that place was a mile and a half ahead
of the train, the business of which It
■was to go as- fart as the flying ma
chine.

specU»cle of flight in a heavier-thaa-air
machine— flight by man on schedule
Tim* to a < rtain green field as destina
tion, from one world -city to another
world-city and return. There was an
occasional graceful wavy motion in the
air.
Hamilton's wif<- and mother saw him
now. Their tremulous time while wait
gftor news of the actual start, similar,
N is said, to waiting for the first word
of a jury foreman in its electric possi
bilities, grave way to deep breaths of sat
isfaction and confidence in the outcome.
Knowing what he could do. there was
jny and prarp 1n seeing him So it.
Descending to a height of four hun
dred, feet. Hamilton permitted the spe
cial to struggle along immediately be
r.r&th him. and. except for occasional
side flights over fields of daisies, that
relative position was well maintained
throughout the historic ride.
From Elizabeth to Philadelphia he was
greeted by church bells fire bells, fac
tory whistles, shouting multitude*, col
iGgc yells and the excited attention of
countless country citizens those of the
pasture community.
Hai! the Newest Postman.
Bayonne bayed its deafening welcome.
Railway raVrahed it?elf hoarse at the
man who carried a message to the Gov
ernor r 'f Pennsylvania from the Gov
ernor of New York and from Mayor
Gaynor to Mayor Reyburn. He was the
n^v.est sort of postman, and was going
l»ost haste. He was creating the first
fust mall by the overhead route to Phil
edelphia and return, and demonstrating
that an aeroplane could deliver mail
from one city to another with the punc
tuality required by Uncle Sam. During
•the •whole of his first lap he never varied
more than two minutes from his time
card. He passed Rahway at 7:5S about
tv.« hundred and fifty feet from the
ground. The working cf his engine could
be distinctly heard.
Hamilton flew over New Brunswick
soon after S o'clock. The train thep was
ei>out an eighth of a mile ahead of the
aeroplane, ajid both were estimated to
b» making about forty miles an hour, the
airship up 250 feet.
As the aeroplane soared over the city
scores of factories set up n. chorus of
■whistles, and the din was increased by
thf ringing of the bells of three
churches. The bells in these churches
m connected by electric wires and are
usually rung to advertise a fire. Hamil
ton v«is considered to be the warmest
conflagration that had ever required at
tention. He was admitted to be illumi
ratinp. but not dangerous.
No Time to Use the Hose.
The people of New Brunswick did not
have time to turn the hose on him, for
«t g:ic o'clock he was out — out of the
county.
It was while above the busy factories
of N>w Brunswick that Hamilton noted
ith reCBBt how one cylinder of his mo
tor had fjfvea up the ghost. In his
hurry to get away from ihe island he
" *<*. aegtoetei to clean his spark plugs.
But the no«"» of his aerial steed was kept
polntM toward Philadelphia.
Unlike Curtiss, he carried no pontoons,
although he flew thirty-two miles over
v?lt v, at*r. With his engine balking, he
look chances on rooftops, bridges and
over moving trains-^-chances that have
rri-,-., r.r«ri oven thought of before, let
*>lone attempted. The party on the spe
dal train did not know of the aviator's
predicament. Other aeronauts would
have come to earth and explained. But
the rrrathrr was ideal for flight, and
•"]y thr ■weather, Hamilton had prom
ised, would keep him from making the
trip.
And so he hurried on to Monmouth
Junction, which he reached at S:l'.*
o'clock, and to Princeton Junction, at
£:3S »*dock, and to Trenton, at s.4!>
o'clock.
Flies Into Pennsylvania.
Over Bristol, <in the Pennsylvania side
of the river, al 9:02 o'clock, Hamilton
flew directly over the special train and
was makl- g about forty miles an hour.
The aeroplane was about three hundred
foct in the air and was flying steadily.
Cornwell's v.as passed eight minutes
later, and then all m:n<ls turned toward
Philadelphia, whore for hours crowds
had been waiting, only partly convinced
th.-.t there really was such an Institu
tion , its i-n aeroplane and that a man
lived who would risk his life to fly it.
