Thrilla followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the'
course of the Ingleslde Race Course, on April 24th. In the second and
final day events of the successful meet promoted by the members of
' Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine.
Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfleld, with
His 200 horsepower Bens machine, and C. 0. King, with his Maxwell
80 horsepower stock car. Oldfleld lowered his previous record of one
mile to SI 5-6, which is a new coast record for the circular track.
With the exception of this performance, Oldfleld had to take second
place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat
A - th f mil hftndlmn events, and In both races
King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the
surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and
taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. In
the five mile handicap, Oldfleld drove his Knox racer to the utmost,
but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away
from King. Not only In the handicap events did King and his Max
well prove stars of the first order, but In one of the first events of the
day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was
one of the bestmatches of the meet.
The time for the five mile handicap was as follows: Maxwell,
King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.48.25; Chalmers, West, 4.49.30: Auto
Car , finished fourth, and the Knox car. Barney Oldfleld driving, fifth.
In tlio event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King
and his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time being

AVING become somewhat ac
customed to the daring ex
ploits of the aviators, Charles
K. Hamilton's recent flight
from New York to Philadelphia and
back is taken much as a matter of
course. let it is a notable achieve
ment, worthy to rank with the cross
channel flights of Bleriot and Rolls,
with the Hudson valley voyage of
Glenn Curtlss and the London to Man
chester dash of Louis Paulhgn. , la
fact. In many wsys It is more remark
able than any of these flights, one of
the novel features being that it was
made . throughout practically upon
schedule time. Just as a railroad train
would run. Hamilton covered the dis
tance between his starting point on
Governors ' inland and the landing
place in Philadelphia in about two
hours, without a stop and without a
mishap to the mechanism of bis flier.
He prepared bis own time table, cal
culating carefully the time required
to pass from one point to another
along his route, and adhered to it with
the fidelity of an engineer driving the
locomotive of a limited express.
Less than a year ago Hamilton be
gan doing stunts with aeroplanes,
matins his first filch t In one of these
skimmers of the air on Nov. 28. 1009.
What has brought attention to him In
the past few months has been his pro
pensity to do the unusual with his ma
chines rather than to settle down to
long distance flights.
Prior to his undertaking the trip
through the air to Philadelphia and
back, however. Hamilton made one
long distance trip of fifty-three miles
of which he Is very proud. One day in
January he flew from San Diego, Cal.,
a distance of twenty-six and a halt
miles across the Mexican border and
back again without stopping. Thirty
miles of this trip was over the Pacific
ocean and a large part of it out of
sight of land.
However, it was Hamilton's long
glides through the air that won him
notice. In making these the aviator

calculated his distance while flying
over Lake Washington, at Seattle, sev

water. The surface of the lower planes
broke the force of his fall so effectual

Hamilton prior to the development
of the aeroplane had dabbled with ev

Invented. From the antiquated gas
bag balloon, grown familiar to every
oue. he progressed to the dirigible'

perimented with the kites which im
mediately preceded the aeroplane. With
all of them he Is said to have bad bis

Hamilton has been in his career was
