as mementoes, . which appeared to be
a riot. ' '
As the aviator; stepped' from his
machine and lighted a cigarette,,, he
was surrounded by the crowd. . Only
the formalities of presenting the mes
sages he carried prevented the en
thusiasts from, carrying him around
toe nem on ueirBnouMers.
When he. drew: near the landing
place at Front street and. Erie Ave
nue," Hamilton' circled several times
around the house tops in the nelgb
borhood to show, how perfectly un
der control was his machine.
It was this last tour that account
ed for at least a part of the four min
utes over his schedule Lime.
"All through the flight." he said,
Ion landing,. "the plane was under as
perfect control as when I sailed over
the house tops."
In the Aviation Field and on the
streets about there were fully 75,000
people by the time he came to earth.
Hamilton was greeted by Governor
Stuart, who was there to give him a
message to be carried on the return
trip. The governor grasped the avia
tor's hand and congratulated him
warmly.
"It was easy," said Hamilton. "I
came through nicely without any
trouble and will start on my return
trip at 11 o'clock."
One hundred and fifty thousand
eyes were strained toward the north'
eastern sky when, at about 9:15
o'clock, a dim shape became visible
through the haze. A ripple of a
cheer started that grew into a thun
derous outburst as the shape took
form into what appeared to be a huge
bird.
Nearer and nearer the aviator ap
proached and the ' cheers of the
watchers grew louder. As he loom
ed directly over their heads and
sank gracefully to the landing place,
a roar of congratulation greeted him
.During his flight Hamilton main
tained an average height of about 300
feet, a distance a little lower than
the face of the clock in the city hall
tower.

chartered to accompany him.
' The . first leg of the round trip
journey is 86 miles long. Before he
went up, Hamilton said: "I'll keep
to my schedule, v if the present
weather outlook holds good,' and
that will get me to Philadelphia at
9:25 a. in. an hour and fifty min
utes for 86 miles. Not bad, eh?
Had I been able to get away at 7,
I'd probably have landed before ?."
Hamilton was the guest last, night
of Lieutenant V:"M. Elmore, at the
latter's quarters on Governor's Is
land. Up at dawn today, he. receiv
ed his final supplies from a launch
sent out from Manhattan at 6:30 a.
m. This launch bore a message from
Mayor Gaynor to be carried to Mayor
Reyburn ,of Philadelphia, as well as
a message from the New York Times
to the .Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The flight was arranged by those
two papers. : : ' :: (
Brigadier General Walter Howe,
commanding the department of the
east, through whose courtesy Hamil
ton was enabled to start from Gover
nor's Island, was among the first out
to witness the final preparations and
wish the aviator good luck. 1 ' :'
"It couldn;t be better, said Ham
ilton, as he looked over the weather
prospects. At that 'hour there seem
ed prospects of a hot day, but the air
was moist. "That Is well," he said,
"for the moisture will make the afp
support the planes better." 1
He appeaAd elated as he tuned
up his motor and looked 'over the
machine for the last time. From -it
was hung the silk peace flag pre
sented to him last week by the de
partment of ensigns and insignia of
the league of peace. Of white silk,
24x18 Inches,' the flag haa for a cen
ter, the stars and stripes. - .,.. .
Hamilton set out today on the-first
round trip flight between two cities,
either in America; or Europe, with
the intention of making four records.
These were: ; . :''' -r: ';;y
A round-trip inter-city flight of
200 miles or more.' '. ' '

stipulated places.; . '
To follow a time table as closely
drawn up as if the aeroplane were a
train. " '..;.,;,.; tr..:. : 4"
To make- a continuous flight on
the return of -124 miles. .
Hitherto all bla fllehts' have been
made with the plane pointed in one
direction. It is this feature of a re
turn trip which has, mde today's at
tempt the most noteworthy .of recent
lights, not excepting, according to
aviation experts, Glenn H. Curtlss'
150 miles flight down the Hudsbn
valley from Albany to New York. ,
The attention of the army men at
Governor's Island was centered prin
cipally, however, on .f a 1 "b at

ilton started from Governor's Island
at 7:86, his time table through to

When he left New York' the avia
tor had, not definitely decided on the
extent, of his return trip.i Up till last
night be planned to fly up the Hud
son on reaching "New York again, as
far as Grant's Tomb, at 123rd street
afebut nine miles from Governor's
Island.' ". . ": 1:. ..
This morning he declared that if
all was well he would extend the trip
to Yonkers, ted miles farther, mak
ing., a river trip all told of thirty-
eight miles after he touched New
York territory, but before landing.
"It depends on the condition of the
machine and the fuel supply," . ne
said, "for the most part. I am not
much afraid of the weather. I want
to do this because, I will then break
the 124 miles record made by Louis
Paulhah in the first leg of his $50,-
000 London- to Manchester flight,
where the total distance was 186
miles. . The country over which my
route is laid out today 4s more dif
ficult than the territory of that -Brit
ish flight and the total distance is
greater. I'm out for the record."
The distance between the starting
and the, landing fields is 86 miles.
From Governor's Island to Yonkers
la nineteen miles. By touching the
latter point on the. return, Hamilton
covers in the first' leg 86 miles and
in the last 124, a total of 210.
As Hamilton shot "up to a height
of 800 feet over the New York bay
and the Kill Vori Kull, at times ris
ing higher and again sinking, two
women at Elizabeth strained anxious
ly to get a glimpse of the white cloth
that bore him.- They were his mother
and-his wife.
They were on the special train of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, f which,
with steam up, was waiting to fol
low the aviator. : v . -:'
Along the top of one of the three
cars was laid a strip of white can
vas; 80 feet long by 26, inches wide.
This was placed there that the man
bird might pick up the train all the
easier. , The flight of Glenn H.' Cur
tlss 'from Albany to New York show
ed the difficulty of an aviator's fal
lowing an ordinary train. Hamilton
announced before starting that he
would try to keep the train 500 yards
in front of him. "
