GOOD PROGRESS IN AUSTRALIA. (By Telegraph.—Special to Standard.) AUCKLAND, April 7. Commercial flying is making good grogress in. Australia, according to Mr farvey Turner, who returned to Auckland after a visit to the Commonwealth. When in the Murrumbidgee district Mr Turner wished to go to Adelaide. He made the journey by air, calling at Hay and Mildura en route. He found that, apart from a saying in time, the trip cost him less than the rail fare, would havebee nnecetrssaoogy because had he travelled by train it would have been necessary to go back to Melbourne, which meant a considerable detour. He had been told that seats in some of the regular service ’planes were booked for weeks ahead. The Sydney-Brisbane service was most prosperous. Machines left daily with clockwork regularity, and the i'ourney took only four and a half lours.
