and sharpened like a toothpick at the other. had broken off and shot through the tire of one of the rear wheels. sticking there but letting the air out of the tube It was the one chance in a thousand that the splinter did not hit some one of a dozen men standing around the machine, in which case it would surely have gone clear through him.
 The work of substituting a new pro- pelier and a new wheel only required few minutes and the engine being in good condition. the flying began at once In line with the observation made above. Mir Willard said last ev- ening that the aeroplanes are a con stant surprise in that respect. One never knows what will happen. He says he has had propellers break. wings give way, wire braces snap. and all manner of similar things happen while he was in the air. It is the constant dread of the flyer that some thing like that will occur. Such things give the flyer a great deal more un- easiness than anything else. for under ordinary conditions if everything works well there is little danger of his ability to control the machine and there is a pretty complete knowledge of what it can do and what can be done with it. Theoretically every thing is nicely provided for but the machine has to be constructed so del- icately. one never knows what mo- ment some part of it will refuse to stand the strain with such powerful engine pumping in such an unstable construction.
 The First Flight.
 Wheeling his machine to the upper track In very few minutes MT. Ham ilton was in the air for a cross-coun- try run of four minutes and ten sec onds. He took the usual course south east across the field to the fence. thence east. north and west back to the grounds. which he circled the sec ond time and then settled down sub Timely on the race track in front of the cheering people. It was only d try-out preliminary to the big con tract with the Studebaker buzz wag- on. But first it was decided to warm up the latter in it's ten-mile contest with the Buick for a cup. 5000 and a lot of glory.
 THE AUTOMOBILE DUEL.
 The Studebaker E. NJ F. had all ready tried the track with Bruce Burch behind the goggles. The Buick under the coaching of Smith, Mel Johnson's chauffer. circled the oval and all was in readiness. At the crack of the gun the Studebaker made the best getaway and was yards ahead before the White Streak got well started. The lead was in creased little on the first lap. which ended with less than three seconds between them. In the next lap part of second was gained by the Stud ebaker. making the difference even three seconds. A part of a second was lost in the third, two-fifths of a second gained in the fourth and an other fifth in the next, and in the sixth the white machine gained four fifths of second on the black one. In the next, four the Buick lost slow ly and finally lost the race by 13 4-5 seconds. Following is the time, by laps. singly and accumulated:
