AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Triumph of the Wrights.
Paris, August 10,
The aeroplane, which was recently sold to the French Government by the Wright Bros., of America, flew 2,500 metres, at a height of 30 feet, in 105 seconds, at Take Remans.
The airship was quite under control, circling easily and was kept flying for hours.
There is enthusiasm in France over the success of the machine.
Press reports declare that the aeroplane displayed remarkable birdlike qualities in soaring, skimming, and turning. Experts describe it as a revelation in aerial flight.
