greenery, one at the Welch hall gate
 way, larger one at Phelps gateway,
 and others at Battel Chapel vestibule
 and at other places. Seen from the
 green, this colonade will be remarkably
 beautiful. Each window of each col
 lege building will have a Yale blue
 streamer hanging from it's sill, giving
 the campus gala effect. Great can
 vas bicentennial shields have been pre-
 pared, which will be hung in conspicu-
 ous places on all the college buildings.
 Old South Middle, the only remaining
 building of the old brick row, will have
 special treatment, and will be emboW-
 cred in greenery and bunting.
 At night the illuminations will be
 striking. Thousands of Japanese lan-
 terms will be hung everywhere on the
 campus and in College street. Besides
 these there will be an electric light dis
 play, all of the buildings being outlin-
 ed with lights. Festoons of lanterns
 will hang between the trees on the cam
 pus and from the buildings. Inside the
 campus there will be tall beacons set
 in pairs about the quadrangle, each Of
 which will be filled with blazing ma
 terial each night. As the green will likewise be profusely illuminated, the
 scene at night will be extremely pie
 turesque.
 It is now anticipated that fully seven
 thousand Yale men will be in New Ha-
 ven for the celebration. From the re-
 turns already received from the class secretaries, fully four thousand grad
 uates are expected, and it is more than
 probable that a thousand more will
 come. This great body of Yale men
 will be added to by the friends and families who will accompany them and by the large number of sightseers who will come to New Haven from neigh boring cities. It is estimated that there will be over ten thousand visitors here in the week. To accommodate this throng New Haven's hotels and restau- rants will be taxed to the limit. All of the hotels were chartered months ago, and many of the boarding places taken up. A general call has been sent out to private houses for the accommodation of guests, and several thousand per sons will be taken care of in this way. All of the hotels at the neighboring shore resorts will keep open over bicen- lGIlIlldl WcCh, anu iAl 5C huihcSiR ''A out-of-town persons will find this the pleasant way in which to obtain lodg- ings. Private yachts will bring scores of parties here, and there will be sev- eral floating hotels in the harbor. The New Haven rialroad will have two of its Sound steamers anchored in the harbor. and these will be filled with Yale guests.
 The great torchight procession on Monday night Is now well in hand. There will probably be about six thou sand Yale men in line. Twelve bands from New England and New York city have been engaged for the evening" In the line will be many barses and floats and the humorous part of the specta- cle will be taken care of by the under graduates, The students will march in classes, each costumed to represent some period in the history of Yale and the country, and the costumes have now arrived. They represent the dress of the Colonial times, the Revolution, 1872 and the Civil war period. The great body of graduates will march in simple Yale blue caps and gowns.
