Mir. Foster states that SO many friends of his who owned machines other than Fords expressed desire to join the party. tha, he referred 1t back ,o the Ford owners with a rec ommcndation that every one in Prescott, and vicinity owning a ma chine. regardless of make. be re. quested to join the party. This was most cordially agreed ,o. so that now. instead of being known as a Ford Excursion" it will be known as the Prescott Sociability Exeur- sion," to which every one possessing a machine is heartily invited As gathered from MT. Foster, the de- tails will be somewhat as follows: The excursion will leave Prescott shortly after noon on Sunday, June I9 It Is proposed to jog along icis- urely. arriving at Ash Fork in about four hours. Arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the party al the Esealante. the famous Fred Harvey hotel there. although some of the unattached" men of the party may have ,o take rooms outside of the main hotel Everyone will Subsis, al the Escalante, how ever, and the sleeping aecommoda- tions. wherever they may be, will be good. and every one will be properly taken care of. preference of course to be given to the ladies and the men with families On Monday morning an early start will be made for the cighty-milc run to Grand View hotel. on the rim of the Grand Canyon, at the head of the eelebratel Grand View trail. fourteen miles cast of Fl Tovar hotel. which will be passed cn route.

Monday night and all day Tuesday will be spent at Grand View and in visiting the various points of interest along the rim of the Canyon, and there will be ample time for a descent into the Titan of Chasms" for all who may wish to do SO. The grandeur of the spec taole at Grand View and vicinity cannot be exoeiled anywhere on the rim. and in itself IS we'll worth the entire expense of the trip.
 On Wednesday morning an carly start homeward will be made, and those who desire io do SO may easi- ly reach Prescott before dark with. out hurrying. as the entire distance Is not more than l40 miles.
