ARRIVAL. or THE QUEEN. ~
Queen Frances and her court ooeu-

Queen Frances arrival at the grand
stand was the occasion of another fit
ting demonstration N her honor The
great crowd had waited impatiently
for her majesty and when she ascended
to the throne the vast throng cheered.
The throne at the grand stand is
prett,ly decorated with blue and white,
regatta eolors. With her majesty and
court occupying central position In
tho big crowd the picture was one not

OF course, the center OF interest, her
praciousness having captured the

End of Great Regatta
Is Now Drawing Near

COMMITTEES determined to give over to
them the entire entertainment. All
expectations were surpassed. for the
Chinese certainly performed their func-
ton with satisfaction.
The dragon ls wonderful creation
Of silk and measures 40 feet In length.
One hundred and twenty men are re-
auired to carry IT. while the full COM
plenient Of men In line numbered fully
100. The head of the dragon pictures
all that is terrorizing In beasts Of ac-
ton. Its great eyes protrude giaringly,
and from open jaws Of immense proper
tion hangs tongue that wabbles about
in truly grotesque fashion. Horne add
a bloodcurdling aspect that faithfully
carries OUT the terrible effect desired
TO be created. The dragon Is wriggled,
snake-iike, by an army Of Celestials
IN native costume, and is indeed a rare
sight az 1t winds It's way through the
streets. The dragon ceremony Is a re-
ligi0us one, sacred to the Chinese. The
evil spirit is greatly dreaded by the
heather. who relies upon the dragon
to vanauish him. Ergo the dragon is
regarded with genuine reverence and
the Chinese leave nothing unturned to
honor his presence among them.
The parade was magnificent success
In every particular and an immense
crowd viewed it.

hour and maligned the name and char

DEAD BEATS TO
BE BLACKLISTED
Real Estate Agents Take kCtion
Against Shifty Ones.
FORCE THEM TO PAY RENT
SALT LAKE 100000 PoPuLA-
TON IN 1905" IS SLOGAN.

The tenant who would rather move
than pay rent received soae attention
from the salt Lake Real Estate Agents
association at its regular monthly
meeting and luncheon yesterday. He
las doubtless been given attention by
the individual members of the asso-
ciatiOn before. but this was the first
time the organization has gone after
him. During the talk it developed that
there are people in the city who make
il rule never to pay house rent.
such individuals stay in a house as
long as they can without helping the
landlord any. and then. when legal pro-
ceedings have been instituted against
them, they find another victim. AS
one method OF doing away with the
evil it was decided to establish what
most people would call a black list.
The agents win furnish one another
lists Of persons who fail TO pay their
rent, and in this way it is thought that
some Of the nOn-payers viii find them
selves without roofs over their heads
The association viii probably endeavor
70 secure the passage of "a law giving
landlords a lien on the property of
their tenants for past due rent.
Another interesting feature of tho
meeting yesterday was the adoption OF
q slogan for use on all real estate sta
tiOnery. It is: salt Lake. 100000
Population in 1906" Every member OF
the association has pledged himself to
DO all he can to make the slogan q
truth.
Among the other business transacted
was the adoption Of a resolution for
bidding the listing of property for sale
at net prices. Hereafter all real estate
quotations viii include agents COM
missions.
