CHINESE AERIAL HOOVER VICTORY PEACE OF CANTON

TRIP.

SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT FROM CANTON TO HANKOW.

FIRST STAGE DONE.

The first stage of the Chinese long-distance flight from Canton to Peking and back has been auc- cessfully completed, according to advices received by Mr. R. Vaug han Fowler, the airmen having reached Hankow at 4:30 pm. on Sunday. This means that the dis. tance of-550 miles was covered in seven and a quarter hours, which must be regarded as extremely satisfactory, seeing that notes were taken on route regarding the condition of the country.

.

General Cheung Wai-cheung, the chief of the Canton Aviation Bureau, is piloting the "Ryan" machine which is on this flight The route to be followed now in from Hankow to Nanking, thence to Peking. The return trip will be made in two stages via Shang
