DUTCH WORLD-FLIERS.
ERRATIC FLYING. CALCUTTA, Nov. 16. The Dutch aviators who are engaged on a flight around the world, flying an erratic course towards Siam, left Akyab yesterday, with the intention of going to Bangkok in one flight; hut they unexpectedly appeared over the Rangoon racecourse. This is the only landing-place in Rangoon, but races wore in progress, and thousands of racegoers were thrilled by the sight of the aeroplane living so low that it nearly knocked off the roof of the club premises. Seeing that they were unable to land safely, the airmen made off towards Bangkok. \
