WRlGHTS SPURRED ON
 TO MORE SEVERE TESTS.

Indianapolis. Ind.-The aero men who are gathered here from all parts of the country believe the Wrights have realized that their pres tige has suffered through the recent feats of Paulhan. Curtiss and Hamil- ton, and that they are determined to put their pupils through more difficult maneuvers.
 Four of the six pupils of the Wrights made dozen flights. Most of these were of short duration, but the pilots of the trimly built aeroplanes exhib- ited wonderful control over the ma- chimes in sudden dives and ascents, and turning amazingly sharp corners. And then without warning came the great flight of Walter A. Brookins. who set new worlds record for altitude in soaring above the earth at distance of 4,3S412 feet. Brook ins has been studying flight but two months, and his preceptors say he will be as we'll known as Paulhan or Hamilton before the year ends.
