CENTENARY FLIGHT GRANTS.
In tlie Cabinet grant of £800 to the Centenary flyers I notice that no mention is made of the wireless operator of the Tainui. Surely if Mr. Stewart was recognised by Sir Macpherson Robertson and presented * with the air racc medal, our Government should have given him the same treatment as the others. Walker and McGregor did not fly the Tasraan, while Stewart shared the risks" of the flight from England to New Zealand. Ido not know what salary he received for his services, but it seems strange, not to say unfair, that he is left out of the grant without an explanation. SPORTSMAN.
