the salution, and each, accompanied 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 gospel or left side
of the altar; that of Satolli upon the
epistle, or right side.

top boots, w5th sword and helmet on,
advanced from his post near the center
OF the altar, and deposited on the table
at the left hand of Cardinal Gibbons the
carulnalate documents and the berretta.
Ihen he crossed the altar and stood in
'front.' of the throne occupied by Satolh,
lifted his helment and, failing back,
took UP a position to the right of Satolli.
On the same side stood Eugene Kelly,
OF New York, chamberlain TO the pope.
