CITY TO CITY FLIGHT
 IS MADE BY HAMILTON
Voyages From New York to
 Philadelphia and Back.

What is declared by aviators to be one of the greatest achievements in the annals of aerial navigation was made by Charles K. Hamilton when he made an aeroplane flight from New York to Philadelphia and back again to his starting point.
 His aerial flight from New York to Philadelphia and back again proved that Hamilton is more than a dare devil lnan-bird.' It places him high among the master aviators of the world In completing the wonderful flight Hamilton not only displayed dar- ing, but the resourcefulness and gen. eralshin essential to the conquest of the air. When his machine broke down on the return voyage it looked for a time as though the $10,O00 prize would slip from his fingers, but Hamilton grimly held to his purpose and at last sailed triumphantly back to his start ing place.
 His prize was equal to that paid to Glenn H. Curtiss for his air ride from Albany to New York. AS Curtiss is
Connecticut western news., 1910-06-16

"a New York boy" New York was proud of his success and rejoiced with him. Hamilton is "a Connecticut boy,' and today Connecticut is rejoicing.
 Hamilton, the little redhaired aero bat of the upper airs, lifted his biplane over Governors island at 7:43 o'clock in the morning, and at $40 p. m. in the evening he returned to the spot from which he started.
 The flight to Philadelphia was made without mischance. Straight as a pigeon on the wing Hamilton sailed over cities, rivers and farms, winging an unsurveyed course. At BPS a. m. he was shaking hands with Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania, eighty-six miles from Governors island.
 His luck failed him on the journey hans record for uninterrupted flight IF miles, London to Litchfeld. Fifty. three miles from Philadelphia he lost his bearings, mistaking a green patch of Jersey for Staten Island, and simul. taneously two of the eight cylinders of his engine coughed and quit work He dropped into the clutch of a swamp near South Amboy, and it was hours before repairs could be made and the aviator could escape the immense crowd that Tswarmed from the Jersey towns.
 As it was, his actual flying time for the 172 miles in 209 minutes.
 Few men have received the kind of reception that Hamilton got when he dropped out of the clouds last even- ing. Along the Battery, the water front of lower Brooklyn, the edge of Staten Island and the Jersey shore the piers and sea walls were black with people. Thousands of them had waited for hours, swayed by rumors that came from the Amboy swamp. On Governors island, at the aviation grounds, thousand chins were turned skyward.
 All the weariness of the long wait, the impatience and the damp chill of the evening were forgotten when an officer with powerful field glasses sud- denly threw up his right hand and whooped like a Comanche. He was a gray and dignified officer, but he pi- rouetted like a soubrette. His yell was echoed over the wide expanse of sand that the government has built up from the sea. There was scurrying toward the water side. People stumbled blind ly in the tricky sands, fell, picked themselves up and ran on.
 He came so fast that a few seconds after the officer spotted him the aero plane was discernible to the naked eye. You saw painted against the gray mists of Staten Island over the Kill von Kull a blur. It might have been the tiniest puff of smoke. Ten seconds more and it was a wide winged bird a bird with its head tucked out of sight On it came in a line a quarter of mile south of the Statue of Liberty, 1 400 feet above the bay. In another l flash of time you made out the clean lines of the planes and you could see i Hamilton crouched over his steering | wheel. - ...
