Washington, June 22-Despite the

this country and abroad, TO comply
with the government specifications.

Orville Wright. who has elected to

If less than sc miles Is made, the

in the speed trial A 10 per cent
bonus will be paid for each mile above
forty.
The rough, hllly country surround

trial must he made. is causing Orville
Wright some uneasiness. No cross
country flight over an uneven country
has ever been made by a heavier than
air flying machine.
The vagarles OF the air must also
be taken into consideration. A clump

an air current upwards, that may do

spect successful. The dowager queen,
