northwesterly winds Of course no one doubt that Gen Jame Allen eklef of the Signal Oorpe would recoinmobd to the Secretary of War that an extension of time to the Wrights be granted tout no one doubts either that the Wright wont ask any for an extension or anyttUns else un- ¬ less they are forced to do so Official Tort Orville Upright may maps an official test tomorrow He has never said when he will attempt to comply with the remaining clauses of his contract but since he has only two days loft it is safe to suppose that he will do some- ¬ thing tomorrow Ony 090 day is abso- ¬ lutely necessary to complete the con tract in Mr Wrights opinion but for fear of the vagaries of Mr Moores summer brand It opportunity comes along in happy dress Monday she w to find around Fort Myer at the rear end of an aero ¬ plane The slid broken at the canetosien of red with last nlKhfa ill tht wfll b ease The machine should be quite pre- ¬ ventable by tomorrow afternoon or even before that time if the brothers desire The course of the distance flight often miles without doubt will be from Fort Myer to Shooters Hill near Alexandria The War Department is read for Mr Wright to get up and say anytime now and all he to do to one to notify General Avon tak with him and set out down the Po ¬ tomac the department Providence and the motor being ready to attend to another details

Last Flight The flight loot night was remarkable chiefly for the uwgwardofl statement Ok

Wilbur Orville went up gracefully as ever a few mlnntes before 7 oclock He bucked into a choppy wind that made his flyer dip like a catboat and several of his turns were more than ordinarily thril- ¬ ling Everythteg praeeeded with smootu ness however and after about twenty minutes continuous performance when Brother Wilbur waved his bat Orville ame down In doing so he gave every ne of the 3000 present a chance to see own particular throat if the lump in was working He started earthward at express train speed making a few and then darting straight toward the parade ground The machine lit so hard that one of the skids snapped She was going some said Making about fortyseven miles aa hour he said later me for an aeroplane Which is going probably as fast as one ever has gone is some for Wilbur possibly as far as be has ever gone
