NO JUNE 8 so RARE OR RAW AS
THIS ONE.
FoRTY-FIvE YEARS RECORDS OF WEATHER
BUREAU Broken. MERCURY AT As. 5.

To-day is the coolest June 3 in the forty
1--WE years history of the Weather Bureau.
There is little hope for warm weather unless
the strong East wind which has been blow
inc for a day and a half abates with clearing
weather. The minimum temperature to-day,
a. 800 a. M, was 46. 5 degrees-13 degrees
below the former record.
A high wind, which is q sort OF outrider
10 a gale that is now conferred off the Carroll
mas and is doing great damage along the
coast, brought in the Geld wave. There is
u faint prospect, the Weather Bureau says,
that he wind will die down. But it is very
faint, and although clearing weather IS pre-
dicted for tomorrow, the wind is very likely
to continue.
The east wind is not noticed in the city as
much as it is along the coast, bat the Wea-
ther Bureau ordered all storm warnings
kept out to-day and sent word to shipping
stations that the best thing small boats
could do would be to stick close to the har-
bour. To-day, off Sandy Hook, there is en-
easterIy gale averaging sixty miles an hour.
Several small craft which were caught in
it yesterday afternoon and last night expert
euced considerable difficulty in getting to
port.
The weather station at Long Branch, \.
j., reported that the highest wind velocity
the resort has ever experienced WAS last
night. The east wind tore along the shore
st a rate of seventy-three miles az hour and
drove all small craft and several larger
steamships to shelter. One small vessel,
whose size has not reported, went ashore a
few miles so the north of Long Beach, and
the lfesavers had consid cradle difficulty
in getting to her. She was the Zanth, a
two-master, but very little further indentif-
cation could be had.
The gale along the New York coast is
holding, according to the Weather Bureau
and along Long Island and off Sandy Hook
it is very bad. While the velocity here is
not q record. the wind is blowing so hard
that it endaDgers shipping, and the Wealth
Ell Bureau is sending out i~nsistent warnings
to all weather and life saving stations from
Atlantic City to Montauk.
June's cold wave followed sharply on the
heels of Mays wet weather. There were

tations imposed upon the sources

She further expresses the conNl"-
