M. C. MDOUGALL. President Aero Club of Phoenix. To Hon. Governor Richard E. Sloan. Phoenix. Arizona.
 President McDougal said last night ! that he felt sure the governor would | accept the box invitation and he be- lieved he would accept the other one | also. for it is rendered in good faith | and will be an experience few if any others will be permitted to enjoy.
 In the matter of finances. the fi- nance committee has had so many things to do it has never found time to finish up it's work of soliciting but hopes to in day or so. He has heard expressions from some quarters that business men felt slighted in not hay ing been asked to join in the guaran- tee fund. This is not an oversight. nor a lack of appreciation, but it has merely been impossible for the com mittee to get around. Mir. McDougall hopes that all who are so disposed will emulate the example of Costley & Thompson. who were out when the committee called on them, but who came in yesterday voluntarily and made a liberal subscription. Those who care to do likewise can nearly always find some one at headquarters to accommodate them. It is the pur- pose of the committee. though, to make another canvass if it can. From present indications there is little chance taken in the guarantee fund for it looks now as though the crowd coming will insure the return of most ,f on ,.Ff %1
 c. NJ. Fowler. inventor of the Des- ert Eagle machine. returned to Phoe- nix yesterday. He says he will make an attempt to fly here if he can by hook or crook secure a suitable engine. That is the only thing holding him back, and he is more convinced than ever that he has a very practicable model. If he can secure motor a bit of local color will be added to the big show.
 Nat Reiss yesterday sent letters to the San Francisco Press association and to about forty of the leading mag azincs of the country, inviting them to send representatives to the meeting and asking them if they would publish well written stories concerning the ll'fliHE " io ONfl l' tNtllt io bound to be worth while and of news interest to magazine readers and if such publicity is secured it is that much more for Phoenix and all Ari- zona. It will be worth while if only few of them take heed of it.
 The boxes in the grand stand are going rapidly. About half of them are spoken for and those who want them should hurry and get on the list The admissions committee is neck deep in work. Secretary Cook has ordered 10000 tickets for each days admission and says he does not ex- poet to have 10 throw a great many of them away. Anyhow he is not going to close the gates for want of tickets. That is a much larger number than the fair used. but then it is going to be the biggest show ever
 Harry Allen. who has been placed in charge of the information and room bureau, will not go on the job off ciaily until Monday morning. but there is some one at headquarters all the time to list rooms and yesterday quite good start was made. The matter win be taken up vigorously this week and it is urged that every citizen list every possible room. Guests do not have to become members of the fam fly. They only want entertainment where it is comfortable for the money paid. There is to be such crowd as Phoenix never saw before and it is up to Phoenix to entertain it, even at a little personal inconvenience
