tion, although it was utterly impossible for me to accept such diverse advice as was tendered me.
Having previously gained some little fame as a cyclist, Messrs. Bennett and Wood came forward with an offer to "mount" me on one of their Royal Speedwell road racers, fitted with Armstrong's three speed gear, free wheel, front hub brake, and Dunlop canvas-lined tyres. This I gladly accepted and the fact that this machine has been my trusty companion throughout all my vicissitudes speaks volumes for the excellence of its manufacture.
Again, Messrs. Harringtons Ltd., knowing that I dabbled a little in photography, presented me with one of their Post-Card Cameras, No. 3 Ensign, and Ensign roll films, and I trust I have not disappointed them in the use I have made of their gift. It has been my privilege to contribute from time to time short articles and photographs of points of interest en route to The Australian Photographic Journal published by this up-to-date firm.
