pressive ceremonies of which the ritual
of the Catholic church is capable. Arch

sary uf his elevation to the episcopacy.
The scene in the cathedral of the Holy
Name, on Superior and State streets,
crowded as 1T never had been before
with the faithful laity from all parts of

occupied by the acolytes, sat remark
able array of other prelates in attend
ance, representing dioceSeS from the
Atlantic to the Rockies, and from the
British possessions to the Gulf of Mex
leo. In the front peWs, just outside the
sanctuary, were the diocesan and I'm.
vited clergy, to the number of ais.
Priests, as we'll as prelates, from all
over the country had come to do honor
to the archbishop Of Chicago. The cei

Full CanOnical Vesture,
and with the priests acting as escort to
the prelates the procession passed on
into the church. To the resounding
strains OF Meyerbeer's "Grand March
of the PROPHETS" the sacerdotal pro-
cession marched up the center aisle.
First came the acolytes bearing the pro-
cesSiOnal candles. After them followed
Rev. M. l.. Mackin, the cross bearer.

Next in place and rank were the mon
signeurs and bishops. the latter wear

cape, and the f0ur-cornere purple
beIetta. Each prelate was attended by
a chaplain. Next came the four arch
bishops. each in the purple robes
of his office. Archbishop Feehan
was last of all. and as
celebrant of the mass was preceded by
the deacon, subdeacon and other officers
of the mass, clad in the heavy gold-em-
brOidered vestments worn during the
holy sacrifice. Arriving at the sanct-
uary the archbishOps were conducted
to elevated seats. On the grand altar
were the miters, fashioned in white and
gold, and then the officers of the mass
began vesting Archbishop teehan as
celehrant of pont'fical high mass. On
his feet they drew the violet stoc ckings
and slippers. Then with proper rubri-
cal ceremony they clothed him in suo-
cesslOn with amfce. alb, girdle, stole,
tunicle, dalmatic and chasuable. In
silver ever he now washed his hands,

assembled the pulpit and delivered IN
eloquent eulogism on the prelate whose
jubilee was being celebrated. The splen-

musical portion of the celebration.
