A POSTAL RECORD
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
SYDNEY, 21st October,
Can this be beaten in New Zealand? On 20th October, 1924, a seed merchant in one of the suburbs of Sydney posted to a client, at Nawabri West, a country town in New South Wales, a card informing him that the seeds which he had purchased had been dispatched by parcels post. A few days ago, twentythree months after its dispatch, the card was delivered in Narrabri West. Election battles have been won and lost. Cobham has flown from London to Australia and back home again, the little seeds whose dispatch was announced in the communication have grown into lusty plants and shed new crops of seeds, while the little card has been loitering somewhere or- other on the road between Sydney and Narrabri. It had taken close on two years to travel about 360 miles. \
