of President Hadley.
HAVE A UNIQUE PARADE
TRANSFORMERS AND FLOATS
OF ARTISTIC DESIGN.
Have Occasion Once to Manifest
Their Good Feeling Toward Har-
ward When President Eliot Made
his Appearance-Day Wound Up
With Fireworks and Bon Fire.

New Haven. Conn.,. Oct 1S.-Three
thousand Yale undergraduates and
recent graduates united tonight in a
parade in honor of President Hadley.
The hit of the procession was the train
of the 'Hadley Transportation Conn
pany.' 1t consisted of a locomotive and
three cars each of the latter sixteen feet
long and seven feet high. lighted from
within with lanterns. The locomotive
moved on wheels and was fitted with a
boiler which emitted steam at every
stop and continuously rang a clangoS-
Gus bell as a warming of its approach.
The baggage, car contained an exact
likeness of Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
in the act of throwing out a trunk
marked "A. T. H., Yale"
The baggage car and each of the two
passenger coaches were carried by two
Of the college sweeps" The whole
train formed table9ux ninety feet
long. The locomotive burned cotton
waste and was equipped with a head
light. The windows Of the passenger
coaches contained excellent portraits of
prominent professors and graduates.
With the cars were twenty seniors
carrying regulation lanterns and
dressed in the garb of brakemen. Con-
Sidering the fact that much of PreSl-
dent Hadley's reputation as an econo-
mist is based on his work on railroad
transportation, the railroad tableau
was especially appropriate.
Pleased the Visitors.
What pleased the visitors most, and
also the graduates of long standing
was the transparency carried by the
divinity school students. 1t was a.
faithful representation OF the old Say
book Meeting house, where met the
eleven ministers who founded Yale COL
lege nearly 200 years ago.
The scientific students carried as
symbol of their study a huge blast
furnace of sheet iron and cardboard
painted a dun red to represent the
fiery heat that at every stop sent
flames high into the air. The furnace
was sixteen feet high.
The art students carried a number of
transDarencies illustrative of their
study.
The procession started at o'clock
with Captain Malcolm Mcbride of the
football eleven as grand marshal. The
campus was brilliantly illuminated,
each room in the quadrangle being
lighted. Hundreds of Chinese lanterns
hung in festoons and fancy designs
around the campus and in the archways
of the several halls. Great quantities
of red fire blazed from the roofs of the
Vanderbilt, Pheles and Alumni halls
and made the sky a deep red.
Every man in the procession carried a
flaming torch. Each man was also
CARRIED in the academic gown and NOR
cardboard of regulation cut, with the
distinguishing hueS. The seniors wore
light green and the juniors blue, the
sophomores red and the freshmen deep
green.
Transparencies In Plenty.
Transparencies in plenty were carried
at the distance of every few feet, most
of them being humorous. The process
sion was reviewed at the city hall by
the mayor and common council.
From the city hall the procession
marched to the home of former Pro-
fessor George Brush, until last year di-
rector of the scientific department Of
the university. President Hadley's
home, near by, was the next objective
point, and here q longer stop was made
President Hadley's appearance on the
veranda was the signal for a mighty
acclaim. President Hadley made one of
his characteristic speeches. The good
feeling existing at Yale toward Har-
ward was shown when President Eliot
of Harvard was recognized near Presi-
dent Hadley. The Yale men cheered
him vociferously also.
On Hill House avenue large guam
tity of "Dewey's" and other pyrotech-
MICS had been stored, and when tho
procession approached the fireworks
were kindled. Mrs. Hazard. president
of Wellesley, was cheered at the home
Of Judge Lynde Harrison.
The celebration terminated with a
huge bonfire near the campus on the
old gymnasium lot.
