is the only machine in the world that
would stand such a bad landing
Throughout, the flight was charac-
teristically a Wright flight. The ma
chine rose so to 100 feet at certain
points, but flew on an average of 40
feet high. When at right angles to
the wind it listed somewhat and there
were undulations which tended to
show that the operator had good con-
troll and was meeting with effect the
puffy gusts OF wind.
There were marked differences in the
manner in which the Curtiss and
Wright machines behaved. Curtiss
flew on an even keel and with less
movement from side to side. The
Wright aeroplane when taking curves
keeled over like an automobile round
ing banked track. 1t also flew some
what faster than the Curtiss machine

plane to see if it had suffered any dam

his rival familiarly and asked him,

ing"
Conditions for flying improved as the
day advanced and a crowd gathered at
the Battery and boats surrounded Gov
ernor's Island in expectation Of further
exhibitions.
After tightening the wires and screws
of his aeroplane and shifting the start
ing rail SO that it faced directly against
the wind, Mr.. Wright made another
light during which he crossed the lower
bay and passed around the statue of
Liberty. He started on his fight at 10.1S
o'clock and finished in six minutes and
30 seconds. Returning from the statue
with the wind behind him he made APP
proximately a speed of so miles an hour.
Coming with the speed of an express
train the aeroplane was only 10 or Is feet
from the ground when it reached the
aerodrome. Amid the cheers of the SOL
,liers guests and newspaper men, Mr..
Wright brought his machine head up to
the wind and made a perfect landing.
