The first official plane which will inaugurate the China National Air- ways Corporation's service between Nov. Shanghai and Hongkong Is due to arrive in Hongkung at 2.45 p.m. to- day, and will be welcomed on Its arrival by HE. the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, and the party of Canton officials visiting the Colony led by H.E. General Huang Mun-

sung.

A report that the first plane of the new service had arrived on Tuesday evening, is incorrect, The explana- lion of that plane's arrival was that It was delayed by head winds during its trip from Shanghal, and fearing it would be too dark to land Canton the plano descended at Hong- kong and took off again for Canton early yesterday morning. It carried two passengers, Messrs. K. F. Kwan rind S. Godkin.
