|FLIGHT ON MONDAY PROBABLE
THAT'S THE BEST TIP ABOUT
THE WRIGHT MACHINE
Not From the Aviators Themselves
However, But the Army Ex-
perts Are Saying So.

After another day OF hard work and
motor tinkering the engine of the Wright
aeroplane at Fort Myer was about In
shape last night. and the weary aerial
squad went home with the tolerablo as
surance that flight would be made Mons
day, though whether in the early morn4
ing or late afternoon 1t was impossibla
to say. The starting derrick was put uu
at the north end of the drill ground. and
the army officers OF the squad went so
far as to say that flight Monday "waa
probable" This is further than they
have committed themselves yet The
Wrights. however, have not yet said that
they would fly Monday. So far as has
been observed. they never do say that
they will do anything till after they have
done 1t. Jimmy" Hare. the globe-trot-
ting dean of the Photographic corps, de-
clared that they would not even say
that they would take drink after they
had poured it out. But then the Wrights
never drink anything except water, SO the
remark probably was In the nature OF
metaphor.
One thing that is pleasing the army
officers about the preparations for tha
coming flights is the interest that MEM
bers of Congress are displaying in them.
The army naturally wants an aerial ap-
preparation, but Congress has so Tar
proved very Indifferent on the subject.
This year, however, all the members OF
the appropriation committees OF both
houses have signified their intention OF
seeing the trials. and 1t is stated that tho
Senate will adjourn on the day of one OF
the official trials and most OF the mem.
bers will go to Fort Myer.
The expressed intention Of the President
to witness one or both Of the official
trials has had something to do with the
interest that is being displayed 1t Is be-
lieved that the winter session OF Congress
will see a substantial appropriation foE
aeronautics included In the army appros
priatiou bill.
