the first really hot weather Of the year.
In London there have been several SUM-

peared agai on all sides and everywhere
is heard the complain. that the weather
is worse than that of the tropics, al

HENLEY BOYCOTTED.
In spite Of the beautiful weather and |
the very exciting contests, Henley has /

compared with other years. The chief !!
reason is probably the rebellion which |
