STUDENTS JUBILEE.
A Grand Pow-Wow and Ghost Dance
at PaIo Alto.
Enthusiastic Celebration of the Base
ball Victory Over the State Uni
versity Veterans.

Last Saturday night at the Leland Stan
ford Jr. University will never be for
gotten by the students Of that already
famous institution of learning.
1t was night made memorable by one
OF the most remarkable scenes that ever
took place in any of the higher educa-
tional colleges, and patriotism prompted
the affair from the start.
Stanford University being but few
months old and the youngest college on
the coast, it would naturally be supposed
that the students were not yet thoroughly
enthused with home pride, but the con-
dition of affairs is just the reverse.
A SECOND VICTORY.
Ever since the Stanford football team
went over to Berkeley and gave the State
University boys such severe drubbing,
local pride among the students has been
on the steady increase, until Saturday
night last it reached its highest pitch.
The Stanford baseball team walloped
the az. c." boys at Central Park by a
score OF l3 to 6, and when the news
reached the boys at Menlo they We're
overjoyed and ready to do almost any
thing in order to welcome their team
home that night in a fitting manner
They had heard of Capron's fine pitching.
Newson's good work behind the bat,
Sheehan's handy 'two-bagger" and the
steady playing of the team as whole,
and they wanted to do something out Of
the usual to give prompt vent to their
enthusiasm. Heads were put together,
and it was decided to give some novel
reception-and that's what was done.
The boys of the ball team were not
aware of the fact that their victory had so
stirred up the enthusiasm of their mates
at home, and when they left Third and
Townsend streets for Menlo Park at
midnight Saturday, they had little idea
of what the boys at the college had
planned. Menlo Park was reached at
O'Clock in the morning and the big bus
was at the depot as usual, ready to take
the students out to college and to bed
THE GHOSTS WALKED.
There were no unusual incidents of the
trip until the bus reached point on the
road within about half mile of the Uni
versity. The occupants Of the vehicle
here noticed hundreds of tiny lights
ahead and few moments later human
forms clad in white could be discerned.
The bus was soon in the midst of the
ghost-like torn1s, which proved to be the
University boys clad in their night
gowns, and each holding lighted can
die. There were about two hundred of
them, and in an instant the college veil
rang OuO 1lOul ISdJ CuOTuS Ol NO1C6Ss
'Rah 'Rah! 'Rah !-'Rah 'Rah! 'Rah
-'Rah 'Rah! Stanfordi!l
The enthusiastic students clamored into
the bus from all sides, anxious to greet
the members of their ball team and con-
graduate them on their success.
AROUSED THE GIRLS.
They were profuse in their praises and
the entire crowd escorted the PLAYERS
along the road to the museum building
and thence to Roble Hall, the dormitory
of the young ladies. The cheers and the
din on the outside soon awakened the
girls and they were all at the windows
peering out in amazement at the unusual
scene.
Firecrackers were exploding and cheers
ringing as the van moved by, and after
grand ghost dance around a huge bon
tire, the crowd dispersed to Encina Hall,
and each boy sought his led, well-tired
