CORPUS CHRISTI
at the Catholic Church Yester-
day

Wednesday June "a is the day reoog-
nized in the Catholic church as Corpus
Christi and it is is usually celebrated on
that day. But this year. the procession of
the blessed sacrament was postponed I'M
til yesterday when it took place with ap-
propriate ceremonies in the morning
after mass at st. Dominic's, and at
yespers at 8 O'Clock at the cathedral.
At ST. Dominic's, In the morning
Father Coughlin was celebrant, with
Father Hurley as deacon and Father
Huot, sub deacon, and Mr.. James Hor-
ton, master Of ceremonies. Tie music of
the mass was exoellently rendered by the
chorus choir under the direction of Miss
Fannie Eagan, the accomplished organist.
The procession of the blessed saora-
ment was quite imposing and was COM
posed of the children all dressed in white
who had received their confirmation, the
altar boys and the priests.
The mass at the cathedral in the morn
ing was celebrated by Rev. Father Nc
Donougb, the rector. with Father Gil
film, deacon, Father Collins, SUBJ
deacon, E. D. Dliscoll, master of cere-
N onies. Besides these priests, Bishop
dealey and Father O'Dowd were in at
tendance at the altar. The procession of
the blsssed sacrament was exceedingly
effective. The beautiful church. the
bright lights, the clouds Of incense, the
beautiful flowers, the solemn music, the
uniforms of the Montgomery Guards and
Ancient Order Of Hibernians, all of
whom participated in the procession, and
the long file of children in their white at
tire, with the magnificent vestments of
the clergymen, created a profound i'm
preston upon the large congregation. At
the elevation of the host the military
presented arms and the entire multitude
bowed in alterations. Prof. Quimby had
charge of the music which was entitled
to great praise. The rain was rather
damper to many who wished to attend,
but It's value to the county at large more
than COMPENSATED for the disappoint-
ment. Besides t he bishop and the cathe-
dral clergy present at the altar there were
also the clergy from st. Dominios, Father
O'Dowd and several visiting clergymen.
