Showers and unsettled weather are
promised by the Weather Bureau for
the metropolitan district to-day. where
yesterday ten persons lost their lives
in the heat wave, and many wero over?
come. The highest mark reached by
the mercury yesterday was 84, but the ,
humidity was more noticeable than in
ar.y of the preceding hot days, espe?
cially in the morning. At 8 o'clock the
percentage was 91.
A slightly cooling breeze and show- i
ers brought some relief to the city late I
yesterday afternoon. This, according
to the Weather Bureau, is the fore?
runner of a spell of cooler days, for
variable winds are predicted, and there
is a promise that by to-night or to?
morrow at the latest the heat wave
will have left New York.
The showers of the afternoon and
evening did much toward alleviating
the suffering on the Hast Side, where
-everal prostrations were recorded.
For a Monday, the crowds that
flocked to the seashore resorts took
on an appearance of holiday propor?
tions. All the New Yorkers who had
the opportunity of visiting the beaches
made the most of it. large numbers
i'hooaing Brighton and Coney Island.
But the other resorts were not neglect?
ed, and at most of them the beaches
were filled with bathers.
Little Girl Bather Lost.
At Long Branch Mrs. Charles Dil
lione and her seven-year-old daughter,

Tier. Her Dody was found in twenty
inches of water.
