"A letter dated New York, Thursday, says:
''The advanced ritnalistic mission chapel of
St. Sacrament, No. 1885 Broadway, was open-
ed this morning in due form. One feature.
however, of the programme was omitted
namely, the performance of the Trinity Church
choir. at the eleventh hour, as 1t were, the
presence OF the choir was forbidden, but by
whom does not yet appear. The chapel was
crowded to its utmost capacity, many OF the
congregation evidently being attracted from
motives of curiosity. The altar adOrnments'
were of the most gorgeous description, and
the blazing lights quite as profuse as those Of
st. Adams. The officiating clergy were Rev.
Messrs Bradley, Bruce, swope, Shackelford, !,
Brown and Parkman. The services consisted
of what the ritualists call low mass, or
rather series Of low masses, which may be
described as compound of the communion
service in the Episcopal Book Of Common
Prayer and the Roman Catholic formulas. The
chants were Gregorian and rather indiferently
sung. Another remarkable feature Of the ser
Vice was the presence OF the. Sisters Of st.
Mary, an Episcopal order, clad In black wells
and white colts, ornamented with crosses,
similar to those worn by the Roman Catholic
Sisters of Mercy. Their superioress Is known
