Even after his overwhelming defeat
by Harrison In that year, he was by
far the leading aspirant in the con-

nominated had not two thirds rule been
re-enacted in order to defeat him. Lat

had been defeated by combination Of

and Mr.. Wright did not arrive at the
field until after O'Clock. At E
o'clock Mr.. Wright announced that
he: was ready.
care you going to try to break the
record which you made yesterday -
he was asked. "No,' he replied, "I
am going up just for little practice.
I may make a flight Of ten minutes in
order to determine at what rate of

The acroplanc rose from the
ground almost Immediately after lcav-

tinued to climb higher with each sue

reached an altitude of rs feet. For
the first 80 rounds the machine flew
as, smoothly as on it's previous flights,
but from that time on It was seen
to pitch at the turns as the stiffening
breeze from the west struck. it. As
tho machine moved from the northern
end of the field to the southern end,
where the "aero- -garge' for storing
the acroplane is located, Mr.. Wright
kept it several points in the wind. A
gust of wind unusually strong struck
the aerial flyer during the 42d round
and it plunged sharply. Mr.. Wright
then brought his machine lower, but
in the SD round he had reached an
altitude of 200 feet. Mr.. Wright
came down at the northern end Of the
field at the end of the 5Sth round,

It's more sport than flying in a calm

tering Of the machine. I kept much
higher than usual on account of the

Signal corps officers of the war de-
partment today expressed tho belief
that Orvillc Wright will make speed
of at least forty-two miles an hour
with his heavier than air machine,
which did such excellent work at Fort
Myer yesterday. If he does make
fortv-two miles an hour he will be
entitled to bonus Of 90 per cent

net him for his machine $50 1000, the
contract price being $4,000. The Of
tlcal trials will be held as soon as
