At the alumni dinner, which ‘the party also at- tended, some very happy Speeches were made. Sident Eliot tutroduced President Hayes. THE PRESIDENT'’S REMARKS. Mr. Hayes arose with apparent diffidence, standing forsome momenis before commenc- ing tos) ik. The association favored him with pine vigorous “rahs,” waved their handkerchiefs at him, and in many other ways expre.sed their enthusiasm and re- spect for him. He blushed likea boy, and evidently was laboring wider intense emo- tion. When he had obtained sufficient con- trol over bis faculties to enable him t> pro- ots he said slowly and with evident dim- culty: “Graduates of Harvard University—This is yourday. I may not, | oughtnot, take up any pa Je of your Valuable time. You will. therefore, exeuse me, I am sure. if I take my seat after saying in tne bri-fest way what I feel in my heart. { assure yon that i havea very grateful Appreciation of this hea: y greeting.

It is one of those things which has been discussed very extensively of late, and justly so, for we have arrived at a pe- ricd in our history where we are confronted bya multitude of problems which demand of public men not only correct sentiment, buta thorough knowledge of the things they have to deal with.

Secretary Schurz was followed by Profes- sor Lowell, Senator Bayard, Joseph F. Choate and P. Bishop Lee, the occasion being brought to a close by singing ‘Auld Lang Syne.” The Presideut ype ake A had in the meartime withdrawn and returned to Boston to be present at THE BANQUET GIVEN BY THE CITY OF BOSTON, at which there were present over two hun- dred gentlemen, many of them eminent in litical life and in various professions, ju- dicial, literary and military. The President, in response to & toast, said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: I wish that I were prepared to speak on some of the toptes of the hour which wou'd interest this large assembly, but all that Iean say to- night must be such unconsidered sentences as occur to me at the moment of speaking. I Would wish if possible to convey to you the very-deep satisfaction I have fellon my visit wo the city of Boston. I know, indeed, that this reception—this welcom —is not for me individually.
