"An Roads Lead to Richmond. Oc-
tober 6-7-8."
Such is the inscription in white let
ters on a black background of a
twenty foot banner, suspended 800
feet in the air. seat up this morning
by the Fall Festival association, by
the means of a Conyne aeroplane.
The inscription can easily be read
from a distance of four or five miles.
The banner will remain suspended in
the air until after the festival.
Beginning next Saturday night,
when the searchlights will be installed
the lights will be thrown on the ban
ner at frequent intervals. It will be
more easily read when the search
light is turned on it than in the day
time and it is expected that the dis
tance at which the inscription can be
read will be several miles. The light
blue sky, and especially when the
sun shone brightly, prevented the
inscription being made out at a great
distance today.
