time the Curtiss Exhibition Company was formed to arrange for and manage all   exhibition flying by Curtiss aviators, and Hamilton joined the group.  During July he was flying in the [[ crossed-out]] area of [[crossed out]] New York City area.  In August, friction developed between Hamilton and Curtiss and as a result he left the Curtiss Exhibition Team and started flying a borrowed plane at Mineola while he was having a special Curtiss-type plane built.  This was to have a new 110 [[crossed-out]] H.P. [[crossed-out]] h.p. Vee-8 Christie engine, with which he intended to start flying exhibitions on his own.  This new plane, which he called the "Hamiltonian," was a lot of engine and [[crossed-out]] very [[crossed-out]] little wing, and proved to be very fast for its day.  Starting at once on a tour with it he had a bad smashup at Sacramento, California, on September 9th and was severely cut, bruised, and burned by water from the radiator.  A month later he had the plane flying again at Pasadena, California.  On September 28th, [[crossed-out]] 1910 [[crossed-out]] Hamilton obtained F.A.I Pilot License No. 12 on this [[crossed-out]] Curtiss-type [[crossed-out]] plane.

On October 22nd to 30th he was a contestant at the Belmont Park International Aviation Meet in New York.  This was a large event and Hamilton competed with the top [[crossed-out]] star [[crossed-out]] aviators of the world.  He was still crippled [[crossed-out]] hobbling about somewhat [[crossed-out]] from the crash at Sacramento and having some difficulty in handling and landing his fast tricky machine.  As a result his performance there was, for him, somewhat unspectacular.  John Moissant had brought over a team of European aviators for this event and as a result the Moisant Brothers formed the "International Aviators" to tour the southern states furing the winter months of 1910-1911.  Apparently intrigued by this setup Hamilton joined the group with his Hamiltonian.  Also flying in the group were Americans John Moisant and his sister Matilda, Frisbie, Seymour, and French aviators Barrier, Simon, Garros, and Audemars.  This troupe exhibited at Richmond, Virginia, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tennessee Tupelo, Mississippi, and New Orleans, Louisiana, where Moisant was killed on December 31 [[crossed-out]] st [[crossed-out]], 1910.  During the fall of 1910 Curtiss sued Hamilton for breach of contract and in January, 1911, Curtiss won the suit at Bath, New York.

From January to March, 1911, the International Aviators flew engagements in
