ORVILLE WRIGHT MAKES THREE SUCCESSFUL FLIGHTS

The start was as successful as the
first. In the second flight Orville
made much wider turns and rose to
a greater height. Wilbur Wright
watched every detail Of the fight
with care.
1t was noticed that at times the
motor skipped, but this seemed to
have no effect on the progress of the
aeroplane. The starting rail runs
downward into little hollow in the
field and whenever the aeroplane
passed over this hollow it dipped no.
ticeably and whenever it passed over
vacant space between two of the
stables, it was seen to rise as though
on billow of air, but these atmos-
pheric conditions were easily over
come by the clever manipulation Of
the levers. On his second fight, Or
vile made nine rounds Of the field in
few seconds less than eight min
utes.
In his last attempt he remained
aloft for few seconds more than
nine minutes and encircled the field
nine and one half times. For one
complete round he few very close to;
the ground, evidently preparing to
land. This he did within two hum
dred feet of the aeroplane shed. Dur
ing this last fight he went highef
than on his previous trials, reaching
height Of forty feet. Just before
making his landing the left wing
scraped the ground and raised q
cloud Of dust, but Mr.. Wright con-
tinued to fly half way around the
hald hefora descendino.
