WRIGHT IN AERIAL THRILLER

Btops Motor and Comes to Earth After Manner of Bird. College Park. Md.. Oct. 26.—Right over the heads of a few hundred spectators, Wilbur Wright stopped the engine of this aeroplane and, 150 feet above the ground, allowed the machine tp navigate ‘‘under sail” only. Slowly the machine settled to the earth, its wings standing straight out, like those of a bird alighting. A moment later Wright stepped upon solid ground a thousand feet from the shed above which he had shut off his motor.
