The Celebration.

Last night the undergraduates took advantage of the first opportunity which has offered itself to celebrate the victories of the University and Freshman crews and of the baseball nine over Yale in June. The celebration, which made up for its tardiness by great enthusiasm, began in the Yard with the cheering of the eights, the four, the nine, the captains, and every man who helped to win the victories. Then, headed by the College band, and a barge containing most of the winning athletes, the students formed a procession and marched around the Yard through Harvard square to President Eliot's house. Fire works, bengal lights, numberless torches, and the mass of cheering men marching to the tune of "Up the Street," formed a picturesque and lurid scene of enthusiasm and excitement.

President Eliot congratulated the men in the barge and hoped to see other winning crews next spring. After cheering the president and singing "Fair Harvard," the procession marched to Professor Hollis's and when he finished a short speech continued to Solider's Field. When the barge had been drawn near the pile of barrels intended for the bon fire, Trainer McMaster made a speech in an optimistic vein. All the members of the nine and crew were called on for speeches and were received with cheers. The fire was then started, and after more cheering, the crowd broke up.
