WRIGHT, KING OF THE AIR.
President Congratulates The Aiiators
After the First Crucial Test
Success.
WASHINGTON, July 28. — The
world's aeroplane recoiil for two-men,
as to both time and distance, was
broken last evening, in a beautifu'i
flight of one hour, 12 minutes and 4t
seconds—upwards of 50 miles and at
a speed averaging about 40 miles an
hour, by Orville Wright at Fort My-
er, with Lieut. Frank P. Lahm of the
army signal sorps as passenger.
The former lecoifl was made last
year by his bro.her Wilbur, joint in-
ventor with him of the machine in
which both achievements were per-
formed at Lemans, France,, with Prof.
Painleve of the French institute as
nine minutes and thirty-one seconds,
passenger. That flight was one hour,
Wilbur was an eager spectator of
this flight of his brother. The
cheering which heralded the making
of a new mark in the conquest of the
air, was led by President Taft,who was
an intensely interested spectator
throughout the flight, and who insisted
at Its conclusion upon personally con-
gratulating the brothers upon their
success.
