SYDNEY, Sept. 24

Under the influence of a hot westerly wind, Sydney to-day experienced the hottest September day since 1859, the thermometer registering 91.1. The city was hidden in clouds of dust. A cool change, accompanied by rain, set in to-night.

Rain is falling in the south-western districts, and towards the South Australian border. The prospects of relief from the great heat which has prevailed throughout the State lately are more hopeful.
