Yesterday was red letter day for the
Catholics of this diocese and particularly
for those OF the Cathedral parish In Provi-
dence.
II was the fourth anniversary OF the con-
secration of the stately Cat thedral and was
made memorable In the annals Of Catho-
licity In the diocese by the visit OF His
EmineDce Cardinal Gibbons, the first Car
dinal ever to visit this diocese, who came
to lay the corner stone Of the new Catho-
lie Hospital I'm the afternoon.
A solemn pontiticsl high mass was cele-
brated at the Cathedral at 1880 O'Clock.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Harkins was the cele-
brant; Very Rev. M. McCabe, V. g., as
sistant priest Rev. Farrell O'Reilly was
deacon; Rev. Dennis M. Lowney, sub
deacon, and Rev. p. A. MCGEE master OF
ceremonies. His Eminence Cardinal Glib
bons was present and occupied the episco-

He was attended by Rev. George w. De-
vine of Baltimore, his private secretary,
and Rev. p. ii. Brennan, 8. j., OF st. Jo-
seph's Church of Providence.
After the gospel, Cardinal Gibbons as
cended the pulpit and read the gospel OF
the day, and with 1t for his text, he
preached an eloquent sermon. His voice
penetrated the vast recesses of the spa
cious temple without evident exertion,
The choir under prof. Hesse, rug
mented to 100 voices for the occasion,
rendered the musical portion OF the mass
beautifully, alternating at some parts
with the boy choir of the san ctusry.
