Washington, D. c., June 25.-A
flight by the Wright aeroplane is ex-
pected to take place at Fort Myer, op-
posite Washington, today. The broth

engine, the aeroplane is complete and

The contract price of the Wright
machine if purchased is $4,000 and

plane. it is thought, can be easily com
piled with for they have duplicated
the tests many times abroad so that
the sale is practically a foregone con-
clusion. AS soon as the aeroplane
has been proven satisfactory and ac-
cepted by the government the invent
ors will begin the task of teaching
Lieut.. Lahm and Lieut.. Fulois of the

aerial crafts. These two officers, Uncle
Sans foremost experts in military
aeronautics, will in turn teach their
brother officers.
Meanwhile experiments continue

main objects is to familiarize the en-
listed men of the balloon corps with
