for three mlnutea For the finai test
no invited Reichel Of Fiear' TO accom-
pany him and remained In the air for
nearly an hour.
The last half Of the long fight was
accomplished In darkness, only the noise
OF the motor making Il possible TO follow
tho aeroplane, since the small crescent
moon hardly showed the machine even
wben Il was near the spectators.
The speed OF the machine with pas
sengsr was oflcially announced as s7.s'
miles an hour. making the distance
travelled we'll over the afty kilometers
demanded by the Lasare-weiler contract

those who heartily congratulated Mr..
Wright upon his achievement. The crowd

LoNpoN, Oct. S.--"What In Mr.. Wright
trying to do?' asks the Ttmsss corre-
pondent at I4e Mans, and he seems unable
to find q satisfactory answer. He goes
on TO say that thousands flock to Auvoirs
daily. arriving on foot, by bicycles and
motors, and also by six or seven special
trains which run every day. Sometimes
they sea hight. sometimes they don't.
Some Of the correspondents 60 hunting
while waiting for the flights. -
There win be trouble some day. says the
TiWes man, when q big waiting crowd
flnds that II has again wasted lite time and
labor. The Timss correspondent ad-
mite that Mr.. Wright is perfectly entitled
TO fly only when he feels like II and ex-
presses admiration for his detachment
from the grosser instincts or business
man and his indifference to the feelings
and expectations Of q public whom he does
not invite 10 see his work. but he pleads
In - plaintive strain that 1even Wright
cannot afford any moro than those whom
hia achievements an with admiration to
i1nore indefinitely the facts Of the earth.
on which after all he spends most Of his
time
It seems from the correspondents
story that public feeling at Auvours has
been stirred In extraordinary fashion.
and the place has become mecca Of
enthusiastic crowds.' II seems i'm
possible TO get Wilbur Wright to take the
slightest interest in the daily disappoint-
ment Of the multiudes. but the local COM
mittee. says the Times correspondent,
has at last realized that this Ii not play
Ing the game and win In future give
notice when Mr.. Wright has definitely
decided not to fly.

Washington. who arrived yesterday by
the steamship La Lorraine. said that the
French people were pleased with the sue
Gee Of the'wrieht brothers flying machine
and that the pleasure was unmarried by
envy. It was true that Capt Renards
diriKible balloon came first but 1t was
not to be compared to the aeroplaneI
I'VE realize.' n Jusseraud said, that
the wonderful feats Of the aeroplane are
due to Wilbur Wright, and We are sports
men enough to give him the credit
