AL neduqudTteTS SCoAen were given rooms yesterday, but there are vet many rooms available. and those not provided for at hotels should apply promptly at aviation headquar- ters on Washington street. near First avenue, in the Fleming block.

 Concerning the failure of Curtiss to come. little explanation is due Pro- moter Bernard, Nat Reiss and the Phoenix Aero club. All are as inno- cent as babies of any foreknowledge of the event and regret it more than can any visitor who will see just as good show anyhow This explana- tion is given only to show that all have tried to keep faith with the peo pie. Reiss returned yesterday morn ing from Fl Paso. where he met Ber- nard. Tuesday. Arriving there from San Antonio. Bernard received a wait ing telegram from Fanchilla, Curtiss genera manager. dated the 9th, two days before. asking that the Phoenix show be put off day on account of trouble they were having. Bernard and Reiss figured that Curtiss was merely delayed and afraid he would not get here on time and was then probably on the way. They wired at ...- Bernard left for Albuquerque and Reiss for Phoenix At Lordsburg the latter received wire from Phoenix Tuesday night and from Bowie wired to Bernard at Albuquerque, so he did not know the facts until yesterday President McDeugaIl said yesterday that he had. no doubt that all condi- tions would be satisfactorily adjusted with Bernard when he arrives. The show is going ahead any way..and will be just as good. or better. for the aviators here will do eyerythingNp Npossi- ble to entertain the people. It is not of record that any aeroplane show anywhere has failed to satisfy. and this will be made of d high order Hamilton and Willard will do extra stunts for that very reason, and Ham, ilton. guarantees that the crowd will be entertained. Regarding the con- tract with Bernard. for the single purpose of demonstrating to possible critics who might think Curtiss had not originally been contracted for. the contract the club has in black and white will be published as an evi- dence of good faith, after Bernard ar rives. II would be nanifestly unfair
