Mr Avery, ,Superintendent of Ini porial Cable--, lecturing before the Postal and Telegraph Society, eulogised the Pacific Service, which was increasing to such a degree that it was necessary to duplicate a considerable section, especially from Bamfield to Fanning Island', which ‘hampered speedy transmission. Notwithstanding, excellent, results had been achieved! Last summer’s 20 minutes’ record, the Ring’s message to the Prince of Wales, giving the result oi the Derby, was .surpassed, during the cricket, tour, when ihe scores were reeeived in the London head office from ihe Sydney ground within iuteen minutes. The Imperial Service embraced two Atlantic cables, one of which was leased*" to the Western Union, subject to resumption when required, imperial business was increasing as a result ol canvassing lor customers.
