A Business Trip to Ireland A " FLIP " of quite a different character to the honey moon event recorded above was the journey the other day of Mr. Gordon Selfridge to Dublin and back in an Airco machine, piloted by Capt. Gathergood, the winner of this year's Aerial Derby. Upon his arrival in Dublin Mr. Selfridge said that the journey over was devoid of any untoward incident. " Wre passed two storms and went round one," he said. Speaking of the future of commercial flying, he suggested that if one could fly from London to Dublin in three and a hall hours, as he did, it should not be difficult to live in Dublin and do business in London. He predicted that " we shall all be flying across the Atlantic in another three, four or five years, perhaps less." . , . On his return, via the air, to Herdon Mr. Selfridge said : " By using an aeroplane as a super-special train I have been able to transact business with a rapidity which would have The engagement is announced between Capt.

By aeroplane I have made this journey, of roughly 700 miles, in 64 hours. The average speed was just over 100 miles an hour. " If one can make a pioneer flight like this be'ore flying routes have been fully organised, it shows what possibilities there are in high-speed aerial transport to the business man when he is in a hurry." All of which, coming from such a very live business man, is highly encouraging. The Enterprise of the " Evening Standard " VERY commendable and worthy of great results is the enterprise of the proprietors of the Evening Standard, in despatching regularly their newspaper by means of Avro machines to Dover, Deal, Eastbourne, Brighton, Seaford and other south coast towns. By this method the paper is obtainable at these popular resorts practically at the same time as in the London suburbs, about 50 minutes roughly being occupied in the journey from Hendon. Lieut. George Lusted, A.F.C., was the pilot for inaugurating the programme, and, judging by reports, this smart work is highly appreciated. " R. 34 " to Carry Mails? ACCORDING to information received in Halifax, N.S., the Admiralty has instructed the captain of the dirigible " R. 34 " to pass over Nova Scotia and, if possible, Halifax, on its Transatlantic flight (unless weather conditions should necessitate a more southerly course), and to drop oh its way a bag of letters from Great Britain addressed1 to prominent Canadian officials. 89a
