When the bell tinkled to announce the
opening of the canon, OF solemn part of
the ceremony, the people standing made
an attempt to kneel, but were unable to
do SO, they were massed so tightly to-
gether, and the very unusual spectacle
was Witnessed of hundreds.
STANDING UP DURING TEE NsEQR ALTON.
Towards the end OF the mass was, lEt1 O.
duced the curious ceremony Of '|Ctivinp
Pax. . or the ''Aiss Of Peace" It is not
exactly kiss, but the inclination of
heads together, while the hands rest on
each others arms. The PAX" was
given from one to the other, until it
passed along, to the right and left, all
through the crowed sanctuary.
When the mass was finished. the in
teresting part OF the ceremony began.
Cardinal AIcCloskey rose and knelt at
the left-hand side Of the alter, and the
Archbishop of Baltimore stepped down
from his throne and knelt at the epistle
side. The
AUDIENCE ROSE WITH PERCEPTIBLE Ex-
CTTEMENT,
and some had the bad taste to crowd up
among the clergymen in the sanctuary.
Ab-Legate Mgr. Roncetti stood beside
Archbishop Bailey, and in loud, clear
voice, read the message in Latin from
Plus Papa, to his venerablis frater, the
Archbishop of Baltimore, setting forth
the reasons which induced him to confer
the Cardinalate on Archbishop McClos-
key, and at the close handed him brief
authorizing him to confer the berretta
on this
NEWDY-APPOINTED PRINCE
of the Church. The Archbishop, hav-
ing replied in Latin, passed the brief
over to Father Mclean, the Deacon of
the Mass, who then read it. Count
Marefoschi then surrendered the ber-
retta to Mgr. Roncetti, who handed it
to Archbishop Bailey, who then walked
over to the Cardinal and placed the cap
on his head, at the same time address
ing him in Latin as s'Eminentia t1a."
The Cardinal made suitable reply, also

Just before intoning the ''Te Deum,''
Cardinal McCloskey unexpectedly COM
menced
AN ADDRESS IN ENGLISH,
saying that he had two duties to per-
form: first, to return thanks to the Papal
delegates, and to people who had at
tended in such numbers. He continued:
cit is also our duty to make ac-
acknowledgements to you, venerable breth-
ren and prelates; TO you, the reverend
clergy; to you, distinguished officials of
the State and city; and to all-for the
honor that has been conferred upon us

would be proper for me 10 make thls
acknowledgement, and proper to say
something Of the solemn and interesting
occasion which has been the cause OF at
tracing within the walls of this yener-
able cathedral such an august assembl-
age; but / regret to say that my feeble
strength forbids it, and that [ would be
unequal to the task, and, besides, the
ceremony has been protracted. and is
not yet brought to close; and would
not dare to venture, even II | could, so
trespass on your patience. / Will con-
tent myself with asking from you, on my
own behalf,

and asking you to join with me, first,
with giving heartfelt thanks to Al
