Abstract
THE heaviest shower on record fell yesterday afternoon between 6 and 7 p.m. It began at 6.36, and almost six-tenths of an inch fell in the first quarter of an hour. The wind was shifting rapidly at the time from north through west to south. The water collected was very dark, but not so black as that which fell on April 26, 1884.
