LIZ MANS, Sept. 21.-ProftlnG by q
break in the weather Wilbur Wright
took his aeroplane out Of tho shed on
the Plain Of Auvours at $40 O'Clock this
evening and established another worlds
record by flying for 1 hour 81 minutes
rs As seconds. The flight was Witnessed
by the American Ambassador. Henry
White, and 10000 spectators. who went
wild with enthusiasm over the magnificent
performance.
1t appeared ut first that the wind.
which was blowing In ftful gusts. would
make anything like q lengthy flight Inn
possible. Wright tried three times to
start the machine. but each time 1t failed
to rise. Finally he changed Its direction.
and then IL scared gracefully. 4.
1t glided round and round the field In
wide circles. rising and falling, somo-
times being more than fifty feet high and
again only twenty-five. Sometimes tt
became lost to view in the evening mist.
As night closed In the temperature
became chilly. Wright found 1t diff
cult to manipulate the lsvcfs and. fearing
an accident to the machine. he descended
gracefully. He was Immediately r
rounded by a crowd Of friends. Ambas-
sador White shook him warmly by the
hand. Wright. his face beaming. said:
Il am glad / did SO we'll. because It Will
cheer up my poor brother and show to
the world that his accident was not duo
TO any error In the principle Of the ma
chine we constructed. but TO fortuitous
causes to which tho most expert are
liable
The official timekeeper OF the Aero
Club then announced in a stentorian voice
that tho duration OF the flight was 1 hour
81 minutes rs As seconds, and that the
distance covered was 90 kilometers 600
meters, or almost exactly forty-two miles.
The announcement was greeted with q
great shout by the spectators.
II was explained that n Of the condi-
tions for winning the Micffelin and Avia,
ton Commission prizes was that the
flight must be executed before sunset.
and that therefore only 50 minutes 0
seconds of wnght's performance could
be counted. 1t Is hardly probable. how
ever, that any other aeroplanist will
cover before September 30 a greater DIS
lance than Wright did to-day.
This date is the time axed for the win
ming of the aviation commissions prize.
Wright may accordingly be said to be
assured OF II. Nevertheless he will at
tempt another flight tomorrow, -trying
to start earlier. He expects to remain in
the air two hours, thus making absolutely

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2i.-Slow progress
toward recovery is being made by orville
Wright, the aviator who was 30 severely
hurt In the wreck Of his a%eroplane last
week. He was nervous and restive to-day
and slept very little. Poet Surgeon Capt.
Howard Bailey says Mr.. Wnght's general
condition is satisf actory. No visitors
were permitted to see the MANNED aero
naut, although several persons had made
arrangements to visit him. DR.. Bailey
said MIR. Wright was suffering great pain
and 1t would retard his recovery II he
should be disturbed by persons desiring
to talk with him. Mr.. Wright slig htiy
lost ground to-day. but It is believed n
nights resi- will help him greatly.
Miss Katherine Wright. his sister. was
evidently alarmed over his condition.
She did not leave the sick. oom until
9 o'clock this evening. At that time she
said her brother had become somewhat
o~uieter, but was still suffering from his
broken bones and complaining Of being
unable to breathe freely.
The slightly u~nfavorable turn in Wright's
condition IL thought to be due to the fact
that the death Of Lieut.. Selfridge has
unnerved him and is proving on his mind.
After he declared he felt sure Lieut.. Sell
fridge was dead Mr.. Wright was told the
truth, that the young officer expired OF the
night the aeroplane collapsed.
Mechanics Taylor and Furness to-day
took the wrecked aeroplape apart and
will ship the unbroken pieres to Dayton.

Of spruce and the right wing tip Of the
