1 Arrival of Glasses Headed by Bands-A Fine Sight
 The annual Yale commencement week
 ball game between Yale and Harvard
 was played at the Yale field yesterday afternoon before fully 10000 people, and | quite contrary to expectations the wear CTS Of the crimson came out victorious l in one of the best games seen at the
 Yale field in long time. The final | score was 3 to 0, and when Hirsh, the last Yale batter had struck out thereby retiring the side, and ending the game,
 the contingent of Harvard supporters | leaped over the fence and bore the vic | torfOus nine on their shoulders from the l field. It is hard enough to defeat a 1 Yale nine in Cambridge, but to defeat
 it on the Yale field amid the yells of | ,000 Yale supporters is a twice harder | task, so the enthusiasm of the hundred
 Crimson rooters was no more than what
 should have been shown Their power
 full cheer, nine 'rahs with "Harvard' at
 the end. was to be heard nearly every
 minute, and was as strong as the noise ! that came from the throat of a Yale | body of men twice the size. The cheer 1 ing of the Yale men was very strong at times but it was not until Josh Hartwel jumped over the fence in the fifth inning that the great body of Yale grads" were stirred up to the greatest pitch From that time until the end of the game Josh" kept the west stand in
 one continued long cheer for Yale" The rooters of Old Eli were game to the
 end and cheered their team again and
 again until Hirsh ended the game in a
 weak finish
 The weather man is to be congratu-
 lated on being able to arrange for such
 q beautiful day as yesterday one that
 was ideal, both from spectators and
 players point of view.
 A cloudless day and cool south
 westerly breeze were the chief factors
 in the weather, making the best of
 baseball possible and making the game beautiful one to watch.
 As early as i clock the cars running out to the field began to assume a com mencs smant 2 ir and at o'clock the great crowd began 10 move to the scene of the game, every one wanting to get glimpse of the classes of alumni as they came upon the field and marched about 1 in their own peculiar style.
 Shortly after o'clock the class of '94S | entered the Yale field. headed by the 1 American band of tbis city. The class, | about 100 strong, were to a man attired l in blue coats, white hats and white | trousers, and made a fine appearance. | The men marched over to the Yale track | house and waited there about twenty | 
 This class was followed by the class of 97S, the members of which were at tired in white coats, trousers and hats The Wheeler & Wilson band of Bridge port preceded this class The band and | the 105 graduates of the class marched | to where the 94 Shelf. men were, and after exchanging cheers they moved to a position in deep center field, where they danced, sang, cheered and did a number of other things until they were joined by the class of '97 academic This class had the largest representation of any of the old classes there being about 200 old members back in New Haven. Pope's band from Hartford escorted the class across the field. Each member wore a Yale blue rough rider suit, a white hat with blue band, and white this costume with their large numbers making them the most con- spicuous on the field
 The classes joined hands and circled r. going in opposite directions, the blue coats against the white forming a very pretty sight These two classes were shortly joined by the classes of 1890 and 894 acad mic. both of which looked well II suits of white, The A. o. U w band the class of 1890
 The class of 80 with about thirty-flve was the next on the field, and vas led by Hatch's band of Hartford. Then the big procession of the classes vas started and lead by the class of '97S marched around the diamond and later ook their seats in the west stand.
 The six bands played as many differ mt tunes at the same time, and con- lined with the continual cheering the loise was enough to make the heart of he opposing pitcher drop with thud.
 The thousands of visiting commence | aent girls, all attired in beautiful \ owns, added to the brilliancy of the t ccasion, and made the scene a beauti- i ul one. Every seat in the north and 0 vest stands was occupied and the fifty l ent stand on the east side of the Id 4 5as one mass of humanity Il
