 Thus was brought to a close this great Yale festival. The four days just past will be ever memorable in Yale's and New Haven's history, The occa- sion was greatly heightened in interest by the presence of the nations chief Moreover the tribute paid to Yale was of international character. England, the mother country, Continental Eu rope, and the far East contributed their share of honor when their representa- tives all of commanding eminence in ii he walk of academic renown, marched ,Is delegates in the procession, and Participated in the closing functions of the celebration. The church, Protest ant and Roman Catholic, sanctioned the day with the dignified presence of famous preachers, priests, and prelates.
 The country's most eminent men ex- tended greeting to the New England institution, while Connecticut sent it's governor with his staff and troops to act as escort for the head of the na- tion. Schools, factories and stores were closed, while the townspeople, great and small thronged the streets, and crowded to do honor to their chief. vis- itor the president. A finer October day than yesterdays could not well be imagined, and all remarked the fact that hardly cloud had hidden the sun by day or the moon by night during the four days which have been given over to the celebration.

GENERAL RULER OUT.
Relieved of His Command at Aldershot

 and Retired.
 London, Oct. 23.-General Butler has already given up his command at AL dershot, according to an announcement in to-day's army orders.
 It appears that the general was not officially notified of the decision until late last evening, the notification being delivered at his official residence at AL dershot, by special messenger from the war office, at about the same time that it was issued to the newspapers.
 The afternoon newspapers to-day agree that the dismissal of General Butler from the command of the First Army corps and placing him on half pay was inevitable.
 London, Oct 24.-Winston Churchill M. F., in the course of 8 speech at Leicester last night, which is much commented upon to-day, declared that the war in South Africa had become "an unmitigated nuisance"
 'The danger is greater to-day than it was two years ago." MT. Churchill declared, "and the means of meeting the strain is being seriously reduced" He urged the government to relieve Lord Kitchener of the heavy detailed work and prepare for new campaign with refreshed army and a definite plan,"

Dr. Mitchell arose in acknowledgment of the intro auction and then taking seat in large comfortable chair proceeded to read his address from manuscript.
 He spoke of the beauties of this new building, it's architecture and of the ap- propriateness of the chain of names which surrounds the upper exterior Of the hall. These names of clergymen
 who founded Yale college he said were names that the university was proud to honor He spoke of their service to +be university and of the times when +he college was founded. He referred to the bloody times which accompanied +he opening of the eighteenth century as of the present century and said that m education can do better than to n1ant the idea that no social wrongs can he corrected by blood letting.

 The Hyperion theater was packed to the doors. stage and house alike, when at half-past ten o'clock yesterday
 morning the commemorative exercises
 of the bicentennial were held. The au-

President HahIey's Reception.

 The last official function of Yale's never to- be- forgotten bicentennial eel ebration took place yesterday afternoon from 5 until o'clock in the new Yale dining hall, known as University hali, when President and Mrs. Hadey, in company with President Roosevelt and his two daughters, bade goodbye to the thousands of Yale guests.
 In order to accommodate all who de- sired to attend the reception the inn mense tables used during the week were removed The dressers usually set in long row along the center of the hall were set against the north side of the hall, and from these a buffet lunch was served by the usual attend- ant corps of walters.
 Immediately after the dedication of Woodbridge hall the attendant specta tors crossed the new campus and en- tered the magnificent new assembly hall. The Symphony orchestra, placed in the west gallery, rendered well se lected programme.
 Soon the advent of va1e's chief exec utive was very noticeable. He was en- Enthusiastically greeted by the assembled multitude, and, with Mrs. Hadley led the way to the dais which had been erected midway of the hall and on the south side.
 Closely following President Hadley came President Roosevelt, accompanied by his two daughters. He was escort ed unbeknown to those present by half a dozen secret service men, the pick Of the department. Immediately on his taking his place beside President Had ley an ovation was accorded him that was second only to the one given him yesterday morning at the Hyperion theater when he received his degree.

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Magnificent Musical Treat Yestcr-
 day.

day.
 One Of the rarest musical treats it has been our good fortune to enjoy was the concert of the Boston Symphony orchestra at the Hyperion yesterday afternoon. The participation of this orchestra in the bicentennial exercises was due to the generosity of Henry Lee Hfgginson, of Boston, a fellow of liar yard university, and upon whom Yale conferred the degree of doctor of laws at the morning exercises.
 This organization is without doubt the peer of anything of it's kind in America and may well rank with the orchestras of Dresden, Vienna, Munich or Berlin.
 William Gericlle, its conductor, pos sesses a wonderful control over his men. Some twenty first violins play as one man Particularly was this notice able in the staccato and pizzicato mo- tives in the Presto movement of the symphony. In the Liszt "Festkaenge" there was marvellous delicacy of col bring displayed, not altogether by the strings, but with the wood and brass wind as we'll The latter choir was most excellent.
 The soloist was Miss Milka Ternina In the aria from "Fidelio" she display ed large, brilliant soprano voice of the grand opera type. but it was not until in the Prayer from "Tannhauser" that the true soul of the artist was fully revealed. Her dramatic passages are very strong, while in pathetic con- trast she guides her voice almost to anguish. Her German is of the Bava- rian dialect, showing her study to be that of the schools of southern Europe.
 The entire orchestral work showed great familiarity with the various scores, and it will remain anevent long to be remembered in musical circles here.

SCHLEY MAY TESTIFY TO- DAY.
Every Indication That He Will Take
 tho Witness stand.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Admiral Schley is expected to take the witness stand in the court of inquiry which is investi- gating his conduct in the Spanish war some time during the day tomorrow. This announcement is justified by the progress made to-day in the examina- tion of witnesses called to testify in the admiral's behalf Eight witnesses were heard to- day and there are only three more names on the list preceding the name of the admiral himself. Of this three only Captain Clark, of the Ore- gon, is expected to testify at any length. It is not probable that the admiral will be called before the afternoon session. He will be last of the witnesses to be heard in support of his side of the con- troversy It is now considered proba- ble that he will be on the stand for two or three days.

Princeton Beats Orange go to 0-Pcnn-
 sylvanse Wins.

Princeton, N J., Oct 23.--The Prince ton varsity football team defeated the Orange Athletic club team to-day by a score of 20 to O. The Orange players put up a snappy game in the first half and held their opponents down to II points. Their chief fault was off-side play, for which they were penalized five times in this half. Both teams played ragged football in the second half. Princeton played a fast game through out, but her interference was poor at times and the defence between right guard and right tackle showed decided weakness The only features of the game were long runs by Foulke and Pearson Captain Pell is still nursing an injured leg and was not in the game day.
