Harvard Celebrates.

About 6 o'clock a telegram came from Amherst announcing the result of the game. The news of the victory spread quickly among the students, and preparations were at once made for giving the nine a reception worthy its achievements. Notices were posted that barges would be in readiness to convey into town all who wished to go, and the hour for starting was fixed at 8.45. During the time that the men were waiting for the barges, the disagreeable drizzle that had lasted all the afternoon changed into a constant and heavy downpour, but nothing daunted, nearly 300 men prepared to make the trip to town. On the arrival of the teams, it was found that there were accommodations for less than two-thirds of the crowd assembled, and a lively scramble for places ensued, resulting in a resort to the horse cars on the part of a large number.

The party arrived at the Albany Station some 20 minutes before the train was due, and whiled away the interim by cheering, singing, and listening to the Brass Band, whose efforts at this time were confined for the most part to bass drum solos. The more prudent among the students took advantage of the wait to explore the adjacent hostelries for sand wiches and other refreshments. At quarter to eleven the train rolled in. A scene of wild confusion ensued. The members of the nine were borne in triumph to their barge, while a second short but decisive fight for seats in the other wagons took place.

The procession, now augmented by a platoon of herdics and some open barouches, then took its way to Beacon street and Brookline bridge. Luckily the rain had ceased, and the display of red fire and rockets was not interfered with. Arrived at the college, the party was met by the undergraduates who had remained in Cambridge, and a procession was at once formed, headed by the band. Amid a blaze of red and green fire, and the flashing of Roman candles the column marched up to the main entrance of the yard, only to find that the gates had been shut against them. Baffled, but not discouraged, the men counter-marched, steadily keeping up the refrain of "Yale men say," and disbanded in front of Holyoke. A rush was made for the yard, where singing and cheering was started, interrupted by occasional calls for a "bonfire." No bonfire was forthcoming, however, and the tumult gradually subsided, until at 1.30, the hour of going to press, the yard had become quiet and almost deserted.
