There was, in fact, an aeroplane ini sight, and it was one that did fine I work. It circled around the capitolj several times and then disappeared. This aeroplane, however, was a Wright machine which the Govern ment has bought and which is being used in practice by officials of the War and Navy Departments at Col lege Park a few miles outside of Washington. The officers in this, ma chine started out to meet Atwood and escort him to Potomac Park. It was learned later that Atwood had stopped at Baltimore and deter minpd to snend the nierht therft and would come over to-day. Early this j morning Atwood arrived st College! Park and was to come on to Wash ington this afternoon, but an accident occurred there to his machine which will require repairs. In this connection, it will be re membered, that two years ago the President of the United States and both Houses of Congress adjourned one afternoon after the other when the tariff bill was under discussion to go to Fort Myer to see a Wright ma- chine circle around over the drill i grounds or t on Myer zor a miie or twro, and that sometimes several af ternoons would pass that the machine would not attempt to go up. Since that time wonderful strides have been made in this remarkable art. About a year ago the whole world wras thrilled with the news that a dar ing aviator had flown successfully across the English Channel. A few days ago nine aviators left France and w ent across the English Channel in a race, all of them arriving on the shore safely; and this remarkable feat did not attract one-hundredth part of the attention as the success ful flight of one machine did a year ago. We are moving so fast that what astonished the world on yesterday be comes a1 matter of common place aj 'j a matter of course to-day. GKY A IlAtSi:.
