CAMBRIDGE CELEBRATION.

The great feature of Tuesday, the first day of the Cambridge celebration was the meeting in Sanders Theatre in the evening, at which there were fully 1500 people present. Dr. John Fiske '63, was the orator of the evening. Other speakers were President Eliot, Reverend Dr. Alexander Mackenzie '59, Hon. John Read '62, and Bishop Lawrence '71. The Cambridge Orchestra rendered a variety of selections at intervals during the evening.

At the exercises of the Grammar Schools in the forenoon the Reverend George H. Whittemore '60, spoke on Harvard, and at the exercises of the High and Latin and Manual Training Schools in the afternoon, President Eliot was the principal speaker.

At half past nine yesterday morning the classes assembled in the yard, and marched, headed by the College Band and Drum Corps, to Harvard Square where cars were waiting to carry them to East Cambridge where they were to form. All the way down in the cars there was a great deal of enthusiasm and cheering which was kept up during the half hour's wait on Thorndike street while the parade was forming.

Shortly after 11 o'clock, as announced, the first division started, and was followed by the second division, made up of Harvard men. The Harvard division was headed by the College band of nearly thirty pieces, under the efficient leadership of A. H. Howard '98, who wore a crimson sweater, on the front of which was a large black and white woven shield with the motto "Veritas." The rest of the band were dressed in blue sack coats, white duck trousers and straw hats. The drum corps of fifteen men followed in similar costume. The classes marched in order, dressed in duck trousers and straw hats with their class ribbons. Ninety-six was headed by Alfred Borden, the chief marshal of the second division, with E. W. Ames as his aid. E. G. Knoblauch, the Class Ivy Orator, was in the front ranks carrying his class's huge graduating cap of orange and black. Ninety-seven was led by Marshal J. W. Dunlop and his aids, E. N. Wrightington, Arthur Beale, W. L. Garrison, and Arnold Scott. A large white placard, on which were the words "What would Cambridge do without us?" was carried in the front rank. Between '97 and '98 came the feature of the procession-Old John with his donkey and cart mounted on a four-horse dray. Ninety-eight was led by Marshal Norman W. Cabot and his four aids, P. S. Dalton, S. L. Fuller, Gerrish Newell and J. L. Knox, who had blue and white toy balloons in their button holes. The first ranks of the class kept time with rattle bones, and most of the men wore colored puppets stuck on their straw hats. Leading the Freshman class came three fellows on small donkeys, hired at the last minute near where the parade formed. Behing them some dozen fellows carried crimson umbrellas, lettered in white to spell "Harvard '99" and "46-96." The Freshmen had the largest representation in the parade of the four classes and were very enthusiastic.

The stores and houses by which the procession passed were handsomely decorated. The spectators lined the sidewalks, filled the windows, and even crowded the roofs to get a good view. They seemed to appreciate the antics of the Harvard contingent and responded delightedly to the repeated and varied cheers of the classes. Old John had his silk hat on and was in his element; in fact he was so carried away by the excitement of the occasion that he distributed the contents of his cart gratis.

After the long countermarch on North avenue, which allowed the six divisions of the long procession to see a portion of what was ahead and behind them, the procession was reviewed by Governor Wolcott beside the Washington Elm, and by Chief Marshal John Read opposite the Soldiers Monument. After being reviewed the 500 Harvard men marched into the yard by the north gate, and after hearty cheers for Harvard, Marshal Borden and Band Leader Howard, dispersed.
