The Celebration.

Last evening Harvard saw a celebration which fitted well with Saturday's victory. It was hearty and enthusiastic and at the same time orderly. The men did their best to show their appreciation of the great victory by illuminating their rooms and turning out in full force to join the procession. The shop keepers in the square, too, make a brilliant exhibition of red drapery and red lights. In short all Cambridge was one blaze of glorious red.

The procession began to collect in front of Beck Hall at about half past seven. A good sized drum corps and a number of fifers turned out; they were soon joined by men with torches and by eight o'clock there was a splendid crowd assembled to greet the team. Up it drove on a tally-ho coach amid showers of sparks from Roman candles and cheers from the crowd. The procession then lined up, headed by Fairbank, L. S., and Boardman's band. The fife and drum corps followed, headed by Carpenter, L. S.; after them the coach with the eleven, and then the torch-lighters. The procession marched into the square which was filled with illuminations and draperies; and then through the new gate, twice around the yard and over towards Beck again. Turning down Quincy Street, the procession stopped in front of the President's house, and the eleven drove into the yard. President Eliot spoke a few words in congratulation, saying that the victory was especially gratifying because Yale made such a hard fight. The crowd, led by Cumnock, cheered loudly and the procession moved on. As it passed Professor Shaler's house it gave him a good cheer. The statue of John Harvard, covered this time with a bright crimson robe, was cheered, and the band played Fair Harvard. The procession marched on up North Avenue to the tune of "Yale Men Say," "Marching Through Georgia," and that ditty which wishes Yale bon voyage. Professor Hart was on his door step to meet the eleven. He got up on the coach with the eleven, and supported by the radiant Cumnock, made a short speech. He was glad the eleven had won because they had worked so hard and because Yale had worked so hard, too. He was also glad that they had won because he believed in athletics. The procession loudly cheered Professor Hart, then marched to Jarvis field where a large crowd was waiting. In the middle of the field was a roaring bonfire, around which the procession marched. The eleven was then heartily cheered, S. Dexter, L. S., leading the cheering from the coach. When Cumnock arose to speak it seemed as if the crowd would go wild. When the noise was at last over he said, "Well, fellows, we have beaten at last. I want to thank you all for the splendid support you have given the team; I also want to thank the coaches for all they have done; I want to thank Dr. Conant for his invaluable services; and finally. I want to thank the second eleven. I hope this is only the beginning." Dean was also wildly cheered, and he made a short speech, prophesying well for the base ball. Lee told how hard and faithfully Cumnock had worked the eleven. Dr. Conant, the substitutes and the coaches were cheered. The eleven drove once more around the bonfire and stopped while Adams and Sears spoke a few congratulatory words. The procession finally marched down to the square and broke up at Leavitt and Peirce's.

The success of the celebration is due largely to the celebration committee, consisting of Parker, Randol, Williams, Brooks, Perkins and Lowell, '91; Saltonstall, Rantoul, Hunt, Cummin and Forbes. '92; Ellsworth, Robb and Burgess, '93.
