AVIATION PUPIL
 BREAKS 4 RECORD
Lieutenant Lahm Remained in the Air
 Almost a Minute.

College Park. Md. Nov 1.-After Lieutenant Lahm had broken the rec ord today by remaining in the air longer than any of the pupils of the Wright brothers in this country, the proceedings were closed by a brilliant flight of two minutes by Wilbur Wright. during which he made such steep ascents that many of the spec tators feared the machine was about to turn turtle. This was one of Wright's last flights here. as he will leave tomorrow, probably not to re- turn until his presence is especially desired by his pupils.
 Lieutenant Lahm remained in the air this morning 5S1s minutes Late in the day a persistent wind delayed the flights. and it was almost dark when Wright undertook to carry Lieu tenant Commander Sweet on an air voyage. Sweet. tipping the scales at 1S5 pounds. proved a little too much for the machine. Determined not to disappoint the assemblage. Wright took the biplane into the air alone, rapidly rising to a height of seventy-five feet, making short turns and lowering or increasing the elevation in a manner not before seen here.
