grating. This, as well as the radiators,
is to be bronzed. This hall Will be lighted

stone was laid on. Sunda y, May 1 3, by Cardi-
nal Satoni amid great ceremony. Its
construction was carried on in the face Of
a great many difficulties. In digging the
foundation several springs were found, and
it was only Safuer considerable work that
an absolutely safe foundation could be
made. During the first few weeks the con.
tractor was greatly hampered by steady
rain, and in preparing the foundations sew
eral horses were injured SO badly from slip
ping that they had to be shot. Fortunately,
however no lives were lost, and the hall
stands today the largest and most complete
of its kind in ttse city.
