FLYING

KINGSFORD SMITH CONTINUES FLIGHT. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, Thursday. A message from Wvndham states that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith left at 8.7 a.m. local time and expects to reach Brisbane on Saturday, Sydney on Sunday, and Melbourne next Monday. The nervous exhaustion from which he was suffering in the early stages of the trip has completely disappeared. Officials of the Wyndham meat-works entertained him last night. In the course of his speech, Sir Charles declared that Wyndham had outstanding claims as the first port of entry for aeroplanes from overseas, as it was a hundred miles closer and three hundred miles less of water than the Darwin route. Ho added that his record was bound to be shattered by competitors in the centenary air race, but he thought the machine which would beat the record would be definitely out of the light ’plane class. The Prime Minister has received His Majesty’s congratulations for Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith landed at Camooweal at 6.15 o ’clock, instead of Charleville, owing to head winds. He departs for Brisbane, a distance of 1400 miles, to-morrow. MR GREENE’S FLIGHT.
