WRIGHT MAKES
Three FLIGHTS
AERoNAuT CIRCLES FORT MYER
GROUNDS AS THOUSANDS
CHEER HIM.

Washington, D. c., July a. Oryille
Wright late yesterday encircled the
Fort Myer drill grounds time after
time in his aeroplane in three success
full flights, while thousands cheered
him.
After the unsuccessful attempts OF
the last two days, the performances
were inspiring. While the machine os-
cillated at certain points, and dipped
and rose suddenly at others, it was
evident from the regularity with which
these things happened that they were
due to the condition of the atmos-
phere and not to any fault of the ma
chine.
Shortly before 6 o'clock the aero
plane was wheeled from the shed TO
the starting track. The damage sus-
tanned in yesterdays flight had been
repaired by splicing new piece to
| the brohen skid.
How the Start Was Made.
After the motor had been tested the
weight which gives the aeroplane its
start was holsted up and all was ready
for a flight The proprellers were
cranked, and Orville turned on the
motor. The screws whirled around a
/ what seemed like greater speed thar
on the previous occasions, and as Or
vile climbed into his seat Wilbur pu
his hand on the right wing ready tt
run along with the machine. Noddint
to his brother, Orville released thu
machine and 1t started down thu
track at rapid rate. AS it neared tn
end of the starting rail Oryille turn

I'd up the forward horizontal rudder

ed up the forward horizontal ruddersI
and the machine rose into the air.
1t was a beautiful start and thej
crowd cheered heartily. Down the field
the aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully
about the lower end and back up the|
east side of the field along the edged
of Arlington cemetery.
Wright was making short turns, but
as he seemed to gain familiarity WITH
the ground over which he was travel
ing, he increased the radius of hiH
trips about the field. The first round
was made in fifty seconds. Five times
the machine skirted the field.
swoops Down to Perfect Landing.
On the sixth round Wright came to]
earth within few hundred feet of thd
starting point, completing the flight iI9
exactly five minutes. The landing waal
perfect. the machine swooping down i
successive glides until within a fel
feet of the earth, when Orville pulleV
the string which stops his motor and
the aeroplane glided smoothly oveI
the grass on its skids until it came to
stop.
The machine was returned to thu
starting apparatus, while the brothers
held a consultation. Again the aero
plane was placed in position and an
other flight essayed. The start was al
successful as the first.
Reaches Height of Forty Feet.
In his last attempt Orville remain
ed aloft for few seconds more thar
nine minutes and encircled the fell
nine and one-half times. For one COM
plete round he few close to TIL
ground, evidently preparing to land
This he did within 200 feet of TIL
aeroplane shed. During this last figh
he went higher than on his previou,
trial, reaching height of forty feet.
