high altar, passed down the centre aisle which
was soon packed.
When the supplied priests had all taken
their places, the representatives of the various
religious orders in the diocese began to emerge
from the vestry in their picturesque habit.
When the procession had all been arranged
IN proper places, there was an interval Of ten
minutes during which the church was filed
with joyous music from the choir.
The procession of prelates at length emerged
from the vestry, with slow and measured tread
The audience rose, and as the magnificent
spectacle began to unfold itself, the scene was
| one which New York will probably never
again witness.
Boys with picturesque robes, swinging CEN
sors. and dignitaries in dark purple, preceded
the Archbishops and Bishops. The procession
was closed by the celebrants of the mass,
Bishop Laughiin OF Brooklyn; Rev. Dr.. Nc.
Glynn, Assistant; Rev. Father McGean, Dea-

Cardinal McCloskey, the Papal ENJOYS, DR..

Mobile Guard, in his dazzling uniform.
Cardinal McCloskey and Montelietta knelt at
the Epistle side of the altar; the Archbishop
OF Baltimore sat on his throne ON the same
side; the officiating Bishops and clergymen
stood at the altar steps; and mass was com.

at the otfeftOry.
The Deacon and Sub Deacon then prepared
the sacred vessels and bread and wine, and the

with censers and the altar was incensed by the
Celebrant, the Archbshops and Bishops rising
and removing their mitres and the priests and
entire congregation also rising.
At this time the church was . level sea of
heads, from right TO left, and from the sanct-
uary to the doors. The right, left and centre
aisles OF the church were packed as fell as
they could hold with people who were glad to
get standing room.
When the bell tinkled to announce the
opening of the canon or solemn part of the
ceremony, the people standing made
an attempt to kneel but were unable
to do 80, they, were massed
50 tightly together, and the very unusual
spectacle was witnessed OF hundreds standing
up during the conservation.

the curious ceremony Of giving the pax or
kiss OF peace. It is not exactly kiss, but an
inclination Of the heads together while the
hands rest on each others arms. The pax was
given from one to the other until it passed
along. to right and left, all through the
crowded sanctuary.

part OF the ceremony commenced. Cardinal
McCloskey rose and knelt at the left hand side
OF the altar. The Archbishop of Baltimore
stepped d,wn from his throne and kpelt At
the Epistle side. The audience rose with per
ceptble excitement, and some had the bad
taste to crowdu up amongst the cleigymen in the
sanctuary.
