| some Of the Arrangements Already Made-The Torchlight Procession.
 The college vacation is proving far from a vacation for those arranging
 for the bicentennial celebration at Yale this fall. The matter of furnishing
 lodging to the guests is becoming a serious question, although the plan to utilize steamers in the harbor may ! prove something of way out All the accommodations in the local hotels have been engaged for long time. The | committee in charge has had responses 1 from neighboring places to inquiries as | to possible accommodations and every"
 thing from Woodmont to Branford l Point has been placed at it's disposal 1 It is probabl that some of the visitors will be sent as far as Madison. All
 unoccupied rooms of the "Consolidat-
 ed' road have also been placed at the | disposition of the committee.
 The torchlight procession on the evening of Monday, october I, will | test the walking powers of many re- | turning grads" It will form on the campus, of course, march out through | the Phelps memorial gateway, then down College street to Chapel, down 1 Chapel to Church. along Church to Elm, passing the City Hall, where it
 may be reviewed by the city officials. It will move up Elm street to York, across York to Crown down Grown to Orange, out Orange to Trumbull, pass ing President Hadley's residence; n street, across Sachem to Hillhouse ave-
 une; thence down Hillhouse avenue to
