New YORK, April 26.-Great prepara-
tions are making at the Cathedral for the
ceremonies Of imposing the beretta to- NOR
row. Carpenters are busy erecting a plat
form on level with the floor of the sane
tuary, which will extend from the chancel
several feet out into the body of The church,
and will provide accommodations for the
Archbishop and Bishops who are to take
part in the services. A throne has been
erected on the right of the sanctuary, which
will be occupied by Archbishop Bayley.
On the left OF the sanctuary is the Cardi-
nails throne, of gothic structure. fifteen
feet in height, which has been newly gild-
ed and its panels covered with scarlet vel
vet. The reredos will not be profusely
decorated. It is thought by those having
charge of the decorations that the hangings
of scarlet which are to be arranged before
the stained windows and between the
spaces above the screen will, together with
the masses of flowers to | Q used in Loquets
and emblematic designs, sufficiently beau
tify the sanctuary. The altar itself has
hangings in scarlet and gold bullion. The
vestments Of the clergy will increase the
brilliant effect produced by the decorative
hangings and the floral display, and the
scene will be made dazzling by food of
light from all the affairs. Vicar General
Quinn is besieged by throng of applicants
for seats, but all are turned away with the
answer that none but those already invited
can be admitted Every foot of space in
the Cathedral will be occupied. The organ
in the Cathedral is to-day undergoing care
full inspection.
