THE CATHEDRAL DECORATIONS.

the decoration OF the Cathedral or st. Patrick
for the ceremonies or this morning were completed
last evening. The sanctuary now blazes with
scarlet color, although hangings of the Cardinal
color have been used more sparlngy than was at
nrst intended. The hemisphere, covered with
silvery granues which was at first intended for
the background OF a sunburst, Is TO be used as
such. IL has been kept In It's position at the back
OF the altar, but is now garDed with scarlet clotn,
which has embroidered on ir in gold large tas-
sells depending from series OF con-
volved cords. Above the altar Is
large crucifx. This has been draped and
eanopied with scarlet cloth, broioered with gold.
The arrangement OF this drapery Is very skilful,
and Il made to serve partial screen to the
smblematic window, which Is at the rear OF the
sanctuary. The walls which surround the sane
tuary are left plain, except that festoons Of fabric
OF scarlet and gold undulate their tops.
Away, up at the roof, above the large win
dow az the rear or the church, Is another
series Of = festoons. Between this and tue
arapery OF the cruci1x are the words re
Deum Laudamus,n formed In gas jets. The
cardinals throne is panelled with velvet OF
darker color apparently than that OF the hang
lngs, while Archbishop Bayley's throne is
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

rhe body OF the Cathedral Il unadornod. Outside
the sanctuary the only part OF the Cathedral which
has been touched by the decorators is the front OF
the galleries and the choir, which form one line.

scarlet cloth, and at their central point Just

AL this beauty will be enhanced to-day-the
tolor toned down at certain places-by the ap.
position OF the gold aud hues OF the robes OF the
prelates and priests; and It is, perhaps. fact
that II they were more numerous and varied the
new eomponents or the scene to-day would, with
