Ing. but the chances are that wash
ingtonians. who have been on the alert
for week to get a glimpse of the
daring aviator. will not see him exc
cute his promised aerial stunts over
tho capital for several days.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
Atwood smashed the wright Burgess
machine at College Park, in which
he had intended to fly over Washing
ton this evening. Charles X Hamilton,
in whose aeroplane the young Bos-
tonian flew from Atlantic City to the
capital Is opposed to having his ma
chine used in an exhibition flight over
the city. Unless the army aeroplanc at
College Park is placed at Atwood's
disposal he will be without means of
carrying out his promise TO circle the
Capitol and the Monument
The bad luck which has followed in
Atwood's wake since he arrived at At
lantic City July was IN evidence
again this morning. The aviator made
a spectacular flight from Baltimore
to College Park at an average alti-
tude of 1000 feet. but several hours
later. when he attempted to mount in
the Wright Burgess machine the aero
plane behaved like a broncho and got
beyond his control. 1t plunged to the
ground and was so badly damaged
that w. Startling Burgess, who Wit
messed the accident. decided To send
1t back to his factory and order an
entirely new machine for delivery to
the government.
Trip to City Abandoned.
All hope for a flight over the city
this afternoon was not abandoned until
Hamilton declared that he was opposed
to r'skins his aeroplane in .uch an I'M
certain undertaking. Besides. Hamilton
is expected to return to Atlantic City
to conduct exhibition flights.
Atwood. according to a statement
made by him this afternoon. will re
main in Washington fully week. He
expects the new Wright Burgess ma
chine within two or three days at the
most. Just as soon as he gets 1t in
running order. he gays. he will give
Washingtonians series of flights
which will more than repay them for
their long wait.
Atwood and Hamilton. after arriving
at College Park this morning, came
into the city and registered at the New
Willard, Later they returned to the
army aviation field. where at 1921
o'clock Atwood tried out the Wright
Burgess machine.
Shortly after noon the two aviators,
