 Flights today were made impossible on account of an 1s-miie wind, which gave way to steady rain In the af. ternoon After waiting for several hours for the wind to fall Wright crossed to the city from the island and obtained a canoe to attach to the ander part of his machine as safe guard against sinking if the aeropiane should aiight on the water.
 The Curtiss flyer is q counterpart of the machine Curtiss used In his re- cent record making flights at Rheims and Brescia but 1t is equipped with four cylinder water cooled motor in- stead of the eight cylinder motor used abroad. Curtiss will arrive here early tomorrow and will go directly to Gov ernors Island. If weather conditions are right he may make flight before 10 o'clock.
 Wilbur Wright was not very san guine tonight over the outlook for to- morrow.
 Tt looks to me ss though this weather will continue for day or two" he said. If I was to take the machine out in this rain II would be weighted down with the dampness In a. very short time"

The performance Is novel-- musical comedy tn twenty minutes An energetic chorus of six. good to look upon, and a Cohan .esaue young man, make up the east of the diminu- tive show.

 The acrobatics. without which vaude- vile Is not vaudeville, are furnished by the Booth Trio Of Cyclists, The three of them a man and a girl as part ners. and a funny man, perform diffl- cult stunts that aroused, last night. the house to applause from the first. With a bit more practice. their bill will be as finished as any of the acrobatic turns on the Southern vaudeville stage.
 Sam Rowley .the comedian with the big voice." as he was billed, gives evi dence of a humor that was fresh and spontaneous.

 Doris Donner. a good looking young woman in an act of her own, as sing ing comedienne. displays versatil- ity that is appreciated. ..e There are two musical acts, one that of a solo violinist. and the other of two eccentric musicians. The first is that of Owanda. a young woman who displays a pleasing skill and command of her instrument, and the second that of the Musical LeMoines. The two L4e. Moines have been in this part of the world before. but their work was ap- preciated none the less last night Their imitation of a Chinese theateT and of a menagerie, while lacking In tune, was pleasing because of that very unusual absence of all tune.
 The opening of the vaudeville season came in the old Majestic Theatre. on Commerce Street ,as the removal to the new quarters on Bibb Street is de. layed by non-completion of the new house Through this week the old house will be occupied, ana the remod- cling of the old Bijou win be complet" ed in time for next weeks show.

On the first stages of his journey, he said he took ten Eskimos with him and might have had twenty for the asking. Eight of these turned back reserving Ftukishuk and Ahweelah. with twenty-six dogs and two sledges for the last dash.

 The lantern slide with which the lecture was illustrated, pr. Cook was careful to explain were taken, some of them by John R. Bradley. his back CT. in the early stages of the journey and still others on previous expedi- tions. but all the northernmost pic lures were of his own taking. They add conviction to his description Of the surprising smoothness of the ice.

Madrid. Sept. 27.-The War office today announced the complete success of the maneuvers in Morocco against the Moors. Both Nador and Zeluan have been occupied. At the latter town there was bloody fighting with large bodies of Moors.
 The ring around Mount Guruga Is now considered almost closed, and the position of the Moors is desperate Kafd Amas appeared before General Marina, the commander of the Span- ish forces yesterday, and asked terms of surrender for the tribes entrenched on Mount Guruga.
