Made a Twenty.Mile Spin In the Air
This Morning Which Was a
Great Triumph For
Him.
THOUSANDS CHEERED
RED THREE TORPEDO BOATS
Heishth Varied From 40 to 400 Feet
and Was Made For the Bene-
fit Of the Spec
tators.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Cheered by
countless thousands that crowded the
Battery and lined both shores OF the
Hudson and receiving whistle sa.
lutte from the hundreds of boats, Will
bur Wright today flew from Cover
nor's Island, up the Hudson to 10th
street, circled and returned to the is
land, achieving one of his greatest tri-
umpas. The distance was about 90
miles and the flight which began at
9:53 lasted exactly 33 minutes and 33
seconds. The trip up the river was
made along the New York side where
Wright said he found the wind strong.
1t was this fact that prevented him
from circling Grants tomb. Instead
he circled above the river and headed
on the return trip along the New Jer-
sey side His height varied from 40
to 400 feet At the outset he flew at
a low heigath as the tall buildings
along the down town section, created
strong air currents and uncertain
draughts which made it unsafe to fly
at a great height unless he went too
high for the people to see him. "And
! wanted the people to get a good
view of the machine" he said
The machine settled as gracefully an
a bird and Wright sepped out, the hap
piest man on the island. 'It was q
good flight and / am glad the people
liked It," he said. Their cheers were
music to me and even the shrieking o.
the whistles along the river, sounded
sweet" Wright will make an officia
flight between and 4 this afternoon
He must remain aloft an hour anc
cover ten miles in any direction ne
chooses in order to win the Fulton
Hudson prize. He was confident al
ter his morning flight that he woule
have no trouble in meeting the require
ments. Wrights flight was witnessed
BY thousands of sailors who crowded
the decks of the warships in the rive
and sent up rousing cheers. Th'
flight took in all the foreign ships ant
the American jackies also saw him.