If Phlladelphians had known as much
about flying machines yesterday morn
ing at, B o'clock as they knew a few
minutes after liin*-, more of them would
know to-day how an <*eroj<iane appears
•when sailing through the air. The
twenty thousand persons who went to
the aviation field at Xorth Philadelphia
and the t*-n thousand spectators who
etood on the roofs and in the trees
'round about, wanted to believe in the
advertised trip of Mr. Hamilton, but
■en not inclined to take a really seri
ous view of the possibilities of the aero
plane until they saw the little mechan
fsan hanging in the sky.
No Time to Kill Policemen.
They travelled through mud that was
soft and ugly, and they came in all sorts
of vehicles. They showed, too, a cer
tain well grounded faith in the probabil
ity that their earl. . muggy walk might
be. well rewarded by refusing to kill or
ir.jure a single policeman—evidently for
fear cf missing better sport— no other

reason being manifest. Some estimated
that one-half of the crowd v.as com
posed of Philadelphia policemen, but it
was learned later that this report was
based merely on the amount of unnec
essary unhappiness that they had
caused.
A"t O:"J1 o'clock, when the smoke from
bituminous furnaces hung heavily direct
ly over the surrounding chimneys and
the straggling lines of spectators that
followed the courses of various rail
fences felt depressed from the humidity
and half sorry that they had ever been
foolish enough to believe what they had
read in the newspapers, a boy, in a
! voice that carried conviction, screeched:
"I see him! There's the airship!"
High above the trees to the northeast
I came Hamilton, making not a whisper
of noise, his machine growing larger
and more like its photographs every in
stant, indelibly impressing itself on the
I minds of thousands who had never be
| fore seen anything that meant one-half
[as much. A few minutes before they
i had jokingly coupled Hamilton's flyer
j and Halley's comet. They said the two
j stars were different, of course, but
probably would prove to be equally dis
appointing in their way. A great roar
of satisfaction and delight rolled up
ward at sight of the silent, small, rather
pathetic little stranger.
A handsome young woman, standing
on the front seat of an automobile, be
gan to cry.
"What is the matter, dear?" asked her
: S\\ eethoßJ t.
She Just Wanted to Cry.
"1 don't know. I feel so funny, I want
to cry. I never felt like this before.
Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it a dear?
Just floating in a lake of light, if n't it?"
' "Looks more like the real cheese to
me." replied the young man.
"It's all of that, too," said the girl.
As the aviator came steadily onward
even the policemen of Philadelphia, with
al! thfir natural capacity, could not
smother the great rushes of happiness
that showed in the faces of the fas
cinated, scurrying throng and swelled
in tremendous volume throiTgh the drip
ping atmosphere in the direction of the
fragile, famous flyer.
One old woman, v.ho had walked
through the mud for more than a mile,
kept repeating: "I can't see him. Some
body show him to me, please."
Each instant was adding strength to
the outlines of the aeroplane, and sud
denly the woman shouted, hei cheeks
flushed and eyes dancing:
"Mess me: Why couldn't a thing like
that a' begun when I was younger, so
I could 'a been more u^ed to it? Ain't
v too surprisin' for anything? And him
a-comin' light along so smooth all the
time. too. I wonder where's his mother.*'
His landing place was between a ceme
tery and the Municipal Hospital, un
necessary suburbs to a man who was
coming as steadily as the train and
reaching his destination three minutes
sooner. His character of sportsman was
demonstrated again. Instead of drop
ping to the ground at once, thus ful
iilling the requirements of his contract,
the generous fellow, evidently realizing
that all those thousands of persons had
made sacrifices to see him, circled the
field four times free of charge, but
adding to his fame each second. Then
In- swotted in the way he has made so
well known elsewhere and alighted
beautifully. Sighted at 0:21, he landed
al '.':_.".
Wanted a Cigarette First.
The :irst thing Hamilton wanted was
a cigarette, hut he had to entertain
three hundred policemen first and try
to keep them from crowding his ma
chine. He was trembling from cold and
from a natural feeling of relaxation. Ho
wanted to be alone, to walk by a shady
brooksid<- and brood, if only for a min
ute. A short brood and a long cigarette,
that was all. He looked tired. The day
was fiercely devoid of invigorating KM
Beads* of jwrspiration were on the faces
of those who surrounded him. The trees
did not rustle. Every one save Hamil
ton was suffering from the heavy damp
ness in the atmosphere.
awhile Governor Stuart and Mayor
Reyburn wore trying to reach the hero
imprisoned by tho policemen, and G.
