SETTING NEW RECORDS.
TWO ENGLISHMEN BUSY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 26. Captain Neville Stack and Mr. J. R. Chaplin on Wednesday made a record flight to Warsaw and back in one day, in a Vickers-Napier mail-carrying biplane of 530 horse-power. The airmen are now planning a flight to India and back in six days. They recently flew 2000 miles to Constantinople in one day, and also made the return journey in one day. The fastest time for the return journey to India is 7% days, which was accomplished by Captain C. O. Barnard, accompanied by the Duchess of Bedford, two years ago.
