It was a blessed thing for many people that the day was a half holiday, for to watch the jaded crowd which thronged Into the business section in the early morning it looked as though It would be the height of cruelly to confine them to desks an counters lor the whole day. Soon alter noon a rush was made to the depots and feryies, and the afternoon trains bore away immense crowds to the seashore resorts.

Every means of transportation to the Park. was eagerly grasped by the sweltering people, and the steamboat landings have not been so crowded beiore during this season. Chestnut street during the. afternoon wss almost deserted and those who were there plainly showed that nothing but necessity brought tbeui there. The afternoou sun shone on the city's chief throuKhlare as though It would threaten the lives of all who would venture in Its rays.

It was a day of torment and desperation, whan the average mortal seemed to care for nothing but a darkened room with an absence of superfluous garments and a plenitude of fans and Iced drinks. In the crewded section of the city, where scarcely a breathing exists, the adult population was in dire distress, but the little children suffered still more. At nightfall in' that section chiefly populated by foreigners whole; families were to be seen stretched at lull length on cellar deors, seeking that repose which was impossible in the suffocating" rooms of the tenements.