Hilton Gantert. distributer of the
Steams automobiles, as well as the Phil
adelphia representative for the Curtis^
aeroplane. was first on the field with a
decorated Steams car, prepared— nay de
termined—to capture Hamilton and fe«d
him Philadelphia's best. He euceeeded.
Hamilton's wife and mother ran up

the hillside from the railroad tracks and
wanted to kiss him. They were told by
policemen that that could not be done
without a pass. They told who they
were, by what inalienable right they had
hoped to salute him. They couldn't
prove by a yellow ticket that they were
speaking officially, and were detained
for twenty minutes — until Hamilton
identified them.
Mr. Gantert took Hamilton to the
Hotel Majestic, where he ate sparingly,
referred briefly to his trip as the "best
ever," seemed positively happy at the
reception he had had, and planned an
early return to New York, fearing a
sudden change in the weather. He had
f.ve gallons of gasolene in his tank and
Mr. Gantert sent to town for fifteen
more.
"When you get back to New 1 ork you
will probably fly up to Tonkers and
around — that is, if you feel like it?" He
was asked at 11 o'clock.
"It's my motor that has to feel like it
— not me," he said. "I don't count, if
my motor says O. K. we go."
"When Hamilton was approaching his
alighting field on one side of Nicetown
L«inc, there was a sad and silent group
immediately on the other side of a low
stone fence that looked down, not up,
and wept instead of cheered. It was a
meeting of the Quick and the dead. On
the other side of the stone fence Mends
stood bowed while the body of an old
man was buried.
"Gee, I'd like to be him." sal<l a chauf
feur as Hamilton flow around. "He's got
nobody to bump agin but himself; and
look at the money he's making."
Shortly after 11 o'clock the motor was
tested, and at 11:81 Hamilton said a
swift goodby to one and all.
"He'd ought to said his prayers in
stead of smoking that cigarette," said
a motherly looking woman, as he disap
peared to the northward. His first di
rection was northwest, then he circled
a gas tank, came back to the field at an
altitude of 1,000 feet, increasing to 1,500
feet, when he went off in a straightaway
flight.
Ho started back in a spitting rain of
transient character, seven minutes be
fore the special train got under way,
and led his puffing guardian a race to
!Lawrence, thirty-nine miles away, be
fore he took any of the locomotive's
smoke. During that distance the spe
cial was running at the rate of seventy
five miles an hour.
At Philadelphia, in the automobile
Hamilton had said: "Huh! Rougher go
ing down here than up above."
He was flying with wonderful smooth
ness. In his hurry to leave Philadelphia
for home he overlooked a precaution
that later cost him an unwilling descent.
He forgot to clean his spark plugs.
Hamilton had a quartering wind on
the home trip and was making better
time. In the first hour he covered 52.1
miles. Then" his troubles began.
When the time arrived at which he
should have reached Governor's Island
and he was not in sight anxiety took
the place of confidence. There followed
an anxious hour of hurried telephoning
and speculation. Finally came this brief
announcement by telegraph to New
York: "Hamilton stuck in the swamps
at South Amboy."
As Hamilton explained it later, at th?
point where he left the Pennsylvania
tracks he was then leading the special
train and mistook the tracks of the
L.ehlgh Valley for the Pennsylvania,
which they cross at Metuchen. Follow
ing a wrong load he crossed the Raritcn
River a second time, mistaking it for
the Kill van Kull, and then his engine
went wrong.
The rest of his flight was patchwork,
but it brought him safely home. On
leaving South Amboy he headed east for
Staten Island, crossed the Kill van Kull,
•whirled over the Island, and a quarter
of an hour after he had started again
was in eight of his landing place.
He crossed the harbor at almost the
same height as on his outward voyage,
fifteen hundred feet up. To the little
knot of the faithful who had awaited
him on Governor's Island, some since
noon and some since early morning, he
came into sight at 6:3;"), a speck on the
darkening horizon. The speck seemed
to be stationary in the sky. Then it
grew slowly larger. Presently the two
planes could be discerned and a dark
spot that v. as Hamilton.
A shout went up Irom the crowd. The
whistles of every vessel in the bay vo
'•iferated thMr applause. In another
moment he landed, thoroughly tired out,
£rimy, but Emiling and cool.
