The Introduction of New Incidents
 During the Week.
 Yesterday a radical change was maie in the programme for the foot ball games for today and tomorrow This was found to be absolutely necessary in order to accommodate the people from Prescott, who will not arrive on their excursion until this afternoon For that reason the game today will be between the Tucson and the Indian school teams, the scene of the Strug- gle for supremacy being the city rail- way park, instead of Lightburne plaza. The time scheduled in the official pro- gramme will hold good today, namely l o'clock. The game on Wednesday will be called at 3 o'clock and will be preceded by the burlesque base ball game of the Elks at Pratt park. We'd nesday's foot ball will be played by the Monarchs of Phoenix and the Pres colt team. The young men composing this organization will accompany the excursion Tuesday and will bring with them a host of industrious root CTS" One admission fee to the grand stand will suffice for both games on the two days
 R. E. Wells. general manager of the s. F., P. & P, sent President McCowan of the carnival association the follow ing telegram yesterday: T sincerely hope that your untiring efforts to make the carnival a success may meet with due appreciation on the part of the good people of Arizona. We expect to bring a good contingent from Prescott, reaching Phoenix about D. m. tomor- TOW, Tuesday,"
 Some dissatisfaction was created yes terday through an erroneous impress sion regarding the base ball game at the city railway or Pratt park The event was advertised to be free to the public. This part of the arrangement was perfectly correct but did not apply to the grand stand, to which an admit tance fee of twenty-five cents was charged. Some people did not under stand this and labored under the inn pression that they were being rob bed" The ball game was conducted under the auspices of the carnival as- sociation, who also had charge of the same throughout. The carnival assoc iation therefore was in the right they contended, in charging admission to the grand stand. General ad- mission to the park is free to everybody. but those who wish to oc- cupy the grand stand will have to pay the usual fee for the privilege.
 Special attention is called to the pro gramme for today beginning with the miners drilling contest at 10:30 o'clock at Lightburne plaza. A goodly number of entries have been made for the con- tests. which will be superintended by J. F. Bark. Foot ball at the Pratt park at 1 o'clock and base ball at 2:30 o'clock. Minstrels at the court house plaza from 1 to 1:3O o'clock and minstrels again at the city hall | plaza from 1:30 to o'clock form in teresting features for the afternoon. | The evening programme is an eXcep- ! tiOnally good one. A band concert is to | be held early in the evening. followed | at o'clock by the dancing carnival | The Apaches, among others, will give | a realistic war dance and will endeavor | to eclipse the Pima Indians. There is | a strong rivalry between these tribes. | which is the lingering relic of savage | warfare in times past. The Indian | dances. therefore. will be more than usually interesting. A genuine cake | walk will be put on the stage and will | be something worth seeing. Those en- gazing in this popular feature of the i are professionals and | will outshine anything else in Arizona.
 The Chinese band is billed to appear at the court house plaza on Wednes- day afternoon from 1 to 1:30 o'clock. Don't forget to see and hear this in teresting feature of Wednesdays pro- gramme.
 The carnival management was some what embarra ssed last night by the fewness of the arc lights on Light burne plaza. The electric light com pany was able, to begin with, to give the plaza only three lights. These would have been few enough but to make matters worse, one of the three lights was disabled during the day, so that there was a decided insuffi ciency of illumination at the evening
