The Interest i'm This City-Nineteen
 Carloads for New London-The
 DIsaPPointment-SP as to
 the Why's and Wherefores-The Re-
 turning Throngs of Excursfonists.
 The interest in this city yesterday morning was intense The adherents of Yale turned out hundreds strong and long before the time for the special train a line of students stretched from the ticket office to the bag gage room. Many ladies were on board. The students displayed the Yale blue in the shape of neckties, handkerchiefs and ban ners, and many of the ladies waved the Yale colors. The special train was made up of nineteen cars and two locomotives. There were three or four Pullman cars on the train, and here it may be added that returning ex- cursionists say the arrangements of the rall- road officials were perfect and admirable.
 The train arrived in New London at the right time, the whole assembly had in very few minutes changed cars and taken places on the observation train and in short time more were witnessing the starting of the race Nothing happened to mar the occa- sion (except Yale's defeat) and the New Hav- en excursionists left New London at about 1:30 and at about 3 were back in the City of Films.
 About the hour for the race all the Yale men remaining in New Haven were at the telegraph offices waiting for the news All were in high hopes for Yale and many pressions of Yale's ability to defeat her rival were heard. As the news of each mile was received at the Western Union telegraph office it spread like fire through the city. The crowds that were gathered before the bulb tin boards grew pale and looked anxious as the news from the wire was posted up. 1off off hat w. a ute behind at the end of the first mile, though hundreds waited till the finish. After the result of the race was announced they looked as though they did not believe it, but gradually the fact that Yale had been in gloriously beaten impressed itself upon them, and they gradually walked away with as lit tie noise as possible. Last evening the campus looked deserted and students, in- stead of participating in the demon strations of victory, sat on the fence and laid the blame on some man or thing or other. Some said that four of the men were dead weights in the boat, and others laid the blame on the Harvard pro fessionals." Some were enquiring if 'Ethe protest had been entered"
 A pretty sight indeed at New London was the fleet of yachts, steamboats and steam tugs. Among the yachts were the Brun hide and Sophia, now so well known in New Haven waters, to say nothing of many more
  dredging steamers, the Morgan, Smith Broth CTS and Luzerne Luddingto1, which were laden with we'll known New Haven citizens.