HAMILTON AT THE WHEEL OF HIS AEROPLANE.
HOW THE FLIGHT WAS ENDED
Hamilton Flew High, So That He Could Glide to Finish
if Propeller Broke.
'I'm glad 1 made the home goal." said
Hamilton, when he stepped out of the ma
chine on Governor's Island last night, and
then, "I must have a smoke-."
In a pocket of the big leather coat he
had a box of cigarettes, and within a
minute of the time he landed one of them
was hanging comfortably from his lips.
Then he turned, with a smile, to the eager
crowd that wanted to greet him. and after
shaking hands with a few of themf spied
his wife and mother coming toward him.
Both of them kissed him, and he gripped
the hands of Benjamin Beaudett, his step
father, and then, though tired, told briefly
of the day's experience.
"T had smooth sailing: on the way over."
said Hamilton: "no trouble at all, after the
one propeller accident before T loft the
ground hrre this morning, and on the way
back everything was just as smooth until I
struck Metuchen. Then J became con
fused, and I guess I followed the TiSJlll.ll
Valley tracks instead of the Pennsylvania.
At any rate, I found myself near this
South Amboy. and just about then— lt was
six minutes to 1 o'clock— l began to notice
the engine.
"It was missing explosions on two cylin
der?, and the power of the drive died down
considerably. So I looked down for a
place to land, and that was the first time
during the trip. I believe, that T noticed
the country through which T was passing
at all. I saw what I thought was a hard
preen field and dropped into It. and found
that it was in reality a soft, swampy field,
covered with long green gTass.
•There was nothing wrong with the pro
peller then, only the engine was missing on
two cylinders, and what they needed was
merely cleaning. But once I got in that
swamp it was a hard matter to get out.
The wheels under the 'plane sank into the
soft ground and the propeller blade was
broken off when the end of it struck & big
rut.
"Then f had to wait until a new propeller
was brought down to me from New York,
and luckily 'Pete' Young brought two of
them, because the first one we put on was
broken also.

"Then we lifted the machine bodily out
of that swamp and put It on thr firm
: ground of the roadway nearby. Even then
; I had an awful time getting the crowd
! which had gathered to stand back far
j enough to give me a little runway, and by
the time all the difficulties had been over
come It was 6:20 p. m."
Hamilton was asked about the average
height of his flight, and put it at about five
hundred feet.
Tn explaining how it had been consider
ably higher than that, however, from Soutli
Amboy to Governor's Island, on the last
lap of the trip, he said:
"From South Amboy 1n I was a little
afraid the propeller might give out. W<s
had just put It on. you see. and I didn't
have ttaofl to test ft thoroughly before I
starteu. So I flew along"
"A little lower, eh?" queried a sympa
thetic listener.
Hamilton turned with palpable surprise.
•Why. no," h© said; "I flew higher, went
up to about fifteen hundred feel there, be
cause, don't you see, if the propeller went
wrong any time I'd have, a chance then to
glide on to the finish, '.f it wasn't too far
altogether."
Apparently it never occurred to Hamilton
that with the propeller broken most avia
tors seek the ground, and when there is a
chance that it is broken they stay pretty
near the ground. Instead of that he had
the object of being as hich as possible
when it broke, so that he might still be able
to have a chance to flni?h what he had un
dertaken.
"Over Newark and Trenton I flew high.
too," Hamilton said: "up something like a
thousand feet, I guess, but the resl of the
time averaged around five hundred."
"Do you think aviators will be saying
they're going over to 'Philadelphia right
along now?" he was asked.
"Oh. they may say they're going over,"
said Hamilton, with a laugh, emphasizing
the "pay. "
Great Crowd to Greet Him.
Something more than five thousand per
sons prr^rtf-ci Hamilton'? return when his
machine came into ?ight away to the south
on the Kill van Kull at about 6:35 o clork
last night. Several thousands were massed
around the Bat fry sea wafl and the- nearby
Brooklyn piers, and cl<">. c o to one thousand
persons, civilian? and soldiers, onjm on the
aviation field at Governor's Islasji.
He grew rapidly in size on vi«»w and
.seemed to b* making the srraisrhtest kind
of a bee line for the aeroplane shed on the
island from the moment when he came into
sight.
