the "Elm City," and on the margaret"

All the regular trains to New London in
the afternoon were crowded to their ut
most capacity. sThe race special which
went out at 1:25 was made up in two sec
tions, the first section being composed Of
six drawing room cars and several ordina
~ coaches.
At the head of the train of special CAR
was that of the Quinnipiac club. 1t wa
made conspicuous by a blue banner stretch
ing the length of the car, with the name o
} the club upon it. This was also displayed
on the front of the observation train a
the great race. The delegation, on it's re
} turn to this city, marched from the station
! to the club house, carrying the banne
with them. Perhaps no section of tn
great throng more thoroughly enjoyed tn
affair and showed more enthusiasm owe
the result than did they. The management
; was in the hands of Mt. R. V. Beach, an
= | a vote of thanks was extended to him fo
the most thorough and able manner i
| which he conducted the affair.
The five other parlor cars in the frs
3 | section were occupied by Mayor Sargen
; and party, J. K. Beach and party. w. E
| Wood and party, DR.. Dennis of New Yor

j and D. Lord Sd and party.
o After the first section had started th
= second section, consisting of twelve coacf
es and the directors car, moved up i
g front of the station, the cars were loade
i in no time. At :35 the train started If
y New London. The cars were all blu'
8 only one solitary wearer of the crimson b.
Q ing seen among the crowd.
Those who stayed at home were not 81
tirely out of it, however, for the enterpri
ing Southern NewEngland Telephone con
pany had arranged to show the race to Ne
2 Haveners. Two wires we're stretched pa

Il Harvard and Yale moved slowly across
the exact position of the shells at NewLo
y don. The time at the different interva
', of the race was also displayed. A larl
crowd of people was present and intense
interested. When It was seen that va
had won big shout went up and the ney
was soon circulated to every corner of Il
g city.
l. AS soon as it became known that Ys
was the victor the footing of horns and
B. ing of cannon crackers were heard all ov
a. the city, which continually increased I'M
o. the crew arrived at the depot, when the e
element reached frenzy pitch on Chap
Is State, Church and College streets.
4, THE RETURN.
1e Beside thousands of adults nearly h,
* the juvenile population of the city was
&c the depot last evening to see the crews
t. turn and pandemonium of horn blowi
u ensued.
IL At $3.50 the first special composed of t
IL drawing room cars steamed into the dep,
We On board were the freshman crew, t
C. college professors, the Quinnipiac cl
delegation and a very large number
~ prominent society people in general.
a The freshman crew were driven in CT
to | riages to the New Haven house, whe
of they were received with q shower of fl
or works.
at At 9:15 the second special with
crowd on board steamed in. A deafeni
ct roar from the multitude of waiting hor
as and an answering roar from the incomi
at horns ensued. Then there was anoth
wait. At about half-past nine the She
I'D came in. Upon it were the crew al
K many prominent Yalensians. A rush W
O. made for the car in which the crew we
4 sitting. When they appeared on the pl,
he form there was deafening roar of chez
ss and horn blowing and the crowd surg
SO towards the steps.
III A passage way was forced through t
8, crowd to the baggage roen and the Gre
ID finally reached the front of the dept
where Smedley's tally-ho was waitin
a. Captain Hartwell and his men mounted t
D. coach, and the crowd formed behind.
at | Water street the American band appear
and the fun began. Red lights, ROM
IN candles and frecrsckers were burning al
be bursting on every side. The processi
went mp State into Chapel, and the Fl,
,g works seemed to be set off by the hundre
of packages.
1r The coach and crew could hardly be se
through the smoke and sparks of the pyr
at technic display. The Roman candle bal
shooting up from either side of Char
10 street formed an arch, fiery, brilliant al
~ variegated in color. The procession ke
1e on up Chapel street to Warner hall, whe
if it turned and went back to the New Hav
be house. The balcony and windows of Il
n. Quinnipiac club were all filed with mel
st bers, and as the procession passed t
8, whole building seemed ablaze with red Fl
b, and Roman candles.
At the NewHaven house as the membe
of the crew alighted they were hoisted {
the shoulders of the enthusiastic studen
and carried triumphantly into the dinil
70 room. One big, broad shouldered fello
10 picked up Coxswain Olmstead and carrie
him in. D. Rogers carried blue and r
~ banner, on which was painted in gilt "Ya
to versus Harvard"
10 There were no serious accidents from Il
. fire works. A few persons were more
VI less burnt by the sparks and red fire 81
ae some were struck by the large fire crac
9, ers, but hardly any one was hurt to al
of extent. The crowd about the camp
- numbered fully 10000.
