Under the clear skies and unhampered by the
moderate west winds which the government fore
caster predicts for to-day it is expected that VII
bur Wright and Glenn II. CuTtss will attempt 10
carry out their contract with the Hudson Fulton
Celebration Commission and make their official
airship flights. Under the Of their contracts
the aviators must travel least ten miles and
must stay IN the air at least sixty minutes They
have until next Monday in which 10 fulfil their
agreement. and Will pEObaby take chances OF
unfavorable weather II conditions to-day are AT ali
propitiOus.
Just what course Tie conqueTors Of the air will
take Ia their flights has not been determined. The
most favorable course 20 undoubtedly a continue
uOn Of the one taken by Wright on Tuesday when
he ciTcled the Statue Of Liberty. which would mean
that the machines would maneuvre the .Ier-
sey meadows. 1t Is considered unlikely that either
Wright or Curtiss will sail out Long Island
or directly over Manhattan. the latter course be-
Ing the most dangerous that could be selected.
Probably the course which will be taken II con
ditions are just right 01l be over the East River
and the bridges, across the upper end Of Manhat-

BATTLE ABBEY A CERTAINTY,
$4,000 Appropriated For Site At
Monument Ave. And Addison
Street.

RichmoDd.-The Confederate Me-
mortal Association will soon pur-
chase a site for Battle Abbey, the
popular designation OF the Confed-
crate Memorial Institute. An APP
preparation of $4,000 for this pur-
pose has just been made by the city's
Common Council.
The southeast corner of Monument
Avenue and Addison Street has been
selected as the location.
Under the resolution making the
appropriation 1t is provided that the
building shall be erected within three
years, and If when erected, 1t be
not perpetually maintained as a Con-
federate memorial the lot shall re-
vert to the city OF Richmond.
In choosing the location the asso-
citation has contrived to bring about
an even more pronounced grouping
OF Confederate memorials. To eth
er side of the proposed building rise
the monuments to Jefferson Davis
and Robert Il. Lee and but one block
away stands the Jefferson Davis me-
