10000 PERSONS SAW
HAMILTON FLY IN NEW BRITAIN
Takes Unusual Risks to Make Good iu
His Home Town.

New Britain, July 3.-Something
went wrong with Charles K. Hanil-
toms aeroplane engine here Saturday
and for time it looked as if the dar-
ing aviator would fail to make good
in his home town
He had promised to appear at two
O'Clock and at that hour was in the
air. But after scraping a few trees
the machine lighted in a valley TO the
east. Hamilton had been up a min
utes and a half. Something had gone
wrong with the engine. Then follow
ed hours that tried the mettle Of tho
populace of this town. They were
hours that tried Hamilton, that made
Mrs. Hamilton cry his mother sorrow-
ful, and the aViator's friends shudder
at the thought of the possibility of n
killing frost on a sutry day
Hamilton made four flights before
the day was over, a total OF 35 1-2
minutes including soar over the
main street of New Britain and back
again to Walnut Hill. But from 227
o'clock until $40 O'clock, almost three
hours, no one, including the indefatf-
gable aviator, knew whether another
flight would be possible. II was the
kind of situation that makes hearts
burn.
People swarmed over hill and dale.
all country roads were jammed with
vehicles. The crowds were patient
not seeking announcement, not court
see. but their attitude was, after all,
eminently proper. They had como TO
see some flying in a flying machine,
and they had only seen a man go UP
and then some down. After he came
down, how could they know whether
he was really intending to fly some
more or not2
1t was a sad depressing scene. In
the meantime Hamilton was working
After two hours he said: IT will fly
over these people tonight If never
fly again" His friends chirled up
and sat down in the shade. They re-
membered Philadelphia and Perth Ann
boy
At $40 o'clock Hamilton circled the
valley three times and came down on
the side of the hill at the end OF five
minutes. The machine was hauled
to the top of the hill where twenty
thousand persons waited.
At els Hamilton was up again, this
time with something Of his old-tinne
nerve dipping and raising to a height
A genuine shout went up I him
that continued throughout the ten
minutes that he flew over the aero
plane hungry crowd.
Again at 702, Hamilton, tired, hot,
and disappointed, gave the townafotk
a chance to see him as others have
seen him. In beautiful circles no flew
over the course for fve minutes, wnhe
the spectators went wild. He then
disappeared for four minutes. When
he came down he said he had flown
over Main street.
His feat of flying when only six or
seven out of eight cylinders were
working is considered a splendid DEM
onsrtation of bravery and skill.
II took unusual risks, yes" said
Hamilton, "but fellow doesn't want
to fail TO make good in his home town.
The dav has been harder on me than
the round trip to philadelphia My
trouble was with my gasoline tank"
