t.ld nj Berkcley Oval yesterday afternoon. Tho
sr,wny sons OF old Yale, as was expected, car
,cd of the honors Of the day. but not so easily
a. the prophets had predicted. for they had a
most trying conflict with Harvards men of
ru,cle and the agile Quakcrs from the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania.

struggle. came driving up in martial array,
every body cheering horns and trumpets send
ing forth the usual fanfare, aud nobody suffer-
Ing from the blues.
The special train service from the Grand Con-
trail station was taxed to its utmost capacity,
while the trains over the old New York and
Northern branch from the l. terminus at 155th
street brought hundreds of passengers. AS
