As reported in the \‘Tribune” last week, as soon as a ground has been provided in Gisborne, a service between that town, and Hastings will be inaugurated. Tho New Plymouth Borough Council is contemplating preparing a ground, and when this is done, Wellington and New Plymouth will bo joined, by an air service. The machine used in the Gisborne-Hast-ings service will be either an Avro 5 or a Westland 4—both British threeengine monoplanes of the Southern Cross type.
