The Procession.

A PLEASANT NIGHT, AND A LARGE TURNOUT.

Chief Marshal Storrow and his aids were mounted.

Contrary to expectations, there was no disturbance in the yard, last night.

The Law School men, in their wigs and gowns, were received with hearty applause.

No attempt was made to maintain anything like military order in the different classes.

At Dr. Gannet's school, on Chester Square, the young ladies were unusually demonstrative.

The traditional "Black Bottle" occupied, as usual, a prominent position in the proceedings.

The procession, as a whole, was superior to anything that has been seen in Boston this year.

The "first families of Boston" were liberally represented upon the sidewalks along the route.

While the men were straggling back to college in small groups, several shop awnings were accidentally burned.

When the column was passing over the lower part of Washington st. desertions began to become frequent.

The rumor that the Drum Corps was to have a champagne supper at the Vendome proved to be unfounded.

Several wagons with fire works were in line, from which bombs, roman candles, and mines were constantly discharged.

Mr. Blaine watched the Harvard men with great interest, and stood with head uncovered while they passed before him.

The Technology men, about 600 in number, in gowns and Oxford caps, of Grey and cardinal, presented a fine appearance.

Owing to the fact that the Harvard delegation disbanded in town no systematic rush was held. There were several little private rushes, however, in the Port, in which honors were pretty evenly divided between '87 and '88.
