LONDON, Jan. 21.-In some respects
the ceremonies at the funeral of Car
dinal Manning were more Impressive
than those yesterday at st. Georges
chapel. Windsor castle. upon the occa-
sion Of the funeral of the Duke of Car-
ence. Today the services were invested
with all the grandeur of the Roman
ritual, and were attended by all the
pomp BETTING the last ceremony over
the body of prince of the church.
Fifteen prelates attended the funeral,
including Archbishops Walsh, of Dub
lin. and Croke, of CaShel.
The Somberness of the black draping5
were heightened by the black fog, and
1t appeared as though nature mourned
the loss of one so good anG great. Hun
dredS of wax tapers and gas jets shed
their light on the solemn scene, and dur

clergy ana the sisters in attendance
lighted additional taperS on either side
of the sanctuary. The whole scene was
altogether most striking and impress
Sive one, and this was especially the
case when 500 priests, marching two by
two, entered the oratory from behind
the funeral hangings under the dome.
wore their mitres and were richly ROBBED
There were present also representa-
tives of the BenedictineS, Franciscans,
CarmeliteS, Dominicans and other re-
llgious orders attired i'll their different
CARDS, each carrying an unlighted taper.
When the solemn mass of requiem
was commenced the Oratory was filled
by notable personages, representing the
church, the state and civic authorities.
The queen and the Prince and Princess
of Wales were represented by high mem
bers of their households. All the am
basSadors of foreign powers were pres
ent also. The coffin reposed in front of
the altar, snrmounted by the hat of the
cardinal. The altar was draped with
black, the only ornament visible being
a solitary gold cross. The singing of the
choir and the intOning of the priests was
simply superp, and rendered most re-
markably harmonious by the grand
pealing of the organ. Charles Santley,
the great baritone singer, sang the solos,
which were exquisitely rendered.
Bishop Hedley preached the funeral
sermon, opening his remarks with a
touching tribute to the late Duke of
Clarence and Avondale. He said that
an era had closed in the history OF Cath
ollcism in England with the death Of
Cardinal Manning, and new one had
opened. He made special reference to
the cardinals efforts to secure the Cath
Ollie education of children, and declared
that the struggle was not yet over. He
added that perhaps the hottest and
deadlieSt hour of the educational battle
which is raging throughout the world
would soon be fought.
Who" he asked, "shaIl lift the
lance fallen from Manning'S hands, or
wear the armor which Manning bore so
long and SO bravely? Cardinal Man
ming was never weary of saying that
England and Wales had never rejected
the faith, but rather had been robbed of
their allegiance to the holy see.''
The preacher recalled at length the
late cardinals eminent service for the
poor and In the causes of labor. temper
ance ard other social reforms. Pro-
ceeding, he said: Like st. Paul, Car
dinal Manning loved every one in the
bowels of Jesus Christ. The Holy
Father loved him and leaned upon him.
The fiery star has set, but the luminous
trail of glory which it scattered In its
passage across the sphere remains and
Will remain to gaze upon, and gazing,
to thank God for one who served so
Loyalty the Heavenly Father, and who
loved with such devotedness the Great
ures whom the Father loves"
At the conclusion of the service the
body of the late cardinal was removed
to the hearse. and the procession started
for Kensal Green cemetery. 1t was led
by the clergy and distinguished men,
bers OF the nobility, members of parlia-
ment. delegates OF temperance societies,
the labor bodies, etc.
Enormous crowds lined the streets
along the route, and all heads were
barred as the funeral cortege, one of the
largest ever witnessed in London,
passed along.
He was good to the poor" people in
the crowd were heard to exclaim. Hun
dredS of times was this repeated through
the vast crowd, many of the members
of which had personal knowledge of
the kindness of heart of the dead car
dinal, which had taken in people of all
religions. No higher praise could be
spoken of any man than that "he was
good to the poor" and the poor of Lon
don have good reason to mourn his loss.
AS the procession entered the ceme-
terry the coffin was borne straight to the
grave, which was an ordinary brick
lined one situated near the grave of
Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte. Here
there was brief ceremony. The
priests chanted the "Benedictus," a
prayer was said for the repose of the
cardinals soul, the coffin was sprinkled
with holy water and lowered into Its
final resting place. Then the vast
crowd slowly departed as the darkness
