 The Class Histories.
 The class histories were much enjoyed. Hundreds were present, and there was the usual brilliant array of toilets. All the seats were occupied early, and all the space in the enclosure was during the first two or three hours densely thronged. The band Wheeler dS Wilson's) played charmingly and various popular airs were among the selections ren- dered A number of prominent members of
  noticed President Hayes was somewhat ex- pected, but did not appear, and there were one or two false alarms as some specially dig nifed gentleman was seen approaching in the distance. The long pipes, which came from Belgium by MT. Gallagher of this city-were as usual an indispensable feature, and many of them were borne away by fair Lo 1osl 4,.oo .a1 toes of class day, or at least certain fragmen- tary portions thereof, the trophies being so susceptible to brealage, especially in crowd ed gathering. The air was fragrant with the odors of the choicest tobacco, and the luxury of smoking was unanimously indulged in, l judging from the number of pipes in requisi- ton. All the histories were received with innumerable sfrah! rahs!'' and other evidences of delight and appreciation, and there was ioyousness in the midst of a separation, of which it might be said of some: Tt may be for years and it may be forever" The hila- riousness of the occasion seemed to be keenly relished by not few of the fair sex not only ''nut brown maidens, "but maidens with gold en tresses and cheeks like pearls. Keen sat- isfaction was evinced at the truthful revela- tions of the faithful chroniclers, and lovely eyes fairly sparkled with delight as some fa- vorite's specialties were disclosed for the first time to the listening world on the campus. Serenity marked the features of here and there grave and reverend senior as he gazed upon the joyous scene, but little by little the sportiveness of the occasion relaxed their features into an unwonted tenderness and sat isfaetion, as college pranks and ludicrous l scenes of their own college days came up to their mental vision from the dim vista of the l past The old gray boards then looked young again, and life was again a beautiful picture with no vista of sombre hue. Joy took the 1 helm again amid the merry rout and race of the succession of individual pictures so faith fully presented by the calm and dispassion- ate historians-the names of whom are N. G. Osborn, A. E. Hooker, J. B. Porter and s. c. Partridge. A hogshead of lemonade formed the flowing bowl of the occasion. The weather was delightful, though a trife warm, as the sun kindly obscured itself most
 of the afternoon,fand the prophecy of rain shower hinted at by the weather king at Washington was a flash in the pan, a few scat l tering drops being the full measure of said shower
 The ivy planting scene, the poetic feature 1 of the day, was to many most interesting scene, despite it's pathos. Then came the parting tribute to their loved president with 1 the customary procession and music, and the 1 presidents parting salutation and blessing. 1 The line of march was then resumed and l honors were paid to ex-President Woolsey, President Hayes and Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, Secretary of State, each of these gentlemen being heard from in brief speeches. It was about o'clock when the ivy planting was finished and the serenade march begun.
