first grass cutting.
One day Charles K. Hamilton had his machine out in

horsepower motor. 1t had just been installed and
Hamilton did the risk of sending his aeroplane
down the field Instead he had his mechanics hold it
steady, and he spent hour running the engine at
various speeds how it answered and how the
chine stood the vibration.
Meanwhile the builder of the monoplane had
taken his big bird down the field for tryout Up and
back he flew, making short jumps, and seemingly having
the greatest kind of success. Down he went
and then back; but this last time he did not shut off
his motor in time and cry of horror went up from the
