(P) Wiley Post and Ilowurd Gatty, New York-New York filers, via tlio crown of tho globe, took off from the Cleveland alifiort at 4:44 p.m., eastern standard time, today on tlie lust lap of their record-breaking dash. ' They resumed their Journey after a brief pause at the Cleveland airport for a rapid refueling of their plane. CLEVELAND, July 1. UP) Back In the United States for the home stretch of their record breaking dash around the globe, Wiley Post and Harold Gatty brought their monoplane, Winnie Mae, down at the Cleveland air port for a refueling stop at 4:15 p.m., eastern standard time, to day. Their safe arrival here left them Just BOO miles to go before they gain Roosevelt field, New York, and the honor of having been the speediest persons to navigate the world. They left Roosevelt field nine days ago on their 10,000 mile race against time. Today's hop brought them from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 1800 miles away, where they took the air at 6:39 a.m., eastern standard time. They had. maintained a speed of about 150 miles an hour. EDMONTON, Alta., July l.(P) Using a paved street for a run way, Wiley Post and Harold Gutty hopped off from here this morning for Cleveland, Ohio, beyond which lay tho home stretch of their IB,-000-mile flight around the world. They hoped to reach Roosevelt Field, New York, by 11 o'clock to night (IS. S. T.), thereby complet ing their flight in nine days. The monoplane Winnie Mae took the air at 3:30 a. m. (Mountain standard time 5:39 E. S. T.), and headed southeast for the 1600-mile flight to Cleveland, which the fliers hoped to accomplish in 11 or 12 hours. Field Impossible Rain, which had fallen here for the past 24 hours, ceased Just be fore the takeoff, but it had left Bluchford field, where the plane landed yesterday, a quagmire from which a takeoff with the plane's heavy load of fuel would have been well nigh impossible. Post ran the plane along the street for a quarter of a mile be fore it lilted into the air in the face of a northwest breeze. After swlngtng in a wide circle the plane headed southeast and straightened out on Its course. Neither the pilot nor Gatty, the navigator, would say before they took off just what, course they would follow, but said they would bear well to the south to get away from the storm area in the vicinly of Edmonton. Refreshed By Rest There was little delay In the takeoff. The fliers, refreshed by several hours' sleep, arrived at the field shortly before 3 a. m. Me chanics were warming up the plane when they arrived at the hangar. After obtaining the Canadlun weather reports they climbed Into the plane and took off. Post delayed hiB start until po lice had cleared the street of spec tators,, of whom hundreds were on hand despite the early hour. The fliers expressed their grati tude tor their reception here, say ing they had enjoyed the best night's rest they had since they left Roosevelt field June 23. "But we'll be mighty glad to get back home after this grind," Post said. They arrived here at 4:35 p. m. (Mountain Standard time) yester day from Fairbanks, Alaska. Ace a Spectator Among those who saw the globe circlers off was White May, one of Canada's foremost aviators, the world war flier who engaged Baron Richtohofen, German ace, In the last battle before Kichthoren was killed. ' The fliers set their plane down in a tieat three-point landing on the soggy turf of Hlatchford field here yesterday at the end of a ten hour flight from Fairbanks, Alaska. A-crowd of 1500 that had braved the all-day rain broke through po lice lines and splashed across the mud to surround the Winnie Mae. Despite their fatigue, Post and Oatty declined an automobile to take them across the field and re mained out In the rain to superin tend the towing of their plane to a hangar by a tractor. rolphTtthrottle of longest train SACRAMENTO, July 1. tfP The longest loaded train to go over the Sierra Nevadas left Sacramen to today comprising 117 cars of redwood lumber valued at more than ' J200.000 with (lovernor James' Rolph Jr., at the throttle of the giant locomotive.
