gott, and at the same hour the Very Rev.
]. 4. Sullivan, V. g., preached from the
Gospel Of the day. Vespers at 8 P. NJ,
and the solemn procession Of the Blessed
Sacrament closed the exercises. The mu-
sic under direction Of Mrs. NJ. E. Whit
taker was very fine. At the morning SER
vices the audience room was densely
packed with people and the other servi-
ces were well attended.
At st. Alphonsus' Church mass was
said at IA. NJ. Lamblotte's mass was
sung at the second mass by q choir under
Prof. Seitz.
The services at the Church OF the I'M
maculate Conception were singularly
solemn and impressive. The decorations
OF the grand altar presented q most beau.
tiful appearance, and were in exquisite
taste. The brilliant rays OF the new chan.
delier enhanced the imposing and tasteful
ornamentations. The chandelier was
presented by the Catholic employees Of
Hobbs, Brockunier & Co.'s glass works,
and was gotten up by Mr.. VIM. Russell.
The chandelier is fine specimen Of art

The benediCtion, a most difficult compost
ton, as rendered by this choir and quar-

smoothness and purity Of tone. Taken in
all there has never been more brilliant
or successful rendition OF Hayden's diff.
cult mass given in our city.
The Fourth Street NJ. E. Church pre-.
scented beautiful appearance on yesteI-
day, On the front Of the large organ was
a handsome floral motto, HE Is Risen,"
and on the screen back OF the pulpit, was
pure white cross. The effect was de-
and reflected great credit to par
ties who made the decorations. Many
were attracted 10 this church to hear the
music, which certainly was grand. The
large chorouS choir, under the direction
OF Dr., 7. Il. Logan, with Miss Annie Logan
at the organ, rendered the usual Easter
music in truly artistic and mastery

Ing. The sermon by Rev. Q. T. Masden,
on the Resurrection" Is spoken OF as his
best effort, and for one hour he held his
audience in the closest attention, while he
faithfully and earnestly portrayed the
