FAR WILBUR WRIGHT
ItKMAI.VH IX AIU 1 HOl'IL OS
MINUTES AXI> 50 SECONDS.
LE MANS, Frante Dec. 18.—Wil
bur Wright, the American aeroiilan-
lat, eatabllabed a new world's record
for heavler-than-air machines to
day while trying for the Mlchclin
cap, remaining In the air one honr,
S3 minutes and B9 seconds. The
beat previous record la one hour, 31
mlnulea and SI seconds, which Mr.
Wright made October 10.
Tho aeronaut obtained nn aver
age height of 24 feet today and
the distance was officially measured
at, til 1-2 miles, which does not In
clude the wido sweeps and turns
made during the flight. He ‘de
scended only because the oil feed
er got out of order.
And Still Another He cord.
Mr. Wright closed a triumphant
day by achieving another record,
flying to a height of 360 feet In a
strong wind and wl.tnmg the Sarthe
Aero Club’s prlio for height. At
first it was thought that the vio
lence of tho breexe would compel
Mr. Wright to postpone his effort,
but. undaunted, he launched bis,
machine and circled around and
around the.field. When soaring at
90 feet a sudden gust of wind
caught the aeroplane sidewise,
causing It to plunge violently back
wards. The spectators were terri
fied, but Mr. Wright remained 'un
perturbed and soon righted his
craft.
Aviator Is Danqnrtted.
At the end of ten minutes tho
wind had moderated and tho aero
plane soared upward and passed high
over a line of captive balloons
marking a distance of three hun
dred feet. Then It descended and
after again circling the Hold, was
brought to earth, landing In front
of the shed in which It Is housed.
The Aero Club tonight gave a ban
quet to Mr. Wright In celebration OT
his victory of today.

marched them back to the alley and
