Every one who went to the island went
there with the notion OF dip In the
surf. The bathhouse people were quick
IN turn this determination into cash
Their prices scared, until they rivalled

they were asking and getting 80 to ~

still the long lines of waitees before the
bathing houses increased and multiplied
A stranger strolling along the beaches
would hardly know that there was any
ocean in the neighborhood Of the island,
so thickly was the water packed WIN
hathers that there was hardly any water
to be seen.
Manhattan Beach was also crowded,
the numbers there also breaking all
previous records for the year. The same
can he said of all the surrounding bath
ing resorts.
Good Nature Prevails.
There was one thing about the CROWDS
that focked out of the city. They were
all good natured. Everything was siz-
cling except tempers. The people we're
out for a good time. as we'll as on
search for a place where the sun wouid

their two quests in jolly humors. Occa-

car conductor or. elevated guard would
go loco" but such displays OF Ill nature
brought down good natured losh'ns
more than anything else.
There was surprisingly little rowdyism
on the cars. AS usual. several instances
Of that kind were reported, but, cohsid-

The police were in force at Coney
Island to keep watchful eye on the
various kinds of bathing costumes worn

were Edward Frast Of No. $40 PARK
avenue, Brooklyn, and Bertha Rice, an
eighteen year-old girl. Patrick Camp

arrested on the charge Of disorderly
conduct.
A woman dressed In a combination
pantaloon and harem skirt OUTFIT created
a large sized sensation when she got on
train at the West End Depot, Coney
Island. A whooping. jeering. laughing
crowd quickly made her the centre Of
it's attentions, and two men. her escorts,
lost no time in rushing her to the Sea
Beach Palace. There they INDUCED in
terpsichorean pleasures until another
large and enthusiastic crowd gathered.
The arm of the law In the shape of a
red faced patrolman made itself felt with
the terse order, Beat it, The actors

when a policeman says beat it," there
is generally nothing much left to do but

Those who found IL impossible to leave
the city thronged the parks, and every
soda water fountain and lemonade stand
in the city did a rushing business. II is
impossible to estimate the number OF
gallons of ice cream sold but they must
have reached into the tens of thousands.

List Of Deaths Increases.
The list of deaths from heat was still
increasing at an early hour this morning.
and the hospitals reported several cases
which would in all proba bility terminate
fatally before many hours passed
Albert Sandquist. forty-eight years
old. had complained bitterly of the in
tense heat for the last two or three days.
About noon yesterday while his wife
was preparing dinner he kissed her and
told her that he would go into the par
lor and try 20 get short nap. He
seemed to be suffering greatly at the
time, and perspiration was streaming
from him. A quarter Of an hour later
she went TO call him 10 dinner. She
found him hanging by the neck from
hook in the door He had made a run
ming moose out OF his belt and attached
" to the hook. Mr. Sandquist left. be-
sides his wife, three children. His was
the only suicide reported during the day.
II was a somewhat peculiar coinci-
dencc that the given name Of four OF
the five women who died from the heat
was Mary.
Two deaths and dozen prostrations
were reported from Newark. The vie
tins Of the heat there were both chill
dren. One OF them. Mary Doworvaino,
died In the early hours Of the morning.
The mother fixed the chld's bed as close
as possible to a window. When she
awoke In the morning she went to the
crib to see II the little one was awake.
Sc found it sleeping its last sleep.
What at first was supposed 10 be a
case Of suicide proved another addition
10 the list Of heat victims. Tenants in

found gas burning In tho halls late last
night. AS Mrs. Anna Whalen. the jani-
