Tho advance guard of the Yale graduates returning to New Haven for their reunions will arrive in the city today and already the building about the center of the city display large flags showing the headquarters of the various classes.

 osborn hall is decorated with ban ners. showing it to contain the offices of the recent classes At the Tontlne a large banner with the numerals '93 is floating. and the fifteenth anniver- sary of this class promises to eclipse its former ones with the possible ex- ception of the sexennial. The decora- tons of the Edwards house. the class of '7S have already been remarked up on.

The colors ar orange and dark brown. too closely re sembing the Princeton colors in viev of recent events. The light turbans the men will wear while very pic turesque do not materially interfer with the comfort of the wearer Tn recent antlpathy of the local authori ties to bull fights may prevent the re unionlsts from running up against tn . real article, but member of the ad vance guard said last night that the lfNpttItu lo lllttl anu ONtIIbult hDill l pretty stiff propositions.
