PICKING UP ODDS AND ENDS
The Main Preparation For the Car
 nival Complete.

The odds and ends of ,ha carnival work are being rapidly gathered to- gether by the executive committee and the director general R. Allyn Lewis. and metaphorically speaking. when tn" curtain rises on Monday, the thild annual Phoenix Indian and cowboy carnival will be inaugurated in all it's glory and splendOr and with complete ness of detail. There will be mIuy new features this year, not the least of which will be the queens coroEa~ tion ceremonies. These will be given as before stated, in front of th2 grand stand on a magnificent stage which is now being erected at the corner of Second avenue and Washington street. All of the ceremonials for the ertlre week, free vaudeville shows, cEildrens cake walks and fancy dances. prescn- taitions of prizes, reviews of paSeants, processions, etc, will be on this throne before the queen and her court and the officers of the carnival.
 A very large source of revenue to the carnival will be derived from the sale of season tickets for tEe grand stand. A very original and satisfac- tory plan has been adopted by the commftee of having coupon books with twelve tickets thereIn which can be used by anyone, are tTaasferabl good the entire week to pass in and out of the grand stand as people de- sire. A numbered seat is held for the owner of the book through the entire carnival. Polite and attentive ushers, will take charge of the reservei seat sections. The officers of Lhe car nival and their ladies Will have seats in these sections, and they will be most desirably located.
 The grand stand which will be com menced today will seat 1,36S persons comfortably.
 It will be a model grand stand in every respect and beautifully trimmed and decorated. These books are sold for S2.O0 which covers tlre entire week. Single admission seats, n3t reserved will be 25 cents for each performance. As there will not be less thlE twelve or perhaps fifteen including Larades, pageants, etc., this is a very great re- duction on coupon books. and should meet with a very ready sale at once.
 The Los Angeles Times will have al booth at the carnival and MT. Win Chapin, manager of the art department will be present to take photographs and sketches of the different scenes Of the carnival. Several or the other pa pers will have headquarters here dur ing the carnival.
 There is considerable inquiry in re- gard Ito excursion rates. Chairman M. O. Bicknell of the transportation committee announces the following:
 There will be one fare for the round trip from Fl Paso, Tex, and from all points on the Southern Pacific from New Mexico and Arizona. Tickets to be on sale each day of the carnival with a final limit of December 17th. There will be one fare on the Southern Pacific from all points in Southern California and the intermediate points between Los Angeles and Phoe- nix, with the dates of sale 7th. Sth. 9th of December. The final limit to be December 18th.
 There will be a $500 fare for the round trip from Tucson without guar antee of any special number, which will leave there on Tuesday.
 For the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railway company. General Agent Gillett has reported to the carnival as follows:
 Prescott day will be December 14th, and a $5 rate will be made for the round trip from Prescott to Phoenix and return, with final limit December 17th. There will however be a special train out from Phoenix on Sunday. December 16th, at l p. m., should any desire to leave then. This rate of $5 for that day will apply to stations in- termediate between Prescott and Phoe- nix, and for the accommodation of the passengers to save them from being the night on the road according to the way the trains run now, there will be run a special train leaving Prescott at D. m.. December 14th, reaching Phoe- nix at o'clock. Returning, this same train will leave Phoenix at 1 D. m. and reach Prescott at p. m. This gives the people a daylight ride and avoids the necessity of paying a Pullman fare or remaining in the coaches during the night. The Santa Fe has also made a rate of $40 for the round trip fare from all Colorado points.
