that beneath each bit OF crimson ribbon
there was a heart bowed down by weight
Of woe For the first two hours there was
almost nothing but crimson ribbon de-
trained and il could be seen at a glance
that Harvard was suffering from the keenest
secret sorrow that il has experienced since
the defeat of Jay B'Ges Rinehart at the
recent primaries.
From the time Of the departure OF the
FIRST special train, which left for New Haven
at five minutes TO s o'clock in the morn
ing, until half past nothing at all this
morning, the station platform was gay
with blue and red. There were red Ameri-
can beauty roses. calico and plain, red
pennants, red ~cravats, red steamer rugs
and sweaters.
Besides the hourly regular trains that
had run all the forenoon, there were thirteen
special trains, loaded to the water line,
half OF which were solid Pullman. Also
there were three trains Of private cars
and the Harvard Club had two trains con-
sisting OF ten sleepers each.
The first Of these trains TO return were
the day coach trains and they were weighted
down with crimson and gloom. Some OF,
the Harvard crowd sven managed to catch
the regular train that left New Haven for
the Great White Way at 1854 in the afternoon
and with set faces they caught subway
trains for Brooklyn. Hoboken and towns
Like that.
As the clock approached : the private
car crowd began TO get back mid the
greatest display of furs this side Of Bronx
Park. There were sablee and white fox,
bearskin and beaver, and now American
Beauty roses began to give way a bit to
the clusters of double violets. Among
the private car arrivals was Harry Payne
Whitney's party. who had gone up on the
car Wanderer, the Bright Star, filled with
the friends Of Harry Black, and II. c. Goes
Pilgrim party.

began to tie the crimson to the third rail-,
so far as quantity was concerned. The
smell of violets was in the air which. as the
evening wore on, began to merge with the
fragrant, tender odor OF crushed. young
mint leaves and the wood alcohol blossoms
and h perfect beauty OF the early rose
souse.
Down the line at 8 o'clock came a happy
band of one dozen assorted Manhattan
Indians, each brave and furclad squaw
carrying one of the new artificial bears that
glee. A broad shouldered Indian ad-
dressed as Tommy carried a big q that
must hsve been the father and mother OF
all the baby bears. The near animals were
deoked with blue ribbons and the only
things that WED with them in the matter OF
decoration was an aggregation called, ac-
cording to the badges they wore, the A. n
G. Association.
The badges consisted Of white silk ro-
settles somewhat smaller than the top OF a
-four barrel and trimmed with psyche
pathic tinsel. The "A. c. one OF the
badge bearers explained, stood for Apple
pie and Camembert Cheese Association,
headquarters unknown. |
OF the IS 600 persons said to have been at
the game there must have been 10000 scat
tered around Manhattan after the returning
New York contingent had merged with the
near c~ollegians who got on the Joo when
the department store whistles blew the call
to the hall room boys to put the cheesecioth
covers on the ribbon counters.

on the winning side. as ever. They had

Some Of the foo tball fever also worked
into the sporting gentlemen congregated
Forty-second street and Broadway. Jimmie
Rothwell, brother of Young Corbett, sported
a blue tie; Danny Maher, but one day back
from dear old Dublin, had his valet lay
George Considine wore only his blue dia-
monds. The only Harvard man and proud
OF it in the Metropole was Charley Paquete
OF Springfield, Mass, who is the barkeep
and says -Whatn y'have, gents?' as only
a Hahvahd man can. Charley said he

saw the blue patches on the rear elevation
Of the Dutch boy costumes, a yell broke
out that showed that the audience realized
that Bessie's heart was in the right place.
The only special decorations noticed in
the restaurants were the big blue bows o
the floral horseshoe in Rector's. The floral
piece was a Horse Show week decoration,
but when the score came in the blue rib
hons were added. The restaurants began
