New York, October l5.--The Ion,
night-watch OF the three members o
the society OF st. Vincent DE Paul
who guarded the body of Cardina
MeCiosky In the great cathedral las
evoring, at length came to an eud
Tho first beams of the morning SUI
had hardly guided the steeples o.
the churches, when q procession o.
| priests with uncovered heads entered
the cathedral and knclt before the
altsr. The prayers for the opening
Of tho new day~the day on which the
body of Americas first cardinal was
TO be committed to the earth-were
said, and the priests walked slowly
down the central aisle on either side
Of the catafalque aud returned to the
sacristy. Two hundred policemen
kept the great crowd that had assem-
bled shortly after 8 a. m, in order.
The doors OF the cathedral we're
Openeu at DAD, auu
THE WAITING THRoNo
were invited to enter.
AZ the hour for beginning the SER
vices was reached, the crush outside
the church became greater, and the
streets for several squares Ia every
direction were blocked with CARR
ages and masses of people. The po-
lice had oil they could do to preserve
order.
The scene within was grand and
impressive. The dead body OF the
cardinal had, during the night, been
placed in the mahogany cofhn which
had been prepared for its re-
cepiien. A heavy drapery of
vclvet, bordered with fringe
hung about the coffin and rods Of
gold, extending the entire length of
the sofiin, oruamented the sides. The
body had been 30 placed that
THE HEAD OF THE DEAD
was raised above the level OF the coffin
and was easily seen from below. The
pews and aisles were now crowded
with people aud at least 5000 persons
were gathered within the walls of the
cathedral before 10 o'clock. While
the throng was awaiting the opening
of the solemn, requiem services, the
papsl zouaves, in gold lace aud bright
uniforms marched down the centre
aisle aud took up positions about the
catalogue. A moment later
the doors of the sacristry were flung
open and long procession of white
ROBBED priests flied down the steps to
the seats directly in front of the high
altar. There was q moment of
HUSTLED EXPECTANCY
as Father Lammel moved his hand
and the stiffness was broken by the
priests as they chanted the Office of
The dead. The 200 voices of the
priests and boys, mellowed by the
distance, sounded sweetly to the
ear of the waiting congregation.
The boys ehanied tne line of the
psalm and the priests the second.
Then came the singing of Psalm
Niucty-five, but 1t was not until the
priests came to the "Misererc" that
the full richness aud beauty of the
well-trained voices OF the chancel-
choir were brought out. In all prob
ability, nothing like the singing OF
these priests and boys
HAS EVER BEEN HEARD
in the city. First came the singing
of the Latin lines by the boy tenors,
10 which responded the harmonized
voices of the priests, aud the
notes of the chauters fioated up
ward among the great arches of the
cathedral, aud, being reflected by the
pillars, were echoed backward and
forward until they died away in the
distance. Several more psalms:were
then sung by the choirs in unison
after which came the chanting Of the
benedictus
While the office for the dead wa
being chanted, Father Anacletus,
franciscan friar, assisted by the Rev
Father Kelley, passed arount
the catafalque, swinging 1
ceaser from which perfumel
incense arose. Later on, Father Tilly
a dominican priest performed tn
same office. When the chanting cam
to an end the priests resumed thei
seats and short period of waitiDl
followed. The great organ peale'
forth the
SOLEMN AND STATELY VOLUNTARY,
preceding the mass, and two alec
ii:es, bearing lighted candles In thei
hands and followed by another pro
cession of priests, came slowly GU
from the sacristy and bowed befor
the high altar. Then came the bishop
In their sombre-hued garment
and, finally, the monsigneur
aud the arch-bishops. Then "a
was ready for the choir, numberin
over 100 voices, which chanted In
requiem mass.
Archbishop Carrigan was the celel
rant Of the poutificial mass, Monsil
Moor Farley was the assistant, FathC
Connolly, deacon, and Father Nj
Geau, sub deacon. Fathers McDonne
Kelley, Lgyelle, Dhker aud Metthear
of the cathedral household, were Il
masters OF ceremonies; the Rev
Chas. Cotton and Thos. j. McClosks
/ served the mass; the Rev. Thos.
I Mcllhanney and Fathers Ailwal
and McGrath acted as cha
: lains. The sermon w
: preached after the mass al
at the conclusion of the serm,
preparations were made for the co
Guiding rites, by the bestowal
