Dec. 10, 1909: “There are few sights funnier than a large crowd on the streets during a heavy downpour. Such was the case yesterday. During the early morning a patrolman had been stationed at Temple and Broadway to assist women across the waters. But the whole police force could not have given the needed assistance to the throngs that tried wading across Broadway and 2nd, Main and 4th, 7th and Broadway and other besieged watering places.”
