Ihe ceremony will last from two to three

taches to this particular occasion, by rea-
son of the fact that the altar has been
erected in commemoration of the diamond
3upilee or the church, which will be cele-
orated this year. and because it is said to
oe one OF the handsomest affairs in this
city, and. in fact. in the country

together. These latter are of Carrara mar
Die, with decorations Of sienna columns
and bronze tabernacle doors. The dimen-
sions are: From the base to the top of the

to the top of the reredos, feet; width of
the table, feet inches. One of these
affairs Is the gift of Mrs. Andrew Leonard
and Is In memory of her husband. The
other was furnished by the church
The main altar was carved in Italy sew
eral months ago, and was erected in this
city under the direction of the sculptor
V. A. Fusigna. Its Byzantine style of
architecture is carried out mainly in monu-
mental marble, but the decorations are of
onyx and bronze. The table of the altar is
supported by four columns dividing the
front into three panels, all carved in demi-
relieve. and having for their subjects the
lamb of the sacrifice, a sculptured cross
anchor, and crown, and the SacIed Heart
or Jesus. Rising above the center of the
altar is an open pinnacle, surmounted by a
splendid dome of bronze, and supported by
column of bronze, having inside of 1t a
statue of st. Peter carved out of white
Carrara marble. To the right and left of
the main pinnacle are side pinnacles, and
between them a reredos, the front of which
Is richly embellished with six pillars of
onyx The altar is reached by three steps
of onyx.
The dimensions of the altar are as fol-
lows: Extreme height, y feet; extreme
width, II feet; width of the mensa, IA feet
1t was originally the intention to have
the blessing to precede the formal cele-
bration OF the diamond jubilee by day or
so only, but as 1t is impossible to have the
cardinal here at this time, the celebration
will not take place until some time in the
fall.
