(Received August 25, at 5.5 p.m.) The Daily Mail calls attention to the fact that to-day is the fifth anniversary of commercial flying from London to the Continent. British machines have flown 4,000,000 miles, attaining 91 per cent, of reliability in summer and 88 per cent, throughout the year, including winter fogs. They carried nearly 50,000 passengers, and only six persons were killed.—Sydney Sun Cable.
