Honors American Aviators.
DISTINGUISHED MEN PRESENT
Banquet at Institution of civil En-
gineers by Sir Hiram
Maxim and n lumber of
Army Officers.

LONDON, May 4-There was a demon
stration of enthusiasm, remarkable In its
character, at the Institution of Civil Engi-
neers tonight when the AeronauticaI So
ciety of Great Britain conferred on Wilbur
ana Orville Wright. the ae]roplanists OF
Dayton, o., its first gold medal. Those who
had gathered at the institution to witness
the presentation cheered and applauded
repeatedly, while the Wright brothers
blushingly bore their honors through an
hour of the warmost eulogies. The assem-
blage rose and gave three cheers for each
Of the brothers They sang For They Are
Jolly Good Fellows and ended by cheer
ing Miss Katherine Wright.
Sir Hiram Maxim, Lieutenant General
Baden-Powcll, Captain Il. 5. Cody, an
American who is struggling hut thus far
unsuccessfully to perfect his aeroplane for
the British army and a large number Of
scientists and women were present.
Speeches were made b. Major f..
s. Baden-Powell. Colonel j.. +. Capper, the
War offices aeronautlcal expert who re-
fcrred to the Wright brothers as "un-
spoiled, as though they were nobodies, D"
and declared that the nation which failed
to keep pace with the flying developments
might get badly left in war, and the
chairman of the gathering, Edward Purkis
Frcst, who presented the medal.
Both Wilbur and Orville Wright made
brief speeches tersely expressing their
thanks. a reception was then held and the
brothers were surrounded, questioned and
besiegcd for autographs. Earlier In the
evening they were given a dinner at the
Ritz hotel by the ~Aeronautical society.
They were the guests at luncheon of the
leading aeronauticaI experts, including
seven Englishmcn who had accompanied
them in different flights In France.
The War office Is not likely to conclude
arrangements with the inventors until their
aeroplane has been given a trial in Eng
land In the presence of experts, Engage
ments in the United States and Germany,
however. preclude the possibility Of the
Messrs. Wright being able to attend to
this personally for some months, but they
made arrangements with a builder
here for the construction OF machines and
have appointed al agent for Great Britain.
Their patents, therefore, will be probated
and they expect to sell privately, even II
the government does not purchase.
