the decoration OF the Cathedral or St. Patrick
for the ceremonies or this morning we're completed
last evening. The sanctuary now blaZes with
scarlet color, although hangings Of the Cardinal
color have been used more spanngly than was az
nrst intended. The hemisphere, covered with
silvery granues which was at first intended for
the background of o sunburst is not 10 be used as
such. IL has been kept In It's position at the back
OF the altar, but is now CARRIED with scarlet cotn,
which has embroidered it in gold large tas-
sells depending from series OF con-
volved cords. Above the altar is
large crucifx This has been draped and
ranopied with scarlet CLOTH broioered with gold.
The arrangement OF this drapery Is very skilful,
and Is made to serve as q partial screen to the
smblematc window, which Is at the rear OF the
sanctuary The walls which surround the sane
tuary lett paiu, except that festoons of fabric
Of scarlet and gold unduate over their tops.
Away up at the roof, above the large win
aow at the rear OF the church, is another
series OF :, festoons. Between this and the
arapery OF the cruci1x are the words 'Te
Deum Laudamus,n formed in gas jets. The
Cardinals throne is paneled with velvet OF .
darker color apparently than that OF the hang
lngs, while Archbishop Bayley's throne Ii
eanopied with cloth whose hue Is
somewhat akin to that or the Tyrian
purple. AL the lights had not yet been
placed In the sanctuary when the reporter left

scarlet CLOTH and at their central point Just over
the middle aisle OF the cnurcn, two very hand

AL this beauty viii be enhanced to-day-the
color toned down at certain places-by the ap-
position OF the gold aud hues OF the robes OF the
