a few minutes and landed easily
Wright followed two hours after
wards and remained in the air seven
minutes. On the second flight he re-
NAMED in the air six and one-half
minutes, sweeping over the bay and
circled the Statue of Liberty. In all
the flights Wright showed better
speed than Curtiss. though Cur
tiss's machine retained its equilibrium
better.
