Lemans, France, Dec. 18.-Wilbur Wright, the American aeroplanist, es tablished a new world's record for heavier-than-air machines today, while trying for the Michelin cup, re maining in the air 1 hour, 53 minutes and 59 seconds. The best previous record is one hour, 31 minutes and 51 seconds, which Mr. Wright made Oc toler 10. The aeronaut attained an average height of 24 feet today and the dis tance was officially measured at 61 1-2 miles, which does not include the wide sweeps and turns during the flight. He descended only because the oil feeder got out of order. Mr. Wright closed a triumphant day by achieving another record, fly ing to a height of 360 feet in a strong wind and winning the Sarthe AeroI club's prize for height. At first it was thought that the violence of the breeze wov". compel Mr. Wright to postpone his efforts but undaunted his machine and circled around and around the field. When soaring at 90 feet a sudden gust of wind caught the areoplane sidewsie, causing it to plunge violently backwards. The spectators were terrified but Mr. Wright remained unperturbed and soon righted his craft. At the end of 10 minutes the wind had moderated and the -aeroplane soared upward and passed high. over a line of captive balloons marking a dis tance of 300 feet. Then it deseeiael and after again circling the f'eld was brought to earth, landing in front of the.shed in which it is housed. !Me Area club tonight gave a ban quet to Mr. Wright in consideration of his victory of today. ~IERMAN DAVIS SUC rpBDS GEN T.

Since ho baa devoted himself assid tously to his business, and to the upbuilding of his beloved State, sarv ing her in peace as devotedly and faithfully as in war. He was devot ed to the cause in which for four years he willingly risked his life, and ever felt and knew that it was the cause of "truth, justice and the Con stitution," and that the principles for which he contended would live for ever in the hearts of a loyal people. He loved the Southland, he loved all his comrades, who had shared with him the hardships and failures, the successes and the glories of the great struggle for constitutional liberty. He was always present at the reunions of those who wore the gray, whether in his own or other States of the South, and was ever one of the lead ing spirits in their deliberations. In his death the State has lost a useful citizen, while, we his comrades in arms, are bereft of a true and loyal friend. II.
