rear, representing the arms. There is an ev-
ident disregard for economy OF space in the in
terior Of tho Cathedral It has
large vestibule, broad aiR'es, and
massive pews, but notwithstanding these
enc-oachments on space, the auditorium has
seating capacity for 1900 persons, and it il estl-
mated that on extraordinary occasions congre-
RatieL Of 1900 can be accommodated This is
lar beyond the capacity Of the Jesuit Church,
which up to the present has been considered
the largest Catholic church in the State.
