The stations are to established in time for use in the transcontinental aerial contest the club is to hold next year. Miss Law gave the project her enthusiastic indorsement upon her arrival here to-day.

Miss Law landed on Governor's Island at thirty-seven minutes after nine o'clock, making her elapsed time for the 967 miles twenty-five hours twelve minutes and thirty-five seconds. Her actual flying time was eight hours fifty-nine minutes and thirty-five seconds. 
Victor Carlstrom, the previous holder of the American cross-country and non-stop records, was twenty-five hours, forty-six minutes and thirty seconds in covering the same route, and was actually in the air eight hours, twenty-eight minutes and thirty seconds.
