 Lot-Scenes and Incidents.
 A big crowd gathered before the Southern New England Telephone company's building on Court street little before o'clock to watch the bulletins of the race announced from the telephone headquarters. To those in the crowd who were unable to get near enough to read the bulletins, the result at the end of each mile was made known by means of flags hoisted upon the flag pole on the roof of the building. Once only the Harvard colors were raised half way up the flagstaff, and several Harvard men in the crowd chesred; but the blue nag soon took it's place and the bystsnders had the laugh on the Harvard men, who cheered too soon. Almost the minute the news of Yale's v1cto- " came the din and noise about town began, and thereafter until midnight there was small edition of pandemonlum, or as an olo lady on Chapel street expressed it, Ut seemed as if the old boy was let loose" Chapel street from State street to the colleges was alive with people, and with the crowds of people and snapping of crackers, the blow ing of innumerable tin horns and displays of fireworks, the 4th of July was almost discounted. Everybody was happy over Yale's victory and scores upon scores of the young ladies promenading on Chapel street in the throngs wore the Yale blue in some pretty device or other. Enthusiasm was everywhere displayed, and Yale blue was displayed at many of the stores, and many youngsters stood with blue flags in favorable places for viewing the procession Everybody was on tiptoe to welcome home the winning crew and see the big pow WOW and the triumphal procession. The lateness of the hour when the trains arrived from New London had thinned out the crowds considerably; nevertheless 5000 people at least were gathered on Chapel street when the procession arrived which was at half-past II. Brilliant displays of VI fire were made along the route of the procession, viz: from the depot up State, to .Caaqsl, to High to the G5m.~l6t. Noticeably fine was the dis play from the Quinnipiao club building, where also band disooursed music and a mammoth American flag was displayed; and at Captain Gessner's Apothe- carries Hall, which was depot for red fire supplies for the night, and at the Republican League building, which was brilliantly light ed up and filed with ladies and gentlemen viewing the scene. The procession was led by carriages in which were gentlemen with ladies bearing aloft the Yale blue and little brooms; and behind them came a dense throng of boys, students and townspeople and the American band, while the noise from a myriad of toot horns in the procession was deafening. But the crew-the winning crew were not there. They had not arrived. When the procession reached Gym lot huge bonfire was blazing upon it, casting lurid glare in the sky over the big elms and old buildings of Yale. As the town clocks struck midnight the crowds began to dis perse homeward, but still the big bonfire blazed heavenward.. An interesting scene at midnight was group in retired spot on the college campus. One of the group was an elderly refined lady, and she with two young ladies were listening with intense eagerness while young Yalensian fired with the enthusiasm of the victory was telling the eager listeners how the Yale crew rowed, and how one in particular dear to the hearts of the ladies had achieved his share of the bril- liant result.
 ON THE TRAINS AND THE STEAMERS. The two big special trains arrived home from New London at nearly eleven o'clock. The trains closely followed one another and the second train had to wait twice Tor the other en route and shortly after starting the second had to give the first help up grade. There were about 2, 700 people on the two trains, mostly New Haven people, and about a quarter of them were New Haven ladies. The Elm City, Capt. Bishop, took out to New London about 300 exeursionists, mostly New Haven people, and the boat arrived home at an early hour this morning.
 ATTHE DEPOT.
 crowd of about 1000 people was at the Union depot last evening awaiting the arrival of the trains and there was noise enough at the station to satisfy the most inveterate craving for Bedlam. The police charged on the mob with tin horns two or three times h1k vyifh In the noise.
 THE CREW ARRIVES.
 The victorious Yale crew arrived here on a ing. They were met at the depot by large number of Yalensians and others end were accorded 8 royal reception. The crew mount ed a tally-ho coach and with hundreds of happy followers amid glaring colored lights and numberlsss Roman candles were escorted up State street through Chapel street to the campus. The procession was headed by the Second regiment band. At the campus an- other throng awaited them with tin horns, fireworks and cannon crackers.
 At last the race was over, the heroes home and the immortal blue was an object ot pride.
