A receipt from the London office of Dr. Barnardo’s Homes would he sent to Air Bone for the amount above detailed. Air Alpe has unfortunately strained a tendon of his left ankle, and this mishap compelled, him to abandon his intended effort to set up a new record between Eltham and Hawera, but he left this morniner for Patea, and hopes that a week-end’s rest there will put matters right. Air Lee also expressed the very sincere thanks of the party to Air Anderson. licensee of the White Hart Hotel, and to Afrs AlcLean. of Somerset Hpuse, for the hospitality extended to members of the pai’tv.
