ed by Wilbur Wright.

PARIS, September 7.-Leon Delagrange,
president Of the Aviation Club of France.
established new worlds record with his
aeroplane at Issy yesterday morning.
both for length and duration OF flight
NJ. Delagrange remained in the air for
% minutes 81 4-5 seconds. and circled the
field fifteen and a half times, covering a
distance of 24,747 meters. or about 15N
miles. He thus beat the longest flight
previously made, that by Henry Farman
In July. by minutes "a 1-5 seconds. and
exceeded the distance covered by Wilbur
Wright Saturday by about IN miles. The
new records have been accepted officially.
NJ. Delagrange's sensational flight,
which closely approaches the longest un-
official flights claimed by the Wright
brothers In the United States. Is rendered
still more impressive by the fact that
he came down only because the fluid used
for his motor became exhausted. He
carried twenty-four liters In tank and
practically every drop OF 1t was used.
When he cut off the power he came light
ly to the earth. MN. Quinton, Cashier,
Forbier and Malecot and a dozen other
noted aeroplanists witnessed the per-
formance and were enthusiastic in their
acclamations.
NJ. Delagrange Immediately installed a
tank Of thirty liters' capacity. with the
intention of trying for another record,
Out Wnlte preparations were gong on the

the trial. A dead calm prevailed during
the record-breaking flight yesterday, and
NJ. Delagrange plans to make a new ef-
fort today should similar conditions pre-
vail.

bur Wright. the American aeroplanist,
who is conducting a series of flights with
his machine on the field of Auvours, near

by NJ Delagrange's record-breaking aero
plane performances of yesterday and to-
day on the field of Issy. He said to the
Associated Press this morning:
Even if NJ. Delagrange covers fifty
kilometers he cannot fulfill the conditions
required by the Lazare WELLER COM
mittee. according to which he must fly
at an altitude of twelve meters In the
wind at q speed of six meters second.
NJ Delagrange has still to demonstrate
his ability to fly in the wind and travel
at an altitude of twelve meters"
