SOCIETY WAS THERE.
Wealth and Beauty at the Harvard
Yale Game.

Yale Game.
"Rah, rah, rahl Harvard, Yale. Zip,
boom, bang. hurrah, crimson, blue. toot.
toot, hoop-laP' and that's the way 1000 Of
San Francisco's flour hundred" welcomed
the Pacific Coast Harvard and Yale alumni
baseball mines at Central Park yesterday
afternoon.
1t was the second annual game between
the alumni Of the colleges named, and there
was not a graduate on the coast but what
was deeply interested in the match. Har-
ward won last year. and the Yale men had
sworn a mighty oath to do or die, while
Harvard. resting upon the laurels of a pre-
vious victory, smiled confidently and said,
We'll see, we'll see"
Besides the college men there were the
sweet sisters and sweeter sweethoarts OF
the Yale and Harvard boys. their admIrlng
cousins and doting mothers, all OF whom
knew that any nine in which their boy
played was bound TO win. OF late San
Francisco society has run mad over charity,
and It'll good thing, too. The -four hum
dred." whether male or female, are never so
happy nowadays as when doing something
in a public way for the poor and unfortu-
nate. aud the result has been that the here
tofore empty Golfers of many charitable
American dollars earned by the people who
are supposed to toll not neither do they
spin, and yet put Solomon and his gorgeous
raiment in the light of back number.
The great grand stand at Central Park
was filled long before the hour q o'cloekl
announced for the opening of the game.
Instinctively the ladies, and they numbered
. ten to one the gentlemen present in the
lad thau 81
to their colors. The south half of the grand
stand was poem OF crimson and gold. Red
dresses. cloaks. hats, parasols. fans, flags.
balloons, and even red horns were TO be
seen everywhere. There is just suspicion
that the brunette beauties Of the city adopt
ed the Harvard crimson because they knew
how charmingly it would become them,
while the blue-eyed blends wore the blue
and white coloIs of the Yale nine for the
same reason.
If the southern half Of the grand stand
was blaze OF crimson glory the northern
half was a symphony in blue and white.
The golden haired lassies wore blue gowns
of silk and satin, carried blue fans In blue
gloyed hands and blue horns painted as blue
as ever msiden's fancy when she has lost
her first lover.
About $50 o'clock the procession Of play
ers and their most intimate admirers, all In
coaches drawn fouT-in-h and, arrived upon
the scene The procession was led by the
First Regiment Band, the Harvard nine on
a coach driven by Shafter Howard follow
Ing. and then the Yale team on coach re-
splendent with their coiors. Following

When the coaches entered the park they
were given a welcome from the assembled
thousands that must have been heard on
the Ssusalito shores. The people on the
coaches responded, and to see some of the
delicate, dainty society maidens blow fish,
horn almost as big "a themselves, and blow
1t good and loud" was alone worth the
price OF admission. The coaches ranged
sround the circle and then the unattached
gentlemen began TO gather around the fence
and Ill up the standing-rcom everywhere.
For once the boys were not out on dress
parade for the benefit OF the ladies'. There
were only few men on the grounds worth
looking at, so said the girls, and they were
on the bail field in the crimson of Harvard
or blue of Yale.
For the afternoon only, maybe, the young
ladies' and their ehaperones, whether wild.
owed sisters or anxious mothers, had only
eyes and ears for the players, and the eligi-
bles who posed IN elegant costumes where
they could be seen TO the best advantage
were overlooked. 1t was hard on the deep.
bIoad-ehested, six-toot-two man, with his
whiskers carefully combed and curled, to
see long, lanky, angular, spindle-shanked
FIRST baseman In blue jersey and white
knickerbockers win smiles from the very
girls he had come out to fascinate. But so
1t was and the game went on.
As inning after inning was played the en-
thusiasm increased In wonderful ratio.
Pretty girls, who could not for their lives
run a hundred yards, sent the notes OF their
fshhorns echoing over the hills and valley:
and made them sing louder and longer al
the game progressed. Beyond question The
second annual game Of the Harvard Yals
baseball teams was magnificent success:
and the hard-won victory OF Harvard vii
only make the next game even more popular
ana interesting
