MANY LIVELY SCENES ON THE CAM
 PUS LAST NIGHT.

Celebrated Naming of the Cruiser Paris. Yale, bya Parade-SophomoresD Defeated by the Freshmen at Baseball-Fence Orator Selected and Class Rush Ensued- New Military Company Organized.
 When the news that the two big aux Hilary cruisers, the Paris and the New York, had by the navy department been named Yale and Harvard, respec- lively, was announced on the campus, there was general surprise and gratifi- cation at the same, and many mighty shouts, expressive of the feelings of the undergraduates, rent the air. All were highly pleased. In very few minutes the sound of fife and drum was heard near Vanderbilt dormitory. There were few men following along, but before the middle of the campus was reached the number had been aug mented by several hundred, all cheer ing for the new named boats and sing ing patriotic songs.
 The procession marched around the campus through the court in front of Berkeley and White dormitories, through High street and again around the college buildings. Before the marching had ceased several men in the line carried guns and sabers: oth- CTS had noise making instruments and added to this the 1usty throats and strong lungs of the students, there was very lively and noisy demonstration. President Timothy Dwight was last night informed of the action of the navy department by a representative of the Courier. He smiled his approv- al and said that he was very much sur prised and gratified to hear of it. He concurred with the opinion that Assist ant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, being Harvard graduate, was instru- mental in having the boats so named
 SOPHOMORE ELECTION.
 The sophomore class elected MT. Da- na as it's fence orator at the meeting last night He was their orator last year also. As soon as the meeting ad- journed the class hastened to the fence expecting that the freshmen, jubilant over their victory at the field, would make the usual attempt to take the fence But the freshmen had made no preparations for such an attempt and it was only made after repeated cheer ing by the sophomores. A small crowd of them gathered in front of Dwight hall and gave their class cheer. AS there were not enough of them to make successful attempt they dispersed to collect more and to better prepare themselves After half hour they returned in a body and made bold rush for the fence. Then resulted one of the best arld most hotly contested scraps ever witnessed upon the cam pus. As usual the freshmen were un- organized and were at a disadvantage having to attack a larger body of men, closely packed about the fence. Nev- ertheless they made a gallant attack, and although they did not succeed in holding the fence, it was impossible to find freshman who had not been on the fence at least twice. They were as successful as any freshman class has been and are to be congratulated.
