BLERIOT'S SUCCESS
PLEASES WRIGHTS

Washington, July 25.-On the eve
OF making an aeroplane flight involv
ing as great, II not greater dangers
than Bleriot risked in crossing the
English channel early today, Oryille
Wright expressed great pleasure when
he learned of the success of the
Frenchman
That 1t was a personal triumph for
Bleriot, however, rather than an indi
cation of the advancement In the art of
flying. was WTight's Idea of signif-
cameo of the accomplishment.
He spoke admiringly of Bleriot,
saying that he was one of the most
daring Of all aviators. Mr. Wright Is
familiar with the Bleriot monoplane
which, he said. is of the Antoinette
type used by Hubert Latham. but ante
dates the latter's form OF construo
ton.
The announcement of the success
OF the Wright brothers several years
ago stirred the French aeronauts to
unusual effort. 1t is said. and while
some suggested that the type of his
plane used by the Wrights should be
developed by Frenchmen. others de-
sired to evolve a successful heavier
than-air machine from a distinctly
French idea The penaud monoplane.

describe the short circles which
Wright made yesterday. The Wrights
are loath 10 discuss the comparative
merits of their work and and the
aeroplanes of others. They take great
pride in their own machine and believe
that 1t surpasses all others.
II Is said that Orville Wright him
self had expected to make the channel
flight last fall, but was unable to do
so on account of the accident at Fort
Myer in September
The country between Fort Myer and
Shutters Hill, near Alexandria, over
which Orville will make his official
speed trial, Is very rough, some OF
the heights ESQ TO 300 feet high. The
distance TO be covered is five miles

The wind was blowing about twenty
