ops and a score or more Of archbish-
ops, the purple and gold of their rich
vestments glistening in the cold, clear
air, their immense trains held up by
boys, also in brilliant vestments. In
this formation they marched through
to Charles street, and passed
the palace Of the cardinal, where
they were joined by his eminence, who
took his place last in the line. Upon
his head he wore the red berretta, an
exact duplicate Of the one which he
was soon to confer upon the man who
will, for some time at least, share his
honors in this country. Upon his
shoulders hung the beautiful cloak of
cardinal silk and ermine, with half
dozen train bearers clad in cardinal
velvet and gilt braid, following in his
wake. In this order they swept along
up Mulberry street to the cathedral
again, where they filed into the vener-
able old pile through the main entrance
way. Satolli was not in the process
sion, but as the head of 1t reached the
altar, he, accompanied by Mgr. Sbar-
retti, Marquis Sacrapanti, the member
of the noble guard who brought the
cardinalate insignia here, and the
priests who had been deputiZed to as
sist him in the coming ceremony, en-
tered the cathedral from a rear door,
leading from the palace and advanced
to the front Of the altar The students
and seminarians followed to the right
and to the left as they passed in front
of the high altar, finding seats on
either side. The others in the process
sion advanced within the sanctuary
and took the places reserved for them.
THE DECORATIONS
in the church were of simple char
acter, save of the altar. The beauty
of the paintings which the walls are
adorned with rendered other embel-
hshments unnecessary. Upon the altar,
however, the ladies of the congregation
had spent their best efforts, and the
result was floral effect beautiful be-
yond compare. Great feStoonS Of ev-
ergreens dropped gracefully from the
caps of the immense columns at the
rear of the altar, and twined around
those columns to the floor. Equally
graceful loops Of crowfoot and laurel
swung from the arches over each OF
the affairs at the sides. The taberna-
Gle was fairly hidden beneath bow
er of cardinal roses, symbolic not only
of the robes Of the celebrant, but also
Of the joy of the occasion. Grouped
everywhere around the altar were ferns
and scarlet geraniums, palms and pink
hydranges, verbenas, rubber plants and
aZaleas, and such wealth of other
beautiful blooms and blossoms as must
have exhausted all the capac1ous hot
houses for miles around. The altar
itself was literally overrun with
strands of smilax, and from among
hundred Of interStices among the
green, scarlet, pink and cardinal bow
er cleaned scores Of WaXen taperS,
twinkling like stars in the armament,
and producing an effect both beautiful
and impressive. Upon either side Of
the great auditorium two bronZeS had
been erected, one for the old, the other
for the new cardinal. Both were hung
with the rich colors of the princes of
the church, and both were profuSely
adorned with snilaX, laurel and ever
green, draped around the sides and
looped back from the front.
AS the procession wended It's way
down the center aisle the organ,
full orchestra and a chorus of fifty
voices rendered triumphal march.
When Cardinal Gibbons reached the
altar he bowed low to Satolli who re-
turned the Salutation, and each, &C
companied by his assistant priests and
deacons Of honor, sought the throne
upon which he was to rest during the
greater part of the ceremony. That
of Cardinal Gibbons was on the Cos
pei, or left side of the altar; that Of
Satolli upon the Epistle, or right side.
