 news that Yale was victorious. messenger news as quickly as his legs could carry him, and in about two minutes by the watch the campus, which before was as quiet almost as a meeting of the Board of Education, was suddenly alive with a large throng of up- roarious students, and pandemonium reigned. On assurance being rendered doubly sure, students hugged each other, pounded each other in pure joy, hove up their hats in mid air, shouted rah-rah=rah like mad, and danced around in most hilarious manner. Soon graduate mounted the fence and the crowd was at once around him thick as bees in swarming. and at each ejaculation of the orator a, round of rah-rahs was given, each vieing with the other in attempting to shout the loudest. Canes, umbrellas and hats went skyward. Now appeared graduates with arms | full of cannon crackers which We're thrown in punches on bonfire just made and the explosions were deafening. More crackers were brought and the campus was soon cov- cred with ragged bits of powder cracker paper thick as leaves of Vallombrosa. Then the excitement grew with what it fed on and l lee and very soon the Center church bell and the First Methodist bell joined in the ac- claim. More students arrived, townspeople came up to see the sport and very soon student with a big bass drum and l another with 8 snare drum hove in view coming across the old Green hurrying:to the campus and on their arrival the whole mass of students formed in procession and march, l ed around, first up to and around the Silli- man statue and then in tour of the college grounds, and then down Chapel street and around Trinity church and up past the old State House back to the campus Then more marching was had, and this time tin horns appeared and then moro tin horns till 8 multitude of horns added to the 1 noise of the drums and the shouting. Then l an express wagon team was impressed into | service and 8 dozen or twenty Yalensians l mounted into the wagon and rode around town in the vicinity of the college. rending the air with tin horn music Fair young ladies, warm friends of the blue, appeared at a modest and respectful distance, or had i'm ! portant business near Beers drug store and drank in with joy the news of victory which | gallant Yale friends imparted to them as cor rect beyond doubt. Townspeople lined the | walks near the colleges witnessing the fun and joy and sharing in the excitement and the happiness. ''Won't there be jubilee tonight when the boys get home,' was the general exclamation
 THE EVENING JUBILEE.
 Active preparations had been made during the afternoon receiving the crew. A con- mittee consisting of N. G. Osborn, H. c.
 White, A. s. Osborn, Charles Walker, W. P' Trowbridge and Ray Tompkins had been ! 5, s. :, students. Their labors were successful as about three hundred dollars were secured. Professor Wheeler, when asked for contri- button, pulled out $1O bill and remarked, "Go and buy enough to burn the town"
 About half-past seven the students to the number of five hundred preceded by the American band marched to the depot. They were formed into platoons of sixteen men and marched with quite a soldieriy bearing.
 By the time the procession had reached the
 depot at least fifteen hundred people were
 assembled there. They sought all the avail ! able places for seeing, some on top of freight
 cars, in the depot windows and wherever 8
 little height could be gained
 The sound of the horas and the shouting of the excited crowd was pandemonium indeed. Long and loud were the blasts blown from those musical instruments particularly adapt
 ed to the fish trade and the noise drowned
 that of the incoming trains. About the time | for the arrival of the Air Line train a shout
 was raised, Here she is D The crowd SUD- posing it to be the train they were waiting
 for cheer after cheer made the air ring but
 much to the chagrin of the crowd it proved | to be only the regular evening train on the
 Air Line road As the time grew shorter for the arrival of the train the enthusiasm in- creased. The students could not restrain kk-,, antics. At last the vished-for train appeared and long and loud were the cheers which rent the air. The engine was decked with the college colors and streamers were float ing from the car wiodows held by many fair hands. The crew were quickly borne on the shoulders of the crowd to the carriages which ! were in waiting. The procession re- formed and the line of march taken up for 1 the campus. All along fireworks were ex- 1 ploded and colored fire burned. On Chapel street were hundreds of ladies watching the | proceedings. each sporting the college color. 1 The proprietors of many of the stores had l their windows gaily trimmed. splendid | display of fireworks and colored fire was | made from the Grays' association rooms in | Glebe building Captain Gessner at Apoth- ecaries' Hall made fine display of colored 1 fires, as also did MT. Klock at his drug store At the Quinnipiac club ths national colors were displayed, as also at the | Union Hotel. At the New Haven House were many ladies at the windows who ! were here for commencement exercises. The 1 scene on Chapel street between Church street i and the campus when the procession passed was memorable. The walks were as densely lined with people as possible, and wi the ! moving procession there were no doubt five l thousand people between the points named. | The scene was splendidly illuminated by col l ored fire, and at short intervals the bang of | the cannon on the old Green pro- | claimed victory in powerful tones, and the blaze of the firing wildly lit up the darkness in that section. All eyes waited for glimpse of the victorious crew, | and applause followed applause from the 1 spectators as they were caught sight of. The | college bell, Center church bell, the old Third 1 church bell and the First Methodist bell were loudly ringing and altogether 1t was "blg | time." Townspeople and students were one | and in accord in joy over the victory. The | feeling of exuitation was universal. When | the campus was reached by the procession 8 | large bonfire made from blinds of the 'Old South" was fercely blszing. Large cannon crackers were exploded by the bunch and | with the booming of the city cannon on the Green (under the care of Captain Belden) re- minded one of battlefield as well az a celebration. Large quan- 1 titles of fireworks were used and made the place resplendent with their bright light. | All the barrels ana DDXeS that could De | found in the neighborhood were carried to 1 the campus and consigned to the flames. The boys kept up the general racket till late hour this morning.
