Lemans, France.-Tucsday evening
Wilbur Wright of Dayton, Ohio, made
the longest and most successful flight

he Is conducting here, remaining In
the air 3:44. The machine circled the
field three times at the rate Of thirty
six miles an hour. On passing the
grand stand Wright gracefully de-
scended until within speaking dis
taLce Of the spectators. who wildly
applauded his exhibition Of mastery
over the aeroplane. after which he
scared like bird to new heights and
col tinued his flight until reaching the
starting point, where he finally gently
landed.
The aeroplane scared down the
course and then abruptly, almost
recklessly. swoOLed and turned and
cane majestically down the field. fol-
lowing the lines OF trees, after which
1t returned to the front OF the grand
stand. With admirable ease and pre-
cision. the aeroplane here descended
to lower level. seemingly to drop the
spectators polite aerial courtesy.
Then II rose again and resumed Its
trip. ascending zig-zags here and there
until II completed three circles of the
course. Finally IL came to the ground
at the starting point and Wright again
was received with applause. There
was scarcely a vistage of breeze while
the flight was taking place.
AS evidence of the interest that Is
being tayen in Wright's experiments,
crowd of 5000 persons. including
many women. patiently waited
throughout the day until he should de
eide TO take out his machine for a sail.
