HAMILTON MAY PLAN A
TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT
Aviator Suggests Trip from New
York to Chicago for a
Prize of $25,000
NEW YORK, June I.—Charles K.
Hamilton, the aviator who was first
to suggest the offering of $25,000 as the
prize of an aeroplane flight between
Now York and Chicago, and who vol
unteered a subscription of $2000 toward
the project, believes the time soon will
come when some aviator will succeed
in crossing the Atlantic In an aero
plane. This" prophecy he made follow
ing his statement that he would be a
competitor for the New York-Chicago
prize, which he says he does not con
sider too difficult.
The transatlantic problem will
come next," he continued, "and cross
ing the Atlantic in the air would be a
greater feat than that of Columbus.
The expense of a trip across the At
lantic rather than the risk of life In
volved is the one factor which is keep
ing aviators from attempting the pass
age. ■. •■'■-'.;
"It would require a large machine
with capacity for a great quantity of
gasoline. The Atlantic could be crossed
at its narrowest point, which is about
1150 miles, In twenty-four hours.
"One of the requisites for such a trip
is a fast boat build especially for such
a trip, which could develop and sus
tain a speed of from forty to fifty knots
an hour-. While such a motorboat could
not keep up with the aeroplane, the lat
ter could make circles In the air and
fly back every time it got too far
ahead."
Hamilton will go to Chattanooga,
Term., later in the month for a series
of government aeroplane tests. He Is
twenty-nine years old and is possessed
of an independent fortune. He is a
graduate of the Sheffield Scientific
school at Yale and is a lineal descend
ent of Alexander Hamilton.
