1887 MAKES MERRY.
Reunion Banquet at Hendrie Hall Last
 Evening.

The class of 1867 held it's ninth re- union banquet last evening at Hendrie hall. Forty years have passed since the class of '67 received their sheepskins, but the men seem to be as youthful locking and contented as ever. There were forty-four members out of sixty eight living, present. That grim reaper, death, has been kind to the class, only thirty-three out of an initial member ship of 101 have passed over into the Great Beyond.
 Dr. Charles H. Goodman was the toastmaster, and good one he was, too. Among the noted men of the class who were here for reunion were Bishop Vincent of Ohio, Attorney James Flanders of Milwaukee, Dr. Mathew D. Mann who performed the surgical operation on President Me- Klnley in vain attempt to save his life, when he was shot at the Pan- American exposition, The two leglsla- tors of the class, United States Senator Newlands of Nevada and United States Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island, were not present, althought at the last reunion Senator Newlands graced the festive board

YALE CELEBRATES VICTORY
BONFIRE A FEATURE.
Campus Filled With Lively Graduates After Reunion
 Dinners.

A blaze of glory, redfire, a bonfire and fire water celebrated Yale's victory over Harvard last night on the cam pus, the green and in the streets. Everywhere were seen automobiles ill., ed with happy graduates in costume, and the uproar increased as the reunion banquets sent forth each class mem bers to participate in the revelry It was surely wild wet night along the coast.
 A huge bonfire was ignited on the campus and the exercising flames de- lighted the eyes of the large crowd of New Haven people and friends of the seniors here for commencement. who had gathered around the fences and in the windows of the dormitories to watch proceedings.
 From the steps of the new library many fiery orations were delivered dur- Ing the evening and an over jealous member of 1901 climbed upon the pedes- tai of President Woolsey's statue and attempted to arrest that revered gentle man.
 Rockets shot through the air passing through the open windows of the dor mitories and now and then hitting some celebrating alumnus. Wagons with loads, on which, were graduates, were slowly drawn around the campus. liquid refreshments.

1892 HOLDS REUNION.
One Hundred and Twenty-seven at Last
 Evenings Glass Banquet.

The class of 1892 held their quindecen- nial dinner in the Arnold gymnasium on York street, last evening. 127 men sat down to banquet served by Myn- heer White. The class membership at the time of graduation was 1855, and death has not played much havoc with ti. The reunion was a very enjoyable affair, the music good, and the speak, ing better. In 92 the Glee club was practically made up of just seniors and most of the club members were back. Thus the singing of the old college songs was excellent. An interest ing incident was the reading of tele- gram from the 1892 reunion class of Harvard, acknowledging the greetings of Yale, '92, and wishing them felicity, prosperity, and posterity. The first two wishes were heartily applauded, but the last one provoked serious discus sion, the general sentiment being that 1t was not wise to take to heart the posterity suggestion.
 H. A. Bayne acted as toastmaster, and called on o. H. Bronson, E. J. Ridgway, editor of Everybodys Mag azine, w. c. Ivison, Abraham Meyer, Percy Finlay, and o. A. Schreiber Mir. Ridgway was especially clever, con- vulsing more than once with laughter, his fellow classmates. Lee McClung, the old football player and the present treasurer of the university was in the class of '92, and was evidently enjoy ing himself, last evening.
 The toast list was as follows:
 Toastmaster-H. A. Bayne.
 Milestone XV-O. H. Bronson. The Romance of Reality-E. J. Ridg-
 way, When We Were Twenty-one-w. c. Iv-
 ison.
 Wisdom in the West-Abraham Meyer. Ninety-two at Home-Percy Finlay. The Immortal Genoese-O. A. Schrie-
 be..
 The reunion committee was compos- ed of the following men:
 A. H. swayne. A. S. Barnes, Edward Boltwood, James E. Wheeler, secre- tary.

Many Members Are Prominent in Pub

lie Affairs.

The class when it grad uated had a membership of 150, of whom 124 are living. Every man living in the Pacific coast states was present, there being nine members of the class residing in the far west
 There are probably more members of the class engaged in educational work than in any other profession. Among these are Professor William Lyon Phelps, Professor Robert N. Corwin, Professor H. B. Ferris and Professor Graves, of Yale university; Professor Carlton L. Brownson, professor of Greek in the College of the City of New York, and Professor w. A. Setchell, of the University of Callfornia. Profess sor Corwin was captain of the varsity football team in his senior year. The class Is we'll represented in the legal profession by Thomas Penny, the ex- district attorney of Erie county, New York, in which Buffalo is situated MT. Penny represented the state in the trial of Leon Zolgosz, the assassin of Will liam Mckinley; also by Judge Alfred Colt, of the supreme court of Connecti- cut, and by Judge J. Fl. Hume, of Chi cago. Frederick Trevor Hill was pres ent, and, it might be said, was a class representative in law and literature. James R. Sheffield was president of the board of fire commissioners in New York city at the same time Theodore Roosevelt was on the police commis- sion.
 Of course there was only one logical toastmaster, and that was Billy" Phelps, "a hale fellow well met with his classmates, and the idol of the un- dergraduate body of the university Professor Phelps presided and provok- ed the merriment of his audience with humorous stories, told only as he can tell them, while calling on the men to respond to their toasts.
 At the conclusion of the banquet a large, beautiful loving cup which had been presented to the class secretary, George Hill, of Bridgeport, three years ago, by the class, was passed around and the contents quaffed by all. The toast list was as follows:
 Milestones-John c. Diehl.
 The Still Small Volce-S. Knight. Echoes-A. R. Pritchard.
 The Second Score-H F. Perkins. The Golden West-J. I. Rosenzweig.
