ATLANTIC CITY, July 2. 1910.
The big resort full of people is fairly
a-quiver with expectation Of the big avia-
ton events of the Fourth. The trains
are bringing down many who at the
last moment could not Withstand the
temptation of seeing some of the most
brilliant of the worlds aviators fly over
the ocean from one end Of the Boardwalk
to Chelsea. and to try for worlds records
for altitude.
Although the crowd undoubtedly will
be great, the thousand or more hotels
and boarding places will be adequate. it
is thought. and none need stay away
for fear of not getting In somewhere.
The aviation meet at Atlantic City will
begin the Fourth of July and last until
the 18th. A brilliant array of aviators
will be on hand. Glenn II. Curtiss, who
holds the Gordon Bennett cup and world 5
record for speed having made the well
known flight from Albany to New York,
will be here to fly personally in his ma
chimes every day of the meet with the
exception of two days, when Charles X.
Hamilton will fly in Curtiss machine.
Charles X. Hamilton is one of the most
spectacular of aviators and occasionally
dips from an altitude of LOCO feet to with
in twenty-five feet Of the ground.
Capt. Baldwin will be present to fly
In Curtiss machine. The Atlantic City
Aero Club has also signed contracts with
the Wright brothers to send Walter E.
Brookins with thei: machines.
