 At ? o'clock the crowds began nov ing towards Yale field, and from that time on until 8 o'clock every car for Yale field was crowded to the steps.
 At the field seats were reserved at the left of the bleachers for '95, '93 S, Fl and '86, and on the left of the grand stand bleacher seats were reserved for '95, '90' '76 and Fl s. At the left of 'S6 section of the bleaChers was occupied by the Princeton club of New York, which carried a large orange and black banner inscribed with the name of the club. Ninety-thr which is holding it's triennial, created a sensation as it came upon the field. At it's head was the Wheeler & Wilson band of Bridge port.

Sixty-siX was next cheered by the younger classes, and re- sponded with a very passable yell for their class.
 The Princeton team occupied the field for practice first, and at 2:53 the Yale team came trotting out for a little practice to Timber themselves up for the great battle. As the blue-shirted gzJI, ,E sands cheer after cheer rent the air. By this time there were fully 15000 people on the scene, every seat in the grand stand and bleachers being filled, while thousands sat and stood outside the side ropes, The entire crowd was one mass of color Bright dresses and banners of blue and of orange and black gave to the scene a coloring of rare beauty, and made the picture spread out--oyer the field one of the prettiest possible to imagine. The spec tators occupied every available inch of space surrounding the field, and back of the people on foot were hundreds of carriages each one being decorated in the colors of one of the colleges.
 Among the old grads noticed present were Josh Hartwell, the famous foot ball player, and Dutch Carter, the pitcher who did such great work on the Yale baseball team in '94'95 Carter batted for the Yale team while it was practicing,
 At 2:25 the game was called, and then the Princeton men gathered on the bleachers around the orange and black banner and sang Nassau, Nassau" The Yale team had by this time stop ped practice and were grouped under the blue and white canopy at the right of the grand stand.

Soon after this there oc- cured one of the finest plays of the en- tire game. Kelley started to steal sec ond and while Lctton and De Saulles were chasing him back and forth be- tween third and second, Bradley led way off from third and evidently thought he was destined to reach home, but Letton was waiting for this and threw him out at third.
