This was of no long duration and the rest Of the day was clear until between 6-26 and ' p. m. when there was slight shower, fol- lowed between 7.30 and 8 by a soaking rain. Up to II o'clock it rained at intervals in diminishing volume.
 The thunder shower and rain of the early morning tempered the heat, for the rest of the day and the thernome- ter did not reach the 90 mark.

 ing sun waiting for a chance at path house and the water was crowd ed with bathers.
 There was also heavy travel to the beaches on Sunday. The steamer Nelseco II which started it's summer
 excursion season Sunday to Ocean
 beach carried about 125 passengers on its trip from here at 10.30 in the morning and had about 175 on board when it~returned at 6.30-
 Mohegan park furnished refuge for some though not so many as if they could have reached there by auto ser vice instead of dusty walk as was the case on Saturday. On Sunday the threatening weather kept the park rom having large crowd. Park Su-, perintendent Edward Smith is trying to induce some of the auto bus men to run a service to the Park on Sum days and on Saturday afternoons. The refreshment stand is in operation at the lake and the manager of that is also trying to run jitney line to the park: There is to be a band concert at the park. Superintendent Smith says, two weeks from Sunday.
 Evidences that the summer season is on in earnest were to be seen Sun day in the number of automobiles that passed through the city carrying fam lilies with parts of their baggage or summer season equipment for cottage life piled into the seats Or strapped onto the running boards. Trunks, hammocks. baby carriages, bicycles, and various other kinds of summer impedimenta were noticed that could be more readily carried that way than consigned to the uncertainty of rail- road travel and hard hearted baggage smashers.

Walter J.

That he is a cheerful loser was demonstrated the other day. when he said to a stranger passing the stable with a halter in his hand:-
 How would you like to have a horse to go with your halter?" and thereupon gave away, the royalty bred three-year-old colt Uirus, by the great Sardanapie, for which he had paid s5,000 as a yeriing.
