inspectors "sassed" one another bacl

months The critics and public were
agreed that il was one Of the funniest
entertainments Chicago had been
privileged 10 see in many years, and,
pleasant thing to record. the laughs
which run through the three acts like
a prairie fire are never caused by
word or deed in the least bit offensive

FLIES TO PHILADELPHIA
WITH EXPRESS SPEED
Charles X. Hamilton Covers SO
Miles from New York in
Less than Two Hours.
RACES FAST RAILWAY TRAIN.
Speed of Forty-six Miles an Hour
on the Westward Voyage Is
Made with Ease.

Charles K Hamilton, the young avi-
ator who has achieved worldwide fame
in less than year, at Philadelphia
Monday made the most daring flight of
his career, travelling in his biplane
from Governors Island, n. Y, to a
point at the outskirts of Philadelphia.
a distance of eighty-six miles, in li3
minutes, unofficial time.
Hamilton flew over Tascony, sub
urb, five and three-fifths miles from
the start, at 1879. At 33.46 he passed
over Cornwells, eleven and one-half
miles from the start. He crossed the
Delaware River and passed over Penn
ton, twenty-seven miles from the start,
at 1906 p. m, sailing over the tracks
about 400 feet. The atmosphere had
cleared and he was plainly visible to
the crowd below. The special train
passed through Trenton at 1911 p. m.
five minutes behind the aviator.
Hamilton passed a points mile
west of Philadelphia, fifty-one and one
half miles from the start, at 1924.
Train and flying machine were travel
ing together To catch up with Ham
ilton the train is said to have been run
seventy-five miles an hour between
Trenton and Monmouth junction. The
round-trip distance is the longest city
to-city flight ever made by an aviato :,
exceeding the record flights of Curtiss
and Paulhan. The speed of the flight
was at an average of 1:19 mile, o.
about forty-six miles an hour.
A feature of the wonderful achieve
ment was the. ease with which the
aviator followed a train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad running at high
speed. According to his program, he
flew from Governors Island to South
Elizabeth, n. J., where the train was
awaiting his appearance. From that
point, town after town along the line
reported that the train had passed with
Hamilton flying directly over 1t. At
Princeton he went near the old college
town, so that students and graduates
gathered there for commencement week
might have chance to see him.

Reports from Arkansas, Mississippi
