NON-STOP RECORD.
NEW YORK TO MEXICO.
FAST TRIP ACCOMPLISHED
(Received Juno 22, 5.5 p.m.) MEXICO CITY, Juno 21,
Colonel Fierro to-day completed a nonstop flight from New York to Mexico City, a distance of 2200 miles, in 16 hours 35 minutes. This beat Colonel Lindbergh's time by 11 hours in his flight from Washington to Mexico City in 1927 which, however, was not a non-stop journey. • ,
