BALTIMORE, February l2.-The Obsequies
OF the late Archbishop Spaulding to-day
were very grand and imposing. Several
delegations of cOlOred Catholics, from a dis
lance, were present.
An immense throng blocked all the streets
adjacent to the Cathedral, as early as nine
o'clock this morning, to attend the funeral
ceremonies of Archbishop Spaulding. At
each gate leading to the Cathedral a strong
force of police were stationed to aid the
Young Mems Catholic Friends Society i'll
carrying out the programme of arrange
ments and preserving order.
About $50 A. nj. the different Catholic
societies began arriving, and by the aid OF
the police in opening the crowd, they
reached the places assigned them, along
Charles and Franklin streets. The Papal
Zouaves, company of young men from the
men, were uniformed in gray, trimmed with
red, and bore small rifles. The other So
cieties present were the st. Vim
cents, St. Patricks, st. Peters, St
Ignatius', st. Marks, Star of the
Sea, St. Joseph, Holy Cross, st. Alphonsus,
and delegation from the Church OF the
Holy Martyr; also a delegation of twenty
members from the st. Francis (cOlOred)
Church; delegation of forty from the Col
Ored Catholic BENEVOLENT Society, and a
delegation of the same number of the YOurg
COlOred Mems Benevolent Society OF Wash
ingtOn. A delegation of fifty arrived from
the Young Mems Catholic Society OF Phila-
delphia early this morning, and were re-
ceived by the st. Patricks Society, and
were escorted to the Cathedral, where they
were placed in line with the other societies
At $3.50 the side door of the Cathedral
was opened to pew-hOlders and the reporters
of the press and very soon the Cathedral
was filled in every part except the space
reserved for the attending clergy. The
formation of the line was concluded about
9:45. In few moments the Cathedral bell
was tolled and also the bells OF the other
Catholic churches
The Papal ZOuaves moved up above the
front gate and formed in double file, with
arms reversed. The cOrtege then descended
headed by three young men, the centre one
carrying large crucitix, and those on each
side lighted candles. These were followed
by the priests of the different churches,
chanting mathis, and dressed in official
robes of their office.
Next came the bishops, followed by ten
clerical pall-bearers belonging to the bish-
ops council. These were followed by the
coffin. borne by eight civic pall-bearers, VIZ:

V. Power, j. M. Getz, Joseph S. Hernsler.

Immediately following came Rev. Father
Dougherty, chancellor of the archdiocese,
and Rev Father Lee, secretary of the de
ceased. Rev. Father COskery, vicar gem
eral of the archdiocese, was not present, on
account of illness.
While the procession moved the priests
and seminarians chaAted the "liserere."

played funeral dirge. As soon as the
coffin was placed on the catatalque, numer-
Gus candles were lighted on each side, and
the service began with chanting of psalms.
which continued over an hour and half,
during which there were four absOlutiOns.
The bishops moved around the coffin, and
the celebrant and his assistants took their
positions.
The requiem mass was celebrated by
Bishop Whelan, Of Wheeling During the
ceremonies, Mozarts grand requiem mass
and ether appropriate music was rendered
by the cathedral choir and the orchestra.
The sermon was then preached by the most
reverend Archbishop McCloskey, of New

SOUL etc. The reverend speaker then
coNmenced:
"Once again, beloved brethren, this metro
politan See of Baltimore is deprived of its
chief pastor; this mother of churches is
<Ivov. in fflya of
hood" and then proceeded to deliver a
most eloquent and touching discourse. At
the close of the services the coffin was taken
by the clerical pall-bearers, preceded by the
bishops, to the basement of the church.
From the entrance of the basement
through long succession of arches to the
CRY pit, under the main altar, on each side OF
the passageway were ranged priests and
seminarians, each bearing lighted candle |

when the pall-bearers reached the vault the
coffin was rested in front. The Misererc |
was again chanted, after which Bishop |
