New York, Oct. 27.-The new rec
ord established by Hawley and Post
is estimated unofficially at 1880
miles. Only this year Count Odens-
off, of Russia, claimed to have flown
1924 miles in 40 hours, but the fig
ures were not officially verified. If
the estimated distances are made Of
fetal, the long standing record OF
Count De la Vaulx, of 1913 miles,
made in 1900 in a flight from France
to Siberia, has been broken by at
least three of the contestants in the
recent race-the America, the Dus-
seldorf and the Germania.
New York, Oct 27.-Alan r. Haw-
ley and Augustus Post, the aeronauts
of the balloon America H., for whom
