Tests at Fort Myer, Showing
Great Confidence In
Machine

WASHINGTON, July 19-Showins
more confidence in himself than he has
exhibited before this season, Orville
Wright made two successful flights in
the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer this
evening.
The first flight began shortly after
6:30 o'clock and lasted 25 minutes and
is seconds, during which time the avi-
ator circled the parade grounds twen-
ty-fve and half times
The second lasted half an hour and
twenty-nine and half circuits were
made.
The machine behaved splendidly.f In
the 90 minutes it covered approximate
ly 81 miles.
Wright declared it had attained a
speed of Al miles an hour and reached
a height of $50 feet. He said the ma
chine worked smoothly, but was not yet
in perfect condition for the official
flights.
The time OF the trials gradually will
be heightened.

take anything he can carry away.
