FIRST FALL OF SNOW
British Official Wireless.
RUGBY, 17th November
England on Friday experienced the first thick fog of the year. It delayed steamer traffic round the coast, and for a time impeded the air service with the Continent. The Prince of Wales's personal aeroplane, in which -his pilot was returning from Paris with a friend, made a. landing at Woking in order to avoid the thicker fog which hung over London. At first it was believed that the Prince was in tho machine, but His Highness had been in London throughout the day and had merely lent his machine to his pilot and friend. Durin"the evening tho fog gave way to heavy ram and strong winds. For the second time in a week over one inch of rain was registered- in twenty-four hours in many parts of Southern England yesterday and the first fall of snow of the season was experienced. Yesterday's flight of the airship ElOl was postponed, and horse racing at Hurst Park and many football and golf matches and other outdoor events wore stopped. Extensive flooding is reported from many areas. Only one air liner left Croydon during the day, and the Indian mail was sent N by boart and train to Budapest. Heavy seas ran in tho Channel, but. no loss of life is so far reported.
