carmine inks. The text CT the ticket is in

Numbers Of those who had tickets found
great difficulty in gaining an entrance
through the crowd in the streets. In the
immediate neighbOrhOod the way was
blocked with human beings, all anxious to
get a chance Of seeing the parties in the
church. The interest manifested was so
great that representatives Of every sect of
the Union were present. A number of

commencement of the Ceremonies.
At 1910 o'clock the head Of the process
sion emerged from the sanctuary, forty
rfr,-eal },
socks and berettas and white supplies,
leading, bearing the procession cross and
tall taperS; then followed long lines Of
elergymen, who, after making genufiexions
before the higL altar, passed down the cen
ter aisle, which was soon packed. When
the supliced priests had all taken their
places, the representatives of the various
religious Orders in the diocese began to
emerge from the vesjry in their picturesque
habits. When the procession had all been
arranged in proper places, there was
an interval Of ten minutes, dur
Ing which the church was filed
with joyous music from the choir.
The procession of pTelates at length emerged
from the vestry with slow and measured
tread. The audience rose as the spectacle
began to unfold. The scene was one which
New York will probably never witness
again. Boys with picturesque robes and
swinging censoTs, and dignitaries in dark
purple, preceded by archbishOps and bish-
ops, the procession closed by celebration
of mass, Bishop Laughlin, Of Brooklyn, and
Rev. DR.. Mc'Glenn, assistants, Rev. Father
Mclean, deacon, and Father KeOn, sub
deacon. Then came Cardinal McClOskey
and the Papal ENJOYS, DR.. Waldi and Mon
signor ROncetti. and lastly, the tall figure
of Count MaTefoschi, of the Papal Noble
Guard, in his dazzling uniform.

and clergymen stood at the altar steps, and

prelates present, having a pastoral staff,
which was carried by an assistant. The
officiating bishop, after inceDsing the altar
three times, sat down with the deacon aud
sub-descOn. The bishop recited the Kyrie
and intoned the Gloria in Excelsis, which
was afterwards sung by the
choir. The collects were read by
the celebrants, the epistle by the sub-dea-
con, and while Bishop Laughlin read the
Gospel, the entire congregation rose to
their feet. lie then Chanled the words,
credO IN lnl1R deJHi, and in a low voice
recited the remainder of the creed. When
it was concluded, the celebrant, together
with the assistant deacon and sub deacon,
sat down until the choir had finished.
Bishop Laughlin returned TO the altar
where, after the customary dOmiHus rO6is-
cum and OTemuS, he proceeded
to read the prayers at the ofiertory.
The Deacon and Sub Deacon then prepared
the sacred vessels and bread and wine.

Vanced with censors and the altar was in
censed by the celebrant archbishop, the
bishops rising and removing their mitres;
the priests and entire congregation also
