churchmen accompanying him on his
party as met at Lamy junction by Gov.
Thornton, Judge Laughlin, Mayor Easley,
Archbishop Chapelle, Messrs. Ortiz y Sa-
lazar, Luciano Baca, F. B. Delgado, Jose
Segura and other members Of the recep-
tion committee, and when the handsome
special train conveying them reached the
A., L. & s. F. depot an enthusiastic shout
of welcome was sent up.
Members of the reception committee
who had remained to arrange the car
riages met the guests as they left the car
and opened way through the dense
thrcng, and soon the visitors we're COM
fortably placed in vehicles and start
ed toward the plaza. The procession
was very attractive one. Five hundred
torch bearers lighted the way, marching
on either side of the main procession,
and two brass bands supplied the music.
Along the route bonfires were lighted at
intervals. All the Catholic institutions
were brilliantly illuminated as we're also
many private residences. The crest of
old Fort Marcy heights gave down blaze
of light. Arches composed of profus-
ion Of flowers, tapestries and richly il
lumined by Japanese lamps, spanned the
line of march at several points. The
first was at Antonio Alarid's house,
and was inscribed ''welcone."
beautiful arch was erected in front
of Mrs. W. H. Manderfelds home.
Opposite St. Michael's college was
an arch from which hung an illum-
mated frame showing excellent pic
lures of the cardinal on one side and
Archbishop Chapelle on the other. When
the visitors passed the historic San Mi
guel chapel there was mingling of the
ancient and modern that must have left a
vivid impression on their minds. The
sacred edifce was brilliant with lights.
On the modern stone coping in front
burned chemical fires of many colors and
above the din and noise of the crowd
could be heard the deep, touching tones
of the old chapel bell, that bell that has
called the people of Santa Fe together for
centuries!
All along the line of march crowds of
people blocked the way, and upon arriv-
ing at the plaza another cheer of greeting
went up from the dense crowd.
Proceeding to the archiepis copal resi-
dence the visitors were escorted into the
reception room and here, after the re-
/ ception committee headed by the gov.
ernor had formally welcomed them to
the City of the Holy Faith, the crowd
quickly dispersed.
To-day the visitors have spent pretty
much all of their time Sightseeing. At
10 O'Clock the 1st regiment, N. M. N. G.
band, from Albuquerque, gave a plaza
concert which many enjoyed and at
O'Clock plaza concert was given by
Prof Perez band. At S o'clock the
visiting prelates took carriages and re-
paired to St. Katherine Indian school
where royal dinner was served.
