 The carnival held last night at Crystal lake by the Tuxedo club of Rockville was a success in spite of the hot weather. A large crowd attend. ed the dance and all of the different amusement places around the park were kept busy. Souvenirs were given out to all people who entered the dance hall. The people were all orderly and everyone called it a fine time.
 Everyone thought that the weather last week was the limit, but if they had foreseen what was coming this week they would have waited before complaining. Sunday was a good day, with the sky slightly olouded, but Monday morning the thermometer started to climb and before noon every ohe thought that it had fair chance to ascend to the clouds above. Between and 5 o'clock all of the mills in the borough were obliged to close on account of the heat. The evening of Monday offered no relief, as there was hardly a breath of air stirring and what breeze there was blew in hot from the southwest. Tuesday mOrn- ing started in with terrific heat, and before noon the thermometers standing in the sun mounted up past the hun. dred mark. After dinner all of the mills closed again and there was a general exodus of tOWnspeople to Crystal lake. All of the cars leaving Tuesday afternoon were loaded to their fullest capacity. The beaches at the lake were lined with bathers up to 8 o'clock in the evening. About 9 o'clock Tuesday night there came a
 
 shape of a slight breeze from the north, and many had hopes that a let-up in the heat had come. Wednes- day morning, however, started in to beat the other days, and in spite of a breeze which continued throughout the whole day, the thermometer egistered higher than on any of the preceding days. The mills were. forced to close again at noon and the people again sought relief in the clear, cool waters of Crystal lake. This is the hottest weather on record for this summer and the papers predict let up inside of twenty -four hours. Many people working in the mills and fields have tainted and a few have had cases of heat prostration. This weather has also had it's effect on the gardens in this locality The ground is dry for nearly a foot down, and the small lot gardeners find that in these days a garden hose is necessary to keep the plants in good condition. It is lucky that the hay of the larger farmers was fully grown and ready to cut, or it would have been dried up and spoiled in the heat.
