 A meeting of the committee of ar engagements for the proposed trip was held yesterday afternoon at the Board of Trade building, and it was shown that much progress had been made the last few days in assuring the sue cess of the excursion. Communica- tiOns have been received from the several towns to be visited, showing that the citizens along the Arizona X California railroad are awaiting with no small interest the coming of the Phoenix trade excursionists.
 Word has been received from Par ker that the business men of that place will accord the travellers a right
 
 breakfast, at which practically every establishment of that town will be represented. In that way the Phoe- nicians will be accorded the oppor- tunity of meeting the representative citizens of Parker and becoming close- ly acquainted
 Wenden will be ready to greet the business men of this city, and it is expected that the train will arrive there. about 10 o'clock, remaining prob ably half an hour. At Vicksburg a stop of about forty-five minutes will be made and then the trip made to Bouse, where it is probable that lunch will be taken. Salome will next be visited, and the visitation will finish at Wickenburg, where dinner will be served by the business men of that enterprisng community. It is expect ed that the cars of the party will be attached to the regular evening train out of Wickenburg, arriving ~ here shortly after 10 o'clock in the even ing.
 AS planned, the trip will take the business man from his store or office but one day, and the good that may

 Appropriate decorations will be af- fixed to the car, so that all may know the import of the special train as it passes through the section and every traveller will wear in the but tonhole of his coat a rose grown in this city, neatly tied with red and yellow ribbons, the colors of Phoenix It is likely that the party will get to- gethcr early in the evening and at tend some local theater, probably the Majestic, and proceed to the train in a body from the theater.
 A round trip rate of $10 has been arranged, which includes sleeping car berth and which is but 70 cents more than the one-way rate. This will cover all the expenses of the party. even to the issuing of a small news paper on the train, which will be dis tributed at the various stations at which stops are made.
