In Curtiss Hydroplane with
Alan Hawley He Flies
Over Hudson.
BIRDS BEATEN IN RACE

Perhaps it was because this is the
closed season on ducks now or simply the
fact that he didn't carry gun that
kept Alan X. IIawley, president Of the
Aero club, from enjoying to complete
thrills of a new sport which he found
yesterday when Lawrence Sperry took
him for a ride Ia flying boat M the
Hudson and back Mr.. Hlwlsy told re
porters that chasing wild ducks In du
acroplane was the best sport he knew
President IIawley said last night that
they had broken the American lying boat
record for distance and duration FOR an
aviator with passenger, with q night OF
sixty miles In one hour and twenty-five
minutes. This record was held hy Adolph
- Sutro for Il flight In California a year
ago of thirty-three miles in o-e hour ana
fifteen minutes
