 "Wednesday was, the third hot dav in the series that make up the hottest ssason ever known to Westerly While the thermometer at no time registered bove 99, as against 102 the day be- fore. the heat was so oppressive that all the manufacturing establishments ir the town suspended operations at oon. The heated term created such an unusual demand for ice cream and fountain drinks that there was marked scarcity of milk and cream throughout .he state Wednesday. In consequence there was not enough ice cream in Westerly to supply the demand, a con ditfon which has not existed before within the memory of any living man.
 With only the unfortunate and com paratiVeiy few at work, by reason of the oppressive heat, there was a grand rush to Watch Hill and Pleasant View Wednesday. and there were many nickels collected on the trolley cars to be laid aside to meet the expenses of cost and maintenance when cars are run at a loss to these same places when winter comes. Tn the afternoon the large open cars were run in threes and every car was filled to over regu- lar capacity. The passenger list was so large that many walked under the almost burning rays of the sun to the terminal at the railway station in the rope of avoiding the rush and securing seats before the cars reached Dixon square, where the oVerloa ding act was rendered to the extreme limit. AL though the traffic was unusually large, the many cars were operated upon practically schedule time.
