A GRAND DEMONSTRATION.

"Brekety-aI.LCoax-LCo Il
Chauncey Depew-Yale."
That was the cry with which the streets
# New Haven resounded last night. The
William Walter Phelps brigade of Yale
200 strong were out in full force, and
red fire and enthusiasm in boundless pro-
fusion were the chief sdjunots to the pa
rade which escorted the Hon. Chauncey |
NJ. Depew, LII. D., from the depot to the |
Hyperion. The procession formed on the |
campus at $50 and marched to the depot,
where they met the $50 train on which |
Mr.. Depew arrived. While the parade was |
at the depot fireworks were distributed to |
all the members of the different companies.
The the carriage containing Mr.. Depew,
Judge Wayland and Robert Wade 1913 and
another student fell in the rear of the col
umn, which moved up State street to
Chapel. As the column entered Chapel
street each man set off his fireworks, max
ing grand pyrotechnic display, and broke
forth again with the Yale cheer for Depew.
As the parade passed up Chapel street the
New Haven people said there had
never been anything here before to surpass
it. One of the captains, in the noise and
confusion and tumultuous cheering, lost
his sword and scabbard, which he did not
notice fall. 1t was taken into S. Good
mans jewelry store, where it awaits the
owner. The parade from Chapel street
passed through the campus, where the
torches were deposited, and then the boys
Immediately proceeded to the Hyperion.
The lieutenant and captains of the battal-
seats on the platform. President Dwight
and Professor n. P. Wright were noticed
in one of the boxes. The greater part of
the box seats were occupied by ladies.
At about S:45 Mr.. Depew, accompanied
by Robert Wade, Dean and ex-Lieutenant
Governor Francis Wayland and Lieutenant
Governor s. E.: Merwin, stepped on the
platform amid the uproarious cheers and
shouts of the enthusiastic students.
Mr.. Wade first introduced Dean Francis
Wayland as the presiding officer of the
TALLY as follows:
Thanks to your kindness, I am
''depew"-tied. Laughter to do honor to
! this occasion. Coming on the platform

duction signify, my first impulse was to
| say, "Here he is, give him true, hearty
| ringing, Yale welcome. But on second
thought, think he needs time to take in
| this scene-to take it in. [Lsughter1

the class of '53, but he does belong to the

States, and the republican party.
DR.. Depew then stepped before the foot
lights and spoke as follows:
Fellow students: Meeting all sorts of

ences of New York, the cultured ones o.
Boston, the sedste people Of Philadelphia
and the hilarious accomplishments of tn
wild and woody west, it appsars to me tina
no crowd has the genuine elements of en-
thusiasm like Yale crowd. It touched
me as an humble member of the baseball

has been my privilege to come here for thu
