Continued from paze 25S, 



soared around beside her brother for seven minutes. Before she 

 would venture, however, the Comtesse de Lambert went for a 

 (ive-mirnne trip. Miss Wright made another voyage on the 23d. 



Perhaps our readers may care to know that, 

 when the Wright Brothers were making their 

 fitst experiments out in that pasture-lot near Day- 

 ton, it was my privilege to take this same Miss 

 Wright on a little trip around the lot with the 

 little Olds mobile that is giving Mrs. Root and 

 me so much enjoyment down here in Florida. 

 At that early date I believe I had more faith in 

 the ultimate outcome of their experiments than 

 the old father, the sister, or even the two broth- 

 ers themselves; and you can imagine, therefore, 

 how it rejoices my heart to learn I was not far 

 out of the way about it. Read the following: 



Both Tissandier and Count Lambert quickly picked up the 

 knack of steering. For a few days they held the levers for the 

 straight runs, and Wright manipulated the curves. Later Wright 

 became the passenger throughout long runs. Tissandier says 

 that driving is the most fascinating sport he has ever tried. 



By the 16th, Orville was well enough to begin sleeping at the 

 shed and to superintend the building of the new machine with 

 which speed is to be obtained. Wilbur now describes his pres- 

 ent machine as " a slow.old thing suitable only for teaching." 



On the 24th, Orville got into the air for the first time since his 

 accident. With his sister he went up in the balloon Icarus with 

 the Marquis de Kergarion. 



In honor of their work for aviation both Wilbur and Orville 

 have been made Doctors of Technical Science by the Technical 

 High School of Munich. 



Fifteen Wright aeroplanes have been sold during the month 

 by M. Michel Clemenceau. 



The popular fashion in Paris just now is the " Wright cap " 



Bleriot has been dividing his time between watching Wilbur 

 Wright and making skimming flights of about 600 meters in his 

 small fast racer Bleriot XI.
