ANNOUNCED NEAR- FUTURE

"Telegraph" Special Correspondent

THE "Telegraph" learns from an authoritative source that the composition of the local Committee which will be in charge of the arrangements for the celebrations on the occasion of the Coronation of H. M. King Edward VIII will be announced in the very near future.

The Committee, it is understood, will be practically identical with that which successfully arranged the local celebrations on the occasion of the Silver Jubileo of the late King George V and Queen Mary.

The Coronation Committee will comprise fourteen sub- Committees.

A feature of the local programmes will be a combined Review of all the Services. Arrangements for this will probably be in tho hands of the Commodore, a representative of the Army, Hongkong: the Officer in Charge of the Royal Air Force, the Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps and the Commanding Officer, H.K.N.V.F.

The task of illuminating the Colony will be in the hands of. two sub-Committees, one of which will take charge of arrangements afloat and the other ashore.

The sub-Committee In charge of illuminations afloat will prob-| ably comprise the Commodore, Harbour Master, Inspector Gen- eral of Police, members of the Legislative Council and members of the general public,

In charge of illuminations ashore will be a committee which will prob
