Freshman Celebration.

11 TO 4 AND 8 TO 7.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yesterday evening the freshman class mustered in front of Beck, and preceded by a band of twenty pieces marched down Harvard street to the yard, where a pyrotechnic display of much variety and substance took place amid the vociferous cheering of the '89 enthusiasts. The line of march was then taken up and cheered on by the triumphant strains of "Yale Men Say," and "Marching Through Georgia," the freshman made the walls of the old dormitories echo and re-echo with the sound of their prolonged "rah's." Transparencies bearing the names of the freshman nine and trenchant sarcasm upon Yale, the CRIMSON and others who expected to hear of defeat at the hands of the 'Blue' freshmen were displayed. After the yard had been traversed and re-traversed, the transparencies and the nine took up their position upon the steps of University, where cheers for Harvard, the individual players, the classes, the games, and especially for '89 were indulged in for some time. The meeting in the yard then broke up, and a huge bon-fire was started on Jarvis, which was still smouldering at the time of going to to press. The whole celebration was conducted in a most orderly way, and great credit is due the freshman for the moderation displayed.
