gathered Inside the high picket fence

aay arternoon to catch their first
glimpse of the modern wonder of the

those pickets, massed upon the hills
about the amphitheatre of the grounds.
ana waned, breathless, for the first
sight or the human with wings.
It was not a racetrack crowd that
watched the first man who ever floated
over the tree tops of the Rose City on
the wings of the wind. There was not
the noise, or the chatter and hilarity of
me racetracK days. The wonder of it
all seemed to have taken away the ap
plause and the shouting of the riotous
tumult '
The people stood inilent masses
watching the golden winged machine as
it stood apart at the head of the course.
They studied every movement of the
bronzed fac,ed little man as hh went
over his air craft piece by pl'e a.ij
part by part. And then when lie had
mounted to his place and had touched
nis engine inio me, mousanas or races
followed . the aeroplane as it took Its
graceful running start and soured up
and away among the clouds.
Too Amazed to Cheer.
They did not cheer, those people
landing on the ground, for the iraa
bird soaring above their heads. H-?re
and there a man. or a woman, voiced
short breathed applause, but for the
mqt part the big croiwd stood ' with
craned necks e-nd gaping mouths, fol
lowing the floating wonder as he soared
in ever widening circles;,- Aigher and
higher above the field.
It was a new sight to PoMlatid and
Portland people. They had seon bal
loons and dirigibles and speed maniacs
and common things like thr.t. but this
was something new. It all .seemed un
real, and mythical, a happening of an
other world, or the evidence of the
dawning of an age which is yet to come.
Charles K. Hamilton seemed hardly a
man as he sat in the midst of his maze
of wires and wings. The man was lost '
Sight Of in the wonder at the wonderful I
Invention of man. It was something
that could not be classified. It seomed
like some huge droning beetle from some
distant planet homing through the sky.
And yet it dipped, and circled, rose ami
fell, skimmed the earth and brushed the
clouds like a wide winged hawk at play.
Atroplans Like GulL
'Thosewho have sat by the seashore
and have watched the gulls come and
go, know the action and the motion of
the aeroplane. Those people remember
,that the gull takes a little running start
and spreads its wings and. rising on an
upward4 plane, floats away. They have
watched It as with motionless wings 1t
. has dipped and circled, and glided and
have marveled at the poetry of its mo-
tton as It has settled down to Its footing
'when 'the, flight was over. And then
they have seon the Wrd, as It skimmed
along the earth or sea tilt its wings back
and -come to earth with a little running
stop.

People were trampled under foot as

jection on the flying machine.

ion, asked for the privilege of a trial.
The damage to the machine was prob
ably $60. ' The wheels were mashed and
the tiros etripped. The planes were
torn and some of the cross sticks
broken.
Hamilton said, however, that the
Wemme machine will fly as soon as it
Is adjusted. He was much pleased with
the runway prepared for him. He ex
pects conditions to be better today for
reeord breaking flights than yester
day. as he has become more familiar
with the air currents.

tlful track. Yesterday It was muddy.
But Hamilton flew 100 feet above the
mud. He made one complete circle in
one minute. Some of the spectators
did nut realize that the world's record
for aviation speed was being made.
Then came another thrill. The Cur
tlss biplane had raised again from the
earth. The powerful propeller was mak
ing full speed. Underneath was a man
of tense face, his black hutr blown back
by the wind, but with no eyes save for
the circular course over which he was
driving a Buick car at top Bpeed.
. Exciting Xaoe.
The car gained, then it lost, then it
galnefi. again. The aeroplane was sail
ing, but the throb of its engines kept
time to the pulse of the crowd. The air
ship led. The auto driver advanced his
8Xeed. On a short curve the wheels
slipped, the car rose on one side. The
race seemed near a disastrous termina
tion.
The flying machine was gaining.
Hamilton was making the curves with
perfect ease and accuracy reduced to
Inches PJummer in the Buick kept his
soaPJ swerved, and the car righted. The
race went on.
But there was no further chance for
the auto. The speed supremacy of the
new craft of the air was being pro
nounced in the marvelous rapidity with
which it flew. The tense faced man with
the streaming hair ceased to be the
center of Interest.' The people were ex
claiming that the aviator in his slender
seat, supported with nothing firmer than
the air, could, In .the excitement of the
contest, hold his machine so closely to
the course, with never a quiver or un
calculated move.
Overtakes Pltunmer. .
In the fifth lap Hamilton overtook
Plummet-. Then he palled over the auto
with the perfect ease of a swift-flying
carrier pigeon passlsg a heavy-flapping
crow.
The race was over. Hamilton had
made G rounds of fhe track; Plummer
four. The time was five minutes and
20 seconds. Aeronautic authorities on
the ground asserted that It was the most
wonderful exhibition of close flying and
perfect biplane control the world had
ever seen. And the people who saw
felt that what the authorities said must
be true.
The more Charles K. Hamilton flew, !
the more he seemed to enjoy. In the
beginning one of the cylinders of his
Curtlss enline acted badly; then the
carbureter began skipping. . But he flew.
