the noon lunch Of each day the Recitation Of the
Rosary of the Blessed Virgin followed, led IN esciS

but on the second Sabbath three masses were said
in the main cabin and two in the second cabin Tho
priests officiating in the first were Father H. Sorin.

Cross Father John A. McCulIum Of Brooklyn and

In the second cabin. Bishop Dwenger recited msss
for the sailors, and subsequently, at second
mass gave instruction to the Pilgrims
When Father DeaIy found 10 necessary 10 hold ser
vices in the main cabin some apprehension was feat
that obstinate rst-class passengers might raise Oh
ectons but the singular appearance OF the devotees
created no remark whatever. The main cabin was
occupied by strangely mixed crew, and AZ they
pursued the even tenor of their way, disturbing
none and beng undisturbed, some strange scenes
were the consequence at the several hours devoted 10
medtations and prayers. On last Sabbath n'ghI ioe
instance, Father Dealy and the ladies among tho
Pilgrims counted their beads and recited the Rosary
of the Blessed Virgin at one table, while several
French ladies and gentlemen played cards at the ad-
Joining one; two New-Yorkers INDUCED IN dominoes;
several Spaniards played keno. while Ma'iemolselo
de MOisset sang the Jewel Song from Faust At tho
other end of the cabin. Devotion under these c'r-
cumstances would appear matter Of vain effort;
but the Pilgrims have the happy faculty of shutting
themselves ont from outside interference
Possibly this may convey the erroneous idea that
they have held themselves secluded from the rest or
the passengers On the contrary. the Intercourse
with all has been most unreserved and genial. ana
none have moro heartily engaged in the various
sports than the Pilgrims. The only comic song sung

comically was it sung too At concert gotten up W

programme for the "Gendarme Duet" but owing

ferred. much to the regret of the Pilgrims, with
whom. particuar,y the Bishop, they have estab-
lished the most amable relations. Learning that
they were theater managers, the Bishop iDnocently
enough told them how highly he commended the

plays, but severely condemned the representation OF

Some sort of misunderstanding arose early in the
voyage between the Captain and Bishop Dwengef
as to the rights of the Pilgrims in the second cabin.

Something have said previously may lead to the
inference that the Pilgrims will visit Psray-le-Mo-
