Andrews Cathedral yesterday, large
congregations turning out at all of the
services. In all there were seven serv-
ices in the church during the day. The
! first commenced at $50 o'clock in the
morning, while the last one was just
over at 20 minutes to o'clock in the
evening.
The decorations were very pretty,
and were in charge of Mrs. osborne.
assisted by ladies of the Cathedral con-
gregation. On the altar were several
bouquets of different white flowers,
with a background of pampas grass.
The altar rail was twined with fern
wreaths and white flowers. The lamp
stands in the chancel were twined
with the pretty Bouganvillia vine.
Round the lectern were wreaths of
stephanotis, and on the front of the
pulpit was a handsome cross of white
and scarlet carnations. Bunches of cal
la lilies and white and purple asters
scattered around, helped to make a
very attractive scene. The font was
decorated with margueriteS and red
carnations, resting on maiden hair
ferns.
Special music was rendered at all
the services At the choral celebration
at 1880 o'clock in the morning the boy
choir rendered the communion serv-
ice and the special Easter hymns to
full organ accompaniment. The boys
and men all wore new cassocks for the
oh, bo1 Il

er, wife of the British Vice Consul.
