UeCI0eQ upon.
Aviator Bumbaugh will make his
daily ascensions, during the Fall F'esti-
val, October 67-8. from some point in
the south part Of Richmond, according
to the decision reached at the meeting
of the executive committee OF the Fail
Festival association last evening. Mr..
Bumbaugh was expected over from In
dianap0lis this afternoon and he, with
members of the committee, were to Wis
1t different points of advantage in the
south part of the city, from where he
might make his daily flights.
The south side gets the big attraction
Of the festival because it Is due them.
Last year the merchants Of that part
of the city contributed freely to the as
sociation and did not receive a cent of
benefit from the festival, because there
were no attractions in that part of the
city. Not word of complaint was
registered this year by the South End
merchants. when they contributed
literally, and they did not ask for any
attractions either. The executive
committee was much pleased with the
spirit OF these merchants and decided
to reward them in tho best possible
way. The street car company wanted
the attraction at Glen Miller park.
Other Aerial Features.
Other aerial features OF the festival
were considered. Advertising ban
ners, ~ we'll as large Fall Festival
announcement, will be sent thousand
or more feet In the air, from which
point they may be seen for a distance
Of ten to fifteen miles, it is believed
The banners will be very large. At
night the search light will be turned
on them at intervals and the banners
may be read then as well as in the day
time. It Is probable that Mr. Bum
baugh will bring q gas balloon with
him on which he will put large ban
ner Box kites will be used from
which to suspend the banners.
The location Of the different displays
have been partially decided on. The
flower show will be held at the Pyth-
Ian temple; the cattle display at Elev-
enth and Main streets; dogs and poul-
try, at S24 Main street; corn, vegeta-
bles, fruits. grains and the like at the
South A street market house and hogs
at South Fifth and A streets. It may
be necessary to change the location of
some Of these displays later.
Secure Good Judges.
The question of securing judges for
the different displays was considered.
Talent. equal to that employed by the
state fair association. will be secured
Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue Universi-
ty. who Is head Of the corn department
and last year conducted the Sixth Dis
trict corn school at Centerville, will
be present, in all probability He
will Judge the corn and possibly some
o1 the other displays. w. w. Coles,
Of Kokomo has been engaged to act as
Judge Of the amateur and professional
exhibits at the flower show. Other
Judges will be announced as soon as
the pending arrangements with them
are completed.
The cattle and hog displays will RI
val those Of the state fair in excellence
while possibly not so large In numbers.
Many q fine dairy herd, or the best
specimens Of the herds, will be sent by
farmers living within radius Of 35 to
- miles Of the city. Last year Short
horn cattle and one or two Jerseys
were the only classes exhibited, but
this year nearly every variety known
will be shown. The display OF porkers
at South Fifth and A street will be
very large and possibly additional
space will have to be secured for their
display, according to present indica-
tions.
Hard TO Secure Quarters.
Thomas Butler. chairman Of the COM
mittee In charge Of the horses is expo
riencing the same difficulty as last
year In the securing of suitable quart
ers for the horses. The large livery
harm on Main street and the east end
market lot will be used for horse sta
bles. but even this large space promis-
es to be insufficient. The horses will
be displayed on the street, the maojri-
ty on North Tenth street. between
Main and A. streets, as last year.
A number Of novelties, such as canes,
toy balloons. feather busters. masQues,
COUOeUACk O0lASs IACAlcIO &uO the Ilk0,
which will be Of particular value on
Mardi Gras night, will be sold by the
association.
AZ 70 Decorations.
The matter Of decorations was con-
sidered last evening and the plans for
the decoration OF the coliseum for the
press banquet, and the decoration OF
the streets. was reviewed. The street
decorations will be practically the
same a. last year. However. the COLI
scum will look like millionaire's wife
