The wind attained a velocity of 60 miles an hour. This record was eclipsed but once before-, the wind blowing at a rate of 63 miles an hour' in 1888, according to the records at the local weather bureau. A rainfall of 2.35 inches was recorded and re ports from outlying sections were to the effect that the water was unusual ly high and that material damage would be done bridges and smaller trestles. The county roads were bad ly washed and streets in several sec tions of the city, particularly where there were inclines, suffered from the effects of the rain that literally fell in sheets and was whipped back and forth and churned into spray by the high winds raging that this year's Chautauqua pro gram is thoroughly up to the minute and that every number of the pro gram, which is of a very varied na ture, is being received wonderfully well in the larger cities of the South, is borne out by the following criti cism appearing in the Jacksonville, Fla., Times-Union: The fourth season of the Jackson ville Redpath Seven-day Chautauqua opened not only auspiciously yester day but evidenced that Jacksonville wants the Chautauqua here every year, afternoon program being heard by a large-sized audience and tne night program being enjoyed by an attendance which quite filled the large tent which has been pitched in Con federate park, on Market street, just north of the armory. The Chautauqua is held under the auspices of the Jacksonville Young Men's Christian Association and with big attractions arranged it is to be expected that the fourth season will by far lead any of the preceeding seasons. A grand concert was given in the afternoon by the native Croatian Tamburica orchestra. These artists played on the tamburica, the musical instrument peculiar to Croatian, and created a most favorable impression, Rcuntree, Geo. W. Cameron, C. E. Long, Ed Boswell, J. R.
