divisions of the procession occupying place

O'Clock, the societies having all united, tn
imposing pageant commenced its marc
over the following route: Baltimore stree
to Eutaw, Eutaw to Madison, Madison t
Charles, Charles to Franklin, and Fraukli

lNe First OiutSiOn.-The first division
comprised all the German Societies, heade,

and his aids Captain Casbmyer's Calvary
lou men, and the congregations of two fifth
5000. " ~

| the congregations of the remaining church
es, all under John T. Piquett, Marshall
and numbering about 5000 altogether.
Third Division. third division was
composed of the Good Samaritan and ST
Benedict colored societies, connected with
81. Francis Xavier parish. There were
about $50 in line, and marshaled by Cor
nelius Thomas, aided by Henry Davis and
Daniel Davis. The division was headed
with st. Ignatius Band. Each society car
rled transparency, on which was the fol-
opia's greeting at his jubilee" The head
OF the procession reached the Cathedral at
ten minutes before ten o'clock. AS the
columns filed past, the members revere ntly
saluted the Most Rev. Archbishop, who
was seated on the grand stand with many
members of the clergy and prominent citi-
zens. A mass meeting was held at III
o'clock, at which speeches were made by
Judge Mason and Col. F. X. Ward, after
which the congratulatory "Letter of the
Catholics of Baltimore in mass meeting as
sembled, to our Holy Father, Pope Plus
IA.." was read, and the curtain fell upon
the most magnificent demonstration ever
seen in Baltimore
New YoRK.-The twenty fifth anniver-
sary of the election of Plus TX. to the chair
of Peter was celebrated with enthusiasm
on the 10th by the Catholics of New York.
We do not now refer to the religious fea-
lures of the day - the services in the
churches, the solemn masses, and the ex-
ultant Te Deums-but to the popular dem
onstration, the outdoor exhibitions, the
spontaneous display Of individual feeling,
massed together in groups, that were to be
seen In every quarter of the city, from river
to river and from Harlem to the Battery,
New York for the time being looked like a
city of the Old World in the olden time,
its windows illuminated with Popes and
with the dumb preaching of religious en-
blem or scriptlral motto. Professions
frightened the streets, banners waved in
the breeze, flags and streamers floated from
lofty steeples, garlands festooned the
houses, fireworks blazed and cannon thun-
dered-and above all, and through all,
strains of jubilant music were heard, now
loud, now low, as the waves of sound
swelled and sank alternately. The Papal
colors-white and gold-met the eye per-
petually, and "Pius IN" seemed to be
everywhere on banners and bunting ia the
daytime, and at night overhead, when the
fireworks, freighted with that
10 Ulnr
the starry heavens. What made the dem
onstration the more remarkable and signi-
fcant was the absence of all concert. The
ecclesiastical authorities issued no order
for public celebration, and gave no init
nation of their desire that any such thing
dividual action alone, the effect of COM
mon impulse stirring the Catholic heart to
its depths, the glad selling of an opportu-
nifty to express affection and do honor to a
Pontiff worthy of his lofty destiny and
supreme position. The vista Of Third !
street was the most singular any street in
this city ever presented before, and trans |
ported one in Imagination to some of
those old towns in Germany where the
streets on gala days are alive with waving
colOrs and impossible with the throng of |
pedestrians. The various German flags
the variety is perfectly bewildering-
all represented. There were little ones
rican flag paled it's Intellectual color beside
the blazing banner of Augsburg, and
Prague, and Bohemia, and Bavaria. The
churches We're thronged all day Friday,
The 10th, especially at the High Masses,
put there was no general demonstration
beyond what is mentioned above; each
parish seeming to have had q celebration
IN its own account. We cannot help re-
sretting, supposing it to have been posi-
ole, that there was not an effort made to
mite all these small professions into one
grand one, which would undoubtedly have
numbered some 20, 900 or $4,000 men.
WAsHINGToN.-The Catholic celebration
II this city, on the 10th was an imposing
sfiair, and was participated in generally
~ all the Catholic populatian of the Dis
rict. The societies, twenty in number,
ormed in procession at Carroll Hall, at
Xix o'clock, and, accompanied by bands of
music, marched, via Pennsylvania avenue,
o Capitol Hill, where large stand had
s zee erected near st. Joseph schoolhouse.
There were over three thousand persons in
inc, and the display on the avenue was
by an immense concourse af
