AS dusk gathered over the old Dom
iaguez ranch last night four flying ma
chimes that had been circlfng in the
air sailed to earth. The aViators- walk-
ed to their tents, the great crowd filed
down the roadway, and the frs. inter
national aviation meet ever held in
America was over. .ts
n Hamilton's .NIishap.f
Few knew that one man had been near
death in those last few minutes Chas.
K. Hamilton was returning from a 10
mile flight toward the ocean. When
a mile from the aviation field the crank
shaft of his machine snapped. No one
in the crowd Aoticed anything wrong.
Hamilton shut off his engine and so
leveled and swayed his planes. that he
slvas waited gently downward, touching
with scarcely thud. 1t was bril-
liant piece of emergency handling.
sCurtiss and Paulhan. rivals of=sthe
meet, furnished the excitement for the
closing day. Paulhan went up at 3:25
o'clock for an endurance flight. After
he had gone two or three laps of the.
course Curtiss started on a 10-Iap speed
trial, half lap, or more than three
fourths of a mile, behind Paulhan. In
stantly it was seen a great race was
cn-the first real race of the meet. The
two aeroplanes came over the grand
stand with the speed of express trains
with Curtiss gaining. He crept swiftly
on Paulhan'S heels and on the third
flying above. The F'reEchman for few
seconds held his own. then the Ameri-
can forged ahead a length and finally
half a lap.
1t was no race after that. The Amer
lean machine was demonstrated as the
faster beyond question Paulhan went
on until he had travelled 64.4 miles and
had been in the air nearly an hour
and half Curtiss came down after
a 30-mile trip.
rxir ~ MI e-tN, Of
the meet The Curtiss machines have
won all the prizes for speed, quick
starts, perfect landing. and those
events where a light. swift machine
showed best. Paulhan has won all the
CrosS-cOuntry, passenger carrying and
endurance tests having a heavier slow
er machine and engine which he
trusts absolutely. Paulhan has taken
more than $4,000 in prizes and has bro
ken the worlds record for altitude and
for cross-countrS flights alone and with
passenger. Curtiss has broken no
worlds records and probably will take
less than $1,000 in prizes.
Hamilton and Willard have taken sec
end and third prizes in most events.
