scribed. The New York students roughed
each other and smashed hats as IL about the
tree on class day after the seniors had complet-
ed their sober exercises. They danced and
sung, and leaped, and the road villageward was
Ike the line Of travel of a menagerie of wild
beasts. The time Of the Columbia beats the
Springfield.
DIsGRACEFUL SCENES AT THE HOTEL.
The main entrances were besie,ed by a surg
ing mass of students. while the din aud conflls-
Ion inside the spacious vestbule was all but
terrifying to those lucklcss ones who were una
able 10 eNtrfcate themselves from the crowd
Yale rushed Harvard and Harvard rushed
! ale. Angry disputes were heard on all sides
while some arguments of puglistc nature
were advanced. The affrighted guests rushed
TO their rooms and remained behind bolted
doors, while timid dsmsels and decrepid old la
dies were hysterical from fear.
Upon the appearance Of Captain Recs the Co
lumba students seized upon him, hosting him
up and down the broad piazzas like mad. inter
mlngling the eXutant cheers with the general
tumult. Later their enthusiasm found partial
vent In marching up and down the broad aven-
Tie past tae hotels, headed by handful of blow
ers OF brass, whose music would not take rank
from classical point OF view on any other oc-
casion.
