London, October 5.-Dmirg the first

throughout Great Britain generally was
so hot that King klama, the visiting
African potentate. who has taken tha
place Of Nazrulla Khan as the foreign

king was Handicapped by d. frock coat,

large and small steamers and sailing
craft went 10 the bottom, or left their

The life boat men, as usual, did noble
service, but all their Efforts did not
prevent the loss of life from tallying up
towards a hundred. according to tho.
conservative estimates. Not for twen-
ty years has such a hot September been!
experienced here, and no such cold
weather has been experienced in Eng
land during the month of October for
five years past. Two degrees OF frost
were registered in London and IL was
very much colder in the provinces.
Then. again, the sudden change OF
weather. It all occurred within a few
hours, had a very bad effect on inyalids
and old people the lcl,h rate taklng
jump upward in almos- ali parts Of
the country.
The Newmarket trainers, however,.
who have candidates for the Caesare-
witch stakes, which event is to be rum
next week, hailed the change Of wethen
with delight. The race promises to be-
most interesting, and viii be Witnessed
by the Prince of Wales and all tho
prominent sportsmen Of the United
Kingdom. The Prince Will occupy his'
roms at the Jockey Club, which ara
still adorned with photographs OF Mrs.
I.angtry and Lady CORVALLIS WeSt,i

at the height Of their fame. They VIII
doubtless recall to the Princes mind
many pleasant moments Of his earlier
career, although the originals have
long ago passed away into the mists Oh
those who have been.
Among the starters will be Mr.. Char
les D. Roses St. Hilare, q bay colt by

stakes. while Banquet IT,, formerly tho
nroperty of Mr.. NJ. e. Dwyer, and now
owned by Capt. Aiken, carrying a very
light weight, 80 pounds, against the 10
pounds which Glorizel II. must run un-
der, finds some favor. When they ran
in the race for the Newmarket Cup
Florizel II. and Banquet had the same
handicap.
