down at the far end of the field, where the strange
contraption stood. 1t was not at all the graceful

like gigantic matchbox with rows of great match

There was a stir among the people lining the
field and burst of applause A slender man of
medium height was striding across the field He
dressed in the typical bicycling outfit of that
rather tight-htting coat that buttoned high,
a cap that fitted closely to his head and which he
wore at rather a jaunty angle, as 1 recall. His
trousers closely bound to his legs by bicycle
clamps. 1t was quite natural for Orville Wright to
have chosen cycling clothes as his flying suit, for
he and his brother owned bicycle repair shop in
Dayton where they developed their plane and did
their preliminary experimentation prior to their
first fight in 1908 at Kitty Hawk, N. c.

minutes the sound of the motor could be heard

We opened the door, and he said abruptly,

given me his usual kiss of greeting, nor Hilary the
