th, was made twenty-eight years before
the French aviator brought his machine to Australia which was on 2nd
November, 1910, or two weeks before his successful flight.

Subsequently Mr. Hammond flew over the city. He remarked: "I was to
early for breakfast, and just thirty years too late to claim E. W.
Cole's prize of L1,000."

I believe that the advance of flying machines will be so rapid that
within the next decade they will be used with as much ease and safety
as any other means of present locomotion.

I will further state that their utility will be so great as to enable
China, with her three hundred millions, to succeed in taking correct
statistics.

And eventually the velocity with which they will fly may materially
assist in establishing the peace of the world and the Parliament of
Man.

My prophecy with regard to flying machines was made in 1868, and the
bonus of L1,000 (see previous page) was offered in 1882.

Mr. Hawker was born at Brighton, Victoria, on 22nd January, 1889. He
went to England in 1911, returning to Victoria in 1914, after three
years experience of aviation in England. He just missed the L5000
prize given by the "Daily Mail" for a flight around the British
Isles, meeting with an accident off the coast of Ireland.
