Startling Exalts of the Aviator on Hempstead Plains P..0ST SPECTACULAR FLIGHTS Mad His Asroplan Wheel and Dip , Like a SwallowDaring Dive P,t Another Maehin In Flight How Ha Played Trlok With a Horse, a Dog and a Man. - --; ' - Charles E. Hamilton, tb aviator, wltb bla aeroplan did almost every, thing except tarn somersaults In the air over tb aviation field at Hemp. stead Plains, near Mlneola, N. X., late' tbe other afternoon. For about forty minutes this lightweight aviator, who tips the scales at 110 pounds, perform ed caper that caused women to wave their handkerchiefs and men to take off their bats. " .' While Hamilton was the star of the occasion, both Captain Thomas a Baldwin and Joseph Seymour made flights. At timet the three machines were doing stunts over different parts of tbe coarse, and tb counter attrac tions proved almost aa diverting as a three ring circus. Seymour, was tbe first to start At S o'clock with bis yellow filer be made two good circles of tbe track. It was 5:40 before the Hamilton machln was properly tuned up and ready for tbe air, Hamilton pulled off bis flying toggery, monnted the seat and posed for a photograph. Then he braced his feet and took a short run and was off for a joy ride. The trim little racer darted to an alti tude of fifty or sixty feet and then gradually arose blgber and higher un til the altitude was estimated at more tban 500 feet. , Hamilton swung bis machine around tbe course with the grace of a swallow, -and passed over tbe aerodrome, making a dive of about 200 feet and causing ' the crowd to scatter In fear. He suddenly made an upward sweep to an altitude of sev eral hundred feet and turned In the direction of Garden City. He wheeled bla machine and flew to tb center of tbe field and executed a spectacular glide to th ground. , ' ;' Soared High In th Air. Both Mrs. H. M. Beudette, toother of Mr. Hamilton, and the aviator's wife saw bis exhibitions in an aero plane. - ' '-; , Tbe fuel tank waa refilled, and Ham ilton prepared for another . flight "Now be Is going to do something big." said Mrs. Hamilton, with pride, as be resumed his seat In the' machine, and, sure enough, be did. He flew to a height estimated at from 800 to 1.0QO feet and made dives to within fifteen or twenty feet of the ground. This time he remained aloft 83 minutes and 0 seconds, covering ' a distance of twenty-five miles. He circled over the Nassau courthouse, then, turned ' In the direction of Garden City and flew over a church spire and then paid bis respects to Meadowbrook. He disap peared from view -and attempted a flight across the sound, but presently In the distance 'a speck waa visible against tbe sky, and jt grew . larger and . larger as tbe machine winged Its way back to the flying field. A Wild cheer broke from the crowd as the mechanical bird soared overhead. Then Hamilton proceeded to give an exhibition of fancy flying. He made Circle after circle of tbe coursevary lng bis altitude from 800 to 13 feet One be flew so low a to put a dog to fright and again be mude a dip over the Baldwin aeroplane, , which was In flight that caused tbe spec tators to hold their breath. In making one of his fantastic dlres over a group of - persons - wbo . were - watching bis maneuvers th machine tilted In a fashion that caused some lively scur rying. Edgerton Wlnthrop, wbo was n horseback, didn't Waste any time getting out of the way. . . Hamilton caught bis balance and be gan playing bide and seek over th buildings and telegraph wires. .Ho ended his aerial whirl with a glide of 200 or 800 feet, and tbe machine settled on; Its three . wheels with tbe grace of a bird alighting on Its feet. . Played Antios With s Hors. ' Tbe day before Hamilton also made some startling flights. He saw n horse In a neighboring field, 'and a spirit of mischief seized blm. He swooped down toward the horse is an eagle would make for a victim.' The horse cavorted, snorted -and tried to run. Hamilton came within almost' kicking distance of tbe animal, then ffeered up ward, made a circle la the air and ' again made for the horse. He played wltb tbe horse as a cat would with a mouse. Then be shot toward the plains again, and a man wbo was watching, wide eyed and Open mouthed, attract ed blm. ' He bore his machln down on tbtf man at a fifty mile pace,' Tbe man ducked; then he "ran. Hamilton 'played tag wltb blm .until "tbe. mart stood still. Wltb a lough Hamilton rose toward (he clouds. , Once he roso to A height of 000 feet. His machine suddenly tipped almost straight, pointed to tbe earth and with !ts propeller's force added to the nat ural speed of gravity shot downward. The spectators held their breath. They expected to see Hauilltou aud bis aero plane crushed, Klfty .feet from the ground tbe flier changed bis course, ana the machine baited, turned and moved slowly away on a perfect keel, - and Tar pomptly. lt loosens the cough, soothes and hegli the Inflamed air passages, and expels the cold from the system.
