was made by the clerks after the Of

was found that 1888 names had
been registered during the day, near
ly 400 more than was registered on
the second day and only little over
300 less than the first days regis
tratiou.
The total registration for this point
up 10 this morning was 1863, and
from reports received from Provo.
Grand Junction up to this morning
was leading that point by about 200.
Last night on No. 6 several hun
dred people left the city for their
homes. having registered during the
day.
The trains coming in from the
east last night. that is No. 8 and No
lpj, reaching this city near the mid
night hour. did not bring in a very
large crowd. No. ! which was de
layed near DeBeque on account OF
the landslide, had quite a large num-
ber of homeseekers who were trans
fefred to another train and came in
about o'clock.
eThis morning line began forming
at an early hour, but it, was not of
the proportions of the line of yester-
day morning However. by $50
O'Clock perhaps $50 people were In
Z line. The doors of the Auditorium
were opened about S;35, and within
an hour the line had disappeared.

morning as they We're yesterday
morning. However, several hundred
/ people registered during the fore
noon.
1t was noticed this morning that
only two or three women were in
/ line when the doors first opened.
/ Very few women registered yester-
{ day.
The streets were pretty quiet all
morning. as the crowd in town was
small compared with those of yes

ute a number of people left the
1 city this moruging for the reserya-
I ton.
About $50 people registered dur
ing the morning, but this afternoon
things were very quiet at the Audi
torium. Less than 200 people reg
istered this afternoon, and the
clerks at 3 O'Clock stated that the
total for the day would hardly eN-
cecd 700, and consequently the reg
istration viii be lighter today than
any day since the Offices opened This
is due to the fact that the trains
from Denver due to reach the city
shortly after noon were delayed by
II the landslide
No. 3 and 1O3 are expected in
about 5o'clocS, each train carrying a
large crowd. Had these reached the
city at the usual time. the regis
tration would have run about l,2OU.
Several hundred people are expect
ed in from Denver and other points
on the midnight train and tomorrow
al noon. as this is the last day the
SIS excursion rate will be in effect
IL is probable that the registration
tomorrow will run considerably over
chat of yesterday.
