AIR COMPANIES' MERGER.
TOURIST FLIGHTS IN SUMMER , FAST TRIP YESTERDAY. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, this day. The Waikato Aviation Company and Rotorua "■ Airways have amalgamated. The new company will be known as Rotorua Airways, and with headquarters at RotorUa will operate a De Haviland Puss Moth, a three-seater cabin monoplane, and a standard Gipsy Moth. The Puss Moth is similar to the one at present being flown to Australia by Captain. Matthews.

A very fast trip was made by Captain R. R. Money yesterday. He flew from Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, to Hamilton in 2h 10m flying time. He flew in a Gipsy Moth, and had «, favourable' wind.
