London, Nov. 10.-The lord mayors
show was favored With fine weather
and was witnessed by the usual crowds
of people. The enthusiasm was divided
between the car representing the Sou
dan, with soldiers of the regiments
which took part in the battle of Omdur-
man, and the car representing the Eng
disappearing races. The latter dis
played among other things Britannia

was an illustration of Admiral Tatnall's
"Blood is thicker than water" and OF
Admiral Kimberley's repetition of the
same expression to Capt. Kane after
the disaster at Apia, Samoa. This car
was warmly acclaimed.

which was greatly Disappointing to his

make better showing than Gov.
Clough did two years ago. The vote
