Students Celebrate with n Mock Parade
Green and Orange Meet.

PRINCETON. n. j.. March 17.-About 200
Princeton students celebrated st. Patrick's
day after a fashion that promised at times to
develop into a Donnybrook Fair fight. The
boys who wore the green practically owned the
campus all day. They strutted around In a
body and gave chase to all those who showed
a bit Of orange color. so that the sophomores
and varsity men were kept busy lodging their
way to the recitation hall. The feature of the
day was a parade which formed early this
afternoon and marched around the town.
1t was composed mainly Of seniors. who
sported silk hats swathed with wide green
ribbons and green coats. Every man carried a
mock shillalah OF cornstalk. The procession
was headed by a load of hay drawn by four
horses. which had been seized forthe OCCASION.
followed by a squad OF cavalry. after which
came the foot column with n fife and drum
corps. An ambulance brought up the rear.
The line of march was past the Cleveland resi-
the ex-PreSident. but lust as the cavalry was
passing through the gate one OF the horses:
which was carrying three men. fell and spilled
the load. The man who landed first was slightly
injured ami all three were bundled into the
ambulance.
When the parade came back to Nassau street
It met a crowd of students wearing orange rib
bons, who had suffered during the day. Asthe
green-bedecked procession turned the corner;
II was rushed by the others. and a general
scrimmage followed. Shillalahs flew .merrily:
but the Orangemen responded with chunks OF
mud. and had almost won the fight when tho
cavalry charged and saved the day, Then the
procession reformed and finished the line of
march triumphantly in spite of the fusillade OF
bad apples that met them at every corner.
