Government SENDS
FLAG TO JAMESTOWN.
Great Banner Reached Here Last
Night, and Will Be Floating
Over Island Soon.

A large and very handsome United
States flag arrived in Richmond last
ernment to the Association for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
and within a few days the handsome
banner will be floating over Jamestown
Island OH companion hagpole to the
one on which the big a. r. ". A..
flag now hangs.
The presentation of this flag marks
the end of a rather curious episode.
1t seems that about month ago some
one stole into the grounds Of the AS
ginla Antiquities at jamestown Island
after the gates were closed for the
night. hauled down the AZ 2. ". A..
flag to half-mast, and nailed to the
and cheap United States flag. The
whole appearance on the following.
morning was absurd in the extreme.

the top of a great staff, while the
flowing folds OF the Association for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiquities

the Association for the Preservation
of Virginia Antiquities removed tho
small flag. finding 1t necessary to cut
1t away from the flag staff, SO securely
had 1t been nailed on.
This, I. seemed, constituted tech.
meal violation of the law, although no
indignity was Intended in any way TO
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington, visited the island some
time later, and was informed OF the
Incident. He advised members of the
Association for the Preservation of Viz
ginia Antiquities to take certain steps
| to adjust the matter. and this was
| done, with results satisfactory to all
| parties.
Shortly after this the association re-
quested the government to donate a
! suitable United States flag for James
town Island This request, 1t is said.
! had no connection with the other incl
dent. The association had long desired
