have thrown whole handful OF
silver and notes into the trampled
grass, saying, Give 1t to my wife"

MINEOLA, l.. l., Aug. 3.-While
the Wrights have been testing and
retesting their machine at Fort
Myer a young man here has been
making flights nearly every day
In an aeroplane which may soon
become powerful rival of the ma

He Is Glenn H. Curtiss of HAM

While the Wrights at Washing

size of the field at Fort Myer, Cur
tiss was flying at Morris Park, N.
Y, amid surroundings that would
have made the Wrights shudder.
At Fort Myer I saw the soldiers
remove three telephone poles, on
the edge of the field, at the order
of the Wrights, and cut down
scores of small trees that lined the
testing ground. heard the
Wrights continually complain
about the size of the field.
But at Morris Park l saw Cur
tiss In his aeroplane sail over
fences and sheds, past flagpoles,
trees and posts. The great grand
stand did not daunt him, and when
he approached 1t he dipped down
below its roof 30 that every per-
son there seated might view him
and his machine as they swept
through space. At this particular
moment, on one side of him was a
high, two story judges stand, sur
mounted by flag pole. On his
right was the grandstand. Below
him ran two high fences and be-
fore him was a mass of high trees,
surrounding a-shed.
So perfectly was his flyer under
control that he moved in and out
between the distractions, dart
ing about like fire fly.