Above th» south *nd of the Island he
shot along at about five hundred feet, then
turned at a sweeping angle of about 40
degrees, and, turning off power, glided to
earth within a hundred yard"» of the shed.
When he crossed over to Manhattan an
other big crowd was waiting for him.
They cheered and rushed him good nat
uredly, and Patrolman Frank Roth, of
the John street station, thought Hamilton
needed help.
The little fellow looked tired when he
finished, and his face was streaked with
dirt and perspiration. Roth held MM crowd
off as well as possible, and tried to find
an automobile, which some one had told
Hamilton was waiting for him. hut finally,
when the policeman learned that no such
automobile was around, he got a machine
that was standing near, ar.rl the occupants
gladly made room for Hamilton. They
whisked him up to the Hotel Astor, where
his wife and mother awaited him.
Glenn H. Curtis?, who flow down the
Hudson from Albany a couple of weeks
ago. met. Hamilton on his return and was
I3ri?h in hi" praise of the plucky aviator.
"He's done something that no one else
would do." said < "urtlss. "Many wouldn't
want to try. and others wouldn't succeed.
Tt was a daring flight, and a most satis
factory one. And T tei! you that a flight
like that is a great deal more daring than
any of these European >ross-country
flights, because they have been mostly over
nice, smooth country— farm country. None
of this crossing big cities in their 'cross
country flights there. Hamilton is the. fi-.«t
flyer in the world, T think, and tie deserves
all the credit that can be given to him."
Curtiss sttl! holds the official record for
speed, but Hamilton took all American
records for 'cross-country distance and
duration yesterday, and. using his own fig
ures for the return journey, his average
speed established a new figure.
Used Glenn Curtiss's Biplane.
It was an interesting coincidence that
Hamilton won his honors with the same bi
plane that won the international speed
trophy for Glenn H. Curtiss at "Rheims last
year, and that he was driven by the sam»
propeller, at leapt until the unlucky de
scent. with which Curtiss recently made
his historic flight from Albany to New
York. -V
Curtlss flew over a more sMsswaasM
country, but Hamilton overcame obstacles
of geography and setback? of luck that no
other aviator had over conquered.
"It was a great trip." said Hamilton.
after it was all over and he had had a bite
to eat. "Of course. T am sorry that T was
not a.hle to come to Xew Tork without a
stop, and go on up th*> Hudpon to Yonk»rs
and back, to make a new swMTI record for
a flight without landing. But I feel satis
fied. It was a good days work.
"Everything went in great shape on At
way to Philadelphia. The engine worked
perfectly, and T kept along with the spe
cial train without trouble, and reached
Philadelphia just as I had planned.
"On the way back T noticed that the
motor was sluggish some time before T de
cided that I must descend. One of the cyl
inders missed Tire, and finally stopped work
ing altogether. Then a second cyhnder
went out of business. The engine did not
respond well to the throttle. Tt lacked life
and power, and I decided that It would
not be safe to attempt tu© remainder of
the journey.
"The trouble with the motor was due
solely to the. spark plugs. They were so
dirty that they did not carry the spark
into the cylinders. If I had cleaned them
before I started out this morning I should
have been able to complete th* flight as
I had planned.
"I landed on what I thought was a. field
of grain, but when T struck ground I found
that there was water under it. I was in
water and slush to my hips. When help
came we picke<l up the machine and car
ried It to th© road.
"I might have been on my way affair
in an hour and a .half if tt had not been
for th* crowd which collected. I doaft
know where all the people came from. It
looked as though there were, fifty thousand
of them."
"When I waj off ascaln It was easy going.
The motor worked well, I did not
trust it. and I rose to an altitude of be
tween 1,400 and 1.500 fe*t. so that if It
stopped I should have plenty of leeway to
glide to the ground. That wa the highest
altitude I attained during the day On the
way to Philadelphia T kept most of the
time between 400 and 500 feet up. at no time
going more than SCO feet up. On the return
trip, before I stopped. I was somewhat
nearer the ground most of the time.
"I m.ul.- no attempt to attain great speed
goins: at a fair, steady rate. I had the
throttle almost shut off much of the time "
"Do you think." Hamilton was asked,
'that you have demonstrated that such
flights as you made to-day are practicable"
Would It be safe for a skilful aviator to
plan a journey like that almost any day'"
"It would be perfectly safe for him to
plan it. Hamilton chuckled.
