ADVERSE WINDS
At FORT MYER
0rviIIe Wright Prevented From
Making Endurance Test
President Taft Present.


Washington, July 26.-Orville Wright
made a two and a half-mile flight un-
der adverse conditions with his aero
plane at Fort Myer this evening. The
occasion. by reason Of the presence Of
President Taft and a brilliant assem-
bIage of Washington official life, bore
an air more social than aeronautic.
Everybody had expected Wright to
make the first of his official sO-called
endurance tests" of an hour in the air
with d passenger. The last time he at
tempted this feat. only ten months ago,
it cost the life of Lieutenant Selfridge
of the signal corps.
A stiff wind caused postpOnement Of
the expected trial, and all that Wright
attempted was a brief flight without a
passenger.
With President Taft, Speaker Cannon
and Senator AIdrich looking on, the ma
chine was trundled to the foot of the
starting derrick, in the center Of the
drill field, and poised on the mOnOrail
preparatory to the start.
The spectators cheered loudly as the
white machine rose slowly in the air
and again as it swerved, and the top
tilted to an angie of nearly 45 degrees at
the north end of the field. Three times
the machine was taken around the field,
the planes seemingly assuming a more
dangerous angle at each turn, and with
a sharp sWeTve was brought into the
wind and carefully landed.

gade of $500 men and the Madrid mixed
