wealthy young English amateur alrman,
in 1910. He was a nephew of the late
William r. Grace former Mayor OF New
York.
Grace. who had become an expert air
man, crossed the channel from England
to France In December. 1910. He started
on return flight on December 20 OF that
year and was never heard of afterward
II was said that part OF his machine and
his cap were found near Ostend, but his
body was never recovered, and on March
81 the Probate Court declared him legally
dead and issued letters OF administrat ton
on his property. which was valued at
SIS. 900.
Hamel. who recently announced that he
would attempt to fly across the Atlantic
for the Daily Mail prize of $4,000 was
the most intrepid and popular OF all the
British aviators. He was the friend OF
royalty and took May society people In
his aeroplane as passengers
Winston Churchill the First Lord of
mo Admiralty. went on several flights
with him. and II was only recently that
there was a report, which MIR. Churchill
afterward denied, that the First Lord had
looped the loop with Harrel over Sheer
ness harbov.
Hamel was the first English aviator to
repeat the upside down flying introduced
by Pegoud. the French airman. He was
also the first aviator to attempt to carry
the mail by the air route. and q few
years ago was popularity known as POST
man Hamei. He also distinguished HIM
self by taking the first woman passenger

BEACHEY FLIES FROM
A CYCLONE OF KISSES
Aviator Is Forced to Charge
Crowd in Machine to Dodge
Enthusiastic Women.

lincoln Beachey was nearly mobbed
yesterday at the conclusion OF his upside
down flying at Brighton Beach. Women
wanted to kiss him-two OF them did
men wanted to shake his hand and con-
graduate him. others Just pushed In to
stare.
Beachey ran from his machine through
the crowd OF admirers to the clubhouse,
lodging a kiss hero and hand
shake there The crowd closed In
on him and Il was with difficulty
that he got inside. Then they peered
when the shades were drawn.
Yesterdays performance concluded
Beachey's three day exhibition at the
brighton Beach racetTack. where he has
been looping. flying upside down and
racing with Barney Oldfeld's Fiat Cy-
clone Beachey's machine was boxed last
night and loaded on a train for Ogdens-
burg. n. Y. He flies there to-day.
Beachey has the reputation OF being the
one tiier who never d!sappolnts a crowd.
He does his stunts with the regularity of
a circus performer. four days a week at a
certain time each day. rain. shine or
cyclone.
His looping was poor yesterday, that is,
poor for Beachey. He side slipped at the
top of nearly every loop. but It was more
sensational and the crowd liked II better.
The feature yesterday was the race
with O1dheld. The automobile won by not
more than two feet In sc s-5 seconds for
the mile Beachey finished no, more than
twenty feet above Oldhelds head. In n
time trial yesterday. oldfield sent his Fiat
Cyclone around in 40 3-6 seconds. the
fastest time he has made during the three
