bur Wright and his brother, OrvilIe,
will be presented with gold medals
worth $1,000 each, given by the Aero
Club of America.
1t should be stated that Wilbur
Wright's record, which closed his con-
tract for the sale of his patents of his
aeroplane in France for 100000, was
sufficient to fulfill, as to time of flight,
with passenger, the requirement OF
the United States signal service corps.
which his brother Orville had been
trying to meet at Fort Myer, Va. The
United States war department wants
an aerOplsne which can carry two per-
sons for an hour in still atmosphere
at speed of 40 miles an hour The
requirement of the United States serv-
ice is open to all competitors, and
Oryille Wright had been endeavoring
60 meet them on this side, as his
brother had been endeavoring to meet
the demands of his French contract
Orville Wright hoped to meet the
requirements here on September IT,
when he took Lieut.. Selfridge in a
flight with him. An accident to the
propeller sent the machine shooting
to the earth and resulted in the death
of the army officer and the serious
injury of the inventor.
The Aero Club of France gave Will
bur Wright the Michelin trophy on his
flight of September "a. but he himself
has beaten that record all to smash
on several occasions since then. On
December Is he beat all records in
aviation. In the morning he made a
sensational fight, remaining aloft in
his aeroplane nearly two hours, and
travelling about 40 miles. In the after
noon. the bird man." as the French
have come to call him. rose to and
maintained a height of 500 feet

The station master at Reggie says that imme-
diately after the first shock chasm 80 feet wide
opened in the earth. From this there gusheo
forth food of boiling water, jets rising

first shock The floor of his room fell, and, half
unconscious. he was precipitated into mass of
rubbish. His body lodged in a niche in wall,
and he pinned down by heavy beam, his
face being covered by carpet that threatened to
suffocate him. He managed to move the carpet
with his teeth until he made opening in the
folds through which he could breathe. The man
lay in this position for five hours expecting death
at any moment. Had 1T been possible he says. he
would have committed suicide
The Marquis vincenzo Genoese of Palmi was

shock. 1t seemed as though the house was whirisg

WINS MICHEL|N CUP
WILBUR WRIGHT GETS FIRST
FLYING MACHINE TROPHY.
Fine Piece of Sculpture Called "Trf-
umph of Aviation" Presented by
Aero Club of France to Amer
lean "Bird Man."

New York.-Wilbur Wright, the
American aeroplanist, has been pre-
scented with the Michelin cup by the
Aero club of France for making the
longest aeroplane flight during the
year 1905 The trophy is a handsome
piece of sculpture and is called the
Triumph of Aviation"
The particular flight for which was
Wilbur Wright was awarded the tro-
ply was made on September "a at LIE
Mans, France In this flight Wright
whom the French greeted as a yam
kee buffer but whom they delight to
honor now, sailed his aeroplane against
an 1Smile wind. That was the strong
est wind he had faced. But he re
NAMED up for fraction more than 55
minutes and covered, by official meas
urement, SO kilometers (nearly 25
miles)- This is about half a kilometer
more than Mr.. Wright had made a
few days before in competition for the
Michelin trophy. On September "a he
made really about 35 miles, for the
strong wind forced him to make wide
turns with his aeroplane.
Briefly Wilbur Wright has achieved
these triumphs toward accomplishing
the conquest of the air
He has made the longest flight With
a machine heavier than air.
He has made the highest flight.
The only flight in which the aero
plane carried two men besides this
operator.
The only flight in which a woman
was a passenger-b this is not truly
important nor practical
His aeroplane has arisen solely by
the aid of his own motor; without be
ing given an initial impetus by mans
finger to it.
He has earned 100000, the price for
