GETTING TIPS FOR TEDDY! AEROPLANE IS WRECKED WRIGHT TRIES NEW METHOD OF DESCENT AT LE MANS. Frame of Machine Torn—Accident Follows Some Remarkable Flights. Le Mans. France. — The Wright aeroplane suffered an accident Thurs day which will require several days and possibly a week to repair. After two superb flights Wilbur Wright essayed a new and daring method of descent. He stopped the motor at a height of 75 feet and tried to come to earth on a gradual de scending glide. The calculations were not absolutely correct and the left wing of the aeroplane came in contact with the ground This tore the frame of the machine. Mr. Wright was not injured. Mr. Wright said he did not regard tlie accident as serious, and explained that these were only incidentai ex periences devoted to acquiring com plete mastery of the difficulties of avi tation and the execution of new maneuvers. Mr. Wright's first flight Thursday eclipsed all his former efforts. Ke made seven complete tours of the field over the tops of the trees. According to the official time he was in the air eight minutes and 53 seconds. The aeroplanist was incommoded by a 15 mile breeze, but in spite of this he showed greater facility in maneuver ing than he did when there was a dead calm. His landing was easy and suc cessful in every wav. Mr. Wright’s second flight, which lasted two minutes, was a novel one. The aeroplanist soared and descended at will, executing bewildering turns. Suddenly, as viewed from the grand stand, the machine lost its speed and began curving slowly toward the earth. All appeared to be going well until it was tilted to leeward and the delicate frame-work struck the ground, with the result that it was damaged and torn. Mr. Wright calmly stepped out and examined the wreck. He was quickly surrounded by auxious friends, to whom he explained that there had been no accident in the air. but thai he had merely decided to try a new descent. He shut off the^niotor at a height cf 75 feet and endeavored to float downward. DISASTER IN FRENCH NAVY. Six Men Killed on Gunnery School Ship Couronne.
