WRIGHT FLIES IN CIRCLE

Gets Around Army Aerodrome In 17:3-S Seconds—Performance a Record. College Park, Md., Oct. 12.—Wilbur Wright traveled around a circle of about 850 feet in 17:3-5 seconds. While he did not assert that he had broken any particular record, he did say that the best previous time for a circle was close to one minute. At times Wright tilted over his bt plane until it seemed to make an angle with the ground of close to forty-five degrees.
