Station early last evening IL was eVluent
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 rimson ribbon de-
trained and il could be seen at a glance
that Harvard was suffering from the keenest
secret sorrow that it has experienced since
the defeat of Jay B'Ges Rinehart at the
recent primaries.
From the time of the departure OF the
hrst 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 Amer
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 even managed to catch
the regular train that left New Haven for
the Great White Way at 3:54 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 amid the
greatest display OF furs this side OF Bronx
Park. There were sables 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
