dinal McCloskey Unexpectedly commenced an
address in English. He commenced by say

return thanks to the Papal delegates and to
the people who had attended in such num-

make Acknowledgements to you venerable
brethren and prelates, to you the reverend
clergy, to you the distinguished officials for
the State and city, to all for the honor that
has been conferred upon us by your presence
here.
This day, it would be proper for me to
make this acknowledgment and proper tor
me to say something on this solemn and in
teresting occasion, which has been the cause
of attracting within the walls Of this venerable
Cathedral such an august assemblage, 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 brought tn close, and would not
dare to venture, even if could, to tIespass
on your patience.
| will content myself with asking from you.
on my own behalf, your sympathy and your
prayers, and asking you to join with me,
first, in giving heartfelt thanks to Almighty
God, and after him to our most Holy Father,
the Chief Pastor of the Church and Vice Re-
gent of Christ ON earth, for their great aud
magnanimous favor which has been bestowed
upon us, and for which we have endeavored
to show forth our gratitude in the solemni:y
of this day.

to our Holy Father for the honor conferred
upon us ali conferred first upon the venera
