Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—

The system of Travellers Chaques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form travel currency which would give the holder the security of a loiter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Cheques was an apparent that other banking institutions adopted the synbarn.”

Last minute advices of the coming of the Squadron were re- Golved over the week-end which led offlajals of the aerodrome to expect their arrival on Saturday afternoon. However, after making a start from Salomague at 0.30 am. that day, the Squadron was compelled to turn back after being three hours at sea, for a reason which was not then stated but which is now revealed to have been engine trouble occurring to one of the machines. This was of n minor character, and after the necessary repairs had been made the Squadron successfully resumed the dificult passage yesterday, a day behind their scheduled time.

Wireless Reports,

Within the last hour-and-a-half of their arrival, the Squadron was in continuous wireless communica tion with the Aerodrome, and some time before its appearance over the harbour a flight of local machines, consisting of a land plane and two seaplanes went out to act as escort. It was the land plane which eventually headed Harbour. the Flight over the Captain Cave-Browne-Cave the Commander of the Squadron, was in the machine which flew at the apex of the visitors' formation.
