After the singing of the antipaon. the
procession reforms and moves up 10 the
high altar, the choir chanting as it goes
the responsory "Ecce sacerdos magnus"
behold a great priestD On reaching the
sanctuary the chancel choir moves TO the
lady chapel, aud the clergy take the places
assigned to them within and without the
sanctuary ratings. The Archbishop, ac-
companied by his assistants, goes to .
prie-dieu prepared for him al the foot of
the altar steps in the middle OF the sane
tuary, and there kneels, while Mgr.
Quinn, standing at the Gospel side OF the
altar. intones the Verslcles, to which the
choir respond, ending with the prayer,
God the father and ruler Of all the faith
full" After the prayer the Archbishop is
conducted TO the throne, which has been
vacant since the death Of Cardinal Nc.
Closkey. There he seats himself and
and takes possession. Then the clergy,
two by two, ascend the steps OF the
throne and, kneeling, kiss the ArchbIsh-
ops ring. in formal recognition OF his au-
thOrity. Meanwhile the choir sing st.
Casimir's hymn to the Virgin, the day be-
ing the feast of St. Casimir in the Cath
Ollie calendar. Following this comes the
chanting of the antlphOn, Verslcle and re-
Spouse Of the titular saint of the church,
st. Patrick. The Oheisance OF the clergy
throne to the altar and at the close Of the
responses chants the prayer OF st. Pat
rick. This done he returns to the throne
resumes bis seat and awaits the beginning
of the mass.
The celebrant of the solemn poutiiical
mass will be Archbishop Elder, of ON
cinnati, who Is now on his way bearing
the pallium from the Pope. There seems
special fitness in the choice OF Arch
bishop Elder for this mission. He was a
pupil OF the late Cardinal at the College
OF Mount st. Mary's, Emmlttsburg. 1t
was Father Elder, as he then was, who
first induced the present Archbishop Of
New York to enter on his studies at Mount
st. Mary's, and as he was the boys spirit
ual director there. Archbishop Elder
will have Tor assistant priest Father
kearney, rector OF the old st. Patrick's
Cathedral; deacon, Father Mclean, rec
tor of st. Peters, and snO-deacon, Father
COrley, rector OF the Immaculate Con-
ceptiOn, Yonkers. Archbishop COrrigan
will occupy the throne during mass. OPP
posite him, in a chair on a raised dais.
will be seated Archbishop Gibbons, to
whom speedily is to come the dignity and
honor OF the Cardinalate. The other
Archbishops and Bishops, MonsignOri aud
dignitaries will occupy seats on either
side of the sanctuary. The mass will
proceed as usual, the chancel choir sing
ing the Gregorian parts of IT and the Ca
thedral choir, under direction OF Mr.. Pes
cher, the other parts. Mass over, Arch
bishop Ryan will ascend the new memorl-
al pulpit. the last gift of the late Cardinal,
to the Cathedral and preach from it for
the first time. BY a curious coincidence
the same prelate was the first to preach
from the old pulpit at the opening OF the
Cathedral.
After the sermon comes the final cere-
mony of the comforting of the pallium.
Archbishop COrrigan changes his robes
for full pOntifcal vestments, such as he
uses when celebrating solemn mass.
Archbishop Gibbons vests in cope and
mitre. The pallium on the altar yelled
with silken veil. Going to the altar
Archbishop Gibbons takes his seat. Arch
bishop COrrigan proceeds to the altar,
keels before Archbishop Gibbons and
makes aloud his profession of faith. The
Archbishop of Baltimore takes the pal
lium and places it on the shoulders of
Archbishop Corrlgan In the name OF the
Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost, of the Holy Apostles and the Holy
See.
Then Archbishop Gibbons takes off his
mitre and moves to the Gospel side OF the
altar. Archbishop COrrigdn rises, goes
TO the altar and, turning 80 as to face the
Archiepiscopal Cross and the people,
gives his blessing to all present. The
procession then forms and retires to the
6acristY.
