The parade of college and other Republican clubs in Boston last evening was a distinct success. The Harvard division, composed of about 1500 men, left Harvard square at 6.30, and, immediately on reaching Boston, formed in lines of eight and marched over the route announced in yesterday's CRIMSON. Arnold Scott '97 was chief marshal of the entire parade. Boston University led the first division, with Harvard second. Delegations also marched from Tufts, Technology, Boston College, Boston Dental College, and the Medical School. The second division was composed of various suburban Republican clubs. One of the unique features of the parade was John the Orangeman and his cart on a dray drawn by four horses.
The houses and hotels all along the route were well illuminated and decorated with bunting and flags. On the march through Beacon street, the parade was reviewed by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge from the balcony of his residence.
A pleasing feature of the parade was the entire absence of any of that conduct which is so apt to appear in events of the kind. The whole affair was carried on in a smooth and gentlemanly manner.
It is estimated that there were about 4000 college men in line, Harvard naturally being most largely represented. In the second division composed of Republicans Clubs there were perhaps as many more, making a total of about 8,000 men in line.
