Mass was solemnzed by Bishop Lynch, aud
the sermon OF the day was preached by Inc
Rev. q. P. Northrop. The music was espe-
cially fine, about forty Of the trained pupils OF
the suuday-school mlngling their fresh and
youthful voices in the joyful strains appropri-
ate to the occasion.

At this church the decorations were confined
TO the altars, which were protusely adorned
with natural flowers. High Mass was cele.
brated by the Rev. G. P. Norlhrop, the pastor

fine, the regular choir being assisted By Heve-
raj accomplished singers. In the morning,
KalliwodR's Mass was sung, together with
Bordese's Hgc dies The Incarna atus (tenor
solo) was charmingly rendered, and the so.
prano and basso singing was conspicuously
good throughout the Mass. In the afternoon,
Rossis vespers, with Rossini's Tdnta'n Ergo,
Beethoyen's Regina Col,, and Lambillotes
Hcec dies, were sung. The delivery OF The
Mortuus Est (basso selo) in the last-named
piece was admirable In every respect. Mad
| anne Barbot, the organlst of The church, had
selected, as We have shown, music which is
both beautiful and difficult, and 1t is due to her
| to say that the execution Of 1t would have re-
hected credit upon any metropolitan choir.

The new and beautiful interior of this hand
