were held in the Brompton Orasory to-
day,

,crly impossible for tho structure to
contain II hundredth part OF the vast

last token Of respect to the dead prclate.
Notwithstanding tho miserable wealth
or, the city being surrounded by fog,
which seemed to penetrate with its
chilliness and dampness through tho
heaviest clothing, tho crowd at IN early
hour began to gather in the vicinity OF
tho oratory. and every minute it gained
IN size. 1t was composed largely OF

thick was tho fog that traffic in the
vicinity OF the oratory was brought to n
standstil Hundreds OF mounted police
men and constables OIL loot were pres
cnt to maintain order, but they were
seldom called upon to do more than
speak gently 10 the crowd to have their
orders obeycd.

where the body had been lying i'll state
during Yesterday, having been removed

tribute to the late Duke OF Clarence
and Avondalc. lie said that IN era had
closed in the history OF Catholicism in
England with the death OF Cardinal
Manning, and new one had opened.
He made special reference to the Cardi-
nails efforts to secure the Catholic cdu-
cation OF children, and declared that
the struggle was not yet over. He added
that perhaps the hottest and deadlicst
hour OF the education battle, which is
raging throughout tho world, would
soon be fought.

TO the hearsc. and tho procession moved
TO kensal Green cemetery. 1t was led
by the clergy, and included distin-
suIshed members OF the nobility. men,
bers OF parliament, delegates OF temper
ancc societies, labor bodies, etc. Among
the latter were representatives OF tho
lockers and stevedores' unions. Dcpu-
tailons from various charitable societies
were also included. Enormous crowds
lined the streets along the route and all
heads we're barred as the funeral cortegc
passed. The procession was one of tho
largest ever witnessed in London.
When the funeral cortcge reached tho
cemetery the burial services OF the Ro-
man Catholic church were performed,
anu then tho romans OF tho cardinal
we're inferred.
