MR. BREWER'S REPLY.

Mr. Brewer, in his reply, says his critics do not deny one of his state. ments of the changes made when building the Hammoudsport machine, but merely dispute his conclusions, He makes a critical examination of each of the communications, and in Home cases' is able to quota con- tradictory statements. Dr. Walcott, he says, touches the runt of the argu- ment when he claims the hops made by the machine as "flights," because the official observer whom he appoint- ed acknowledged that they were not really fights, because there was not sufficient propeller thrust.

On the contrary, Lord Northclifie alluded to the at the printed report states that "the tempts to rob the Wright brothers of aeroplane as it stands to-day (1914) is the holour, and added: "I have the

This be answers as follows-The same other purpose which, far from Dr. Walcott calls on Mr. Brewer to principle of the proof is this: from the helping the Hammondsport machine recognise the statement of Manly and short fights of an overloaded and less to fly, acted rather as a handicap.

By all means let Dr. Walcott, Dr. Zahm, and Mr. Manly believe that Langley's machine would have flown if merely fitted with floats, handicapped with added weight, and with a skilled aviator in Mr. Manly's place. But they must stop there, and not say that the Langley machine has been flown, merely on the strength of their alleged belief that it could fly.
