of the old lobby; and though the handicap has been great. the hotel held all of its old patrons and gained a lot more besides. The patrons claim there is a certain cheerful con Geniality at the Commercial that they seemed not to find elsewhere, and were reconciled to the present cramp- cd conditions in anticipation of the Improvements that were soon to come. And now while the big lobby will be thrown open for business. there still remains much vet to be done before all will be completed

 The new lobby occupies the South- west corner of the hotel, and on the two fronts is composed entirely of glass. extending from the ceiling fourteen feet, to within six inches of the floor. supplemented by a marble base. The base is vet to be installed as also are the marble pillars. and some of the light fixtures. Not all or the furniture has vet arrived. in cluding the individual writing desks but the place has taken on mighty cheerful appearance. and there are Tlenty of easy chairs.
