with snowy white linen the guests were
seated, after grace had been said. The

When the festal occasion had reached
the stage for toasts. Governor Otero,
representing the territory, was called
upon and spoke as follows:
your Grace and Gentlemen-I desire
to congratulate you upon this most aus
picious occasion, when, for the fourth
time in the history of this ancient city,
the solemn and impressive ceremony of
investiture of the pallium has been wit
messed.
"As chief executive of this territory,
charged by law and my oath of office
with the execution Of it's laws and the
acts of the congress of the United
States applicable to it, I am glad to
greet the head of that great church
which for so many years has been the
support and stay of the law through
out the largest diocese in the United
States, without whose aid and assist
ance the administration and execution
of the laws in the vast domain included
in New Mexico and Arizona would have
been most difficult, if not impossible.
while under our constitution and
system of government church and state
must always be distinct and separate,
yet in the practical administration of
affairs we find that each relies upon the
other.
1T was your church, most reverend
sir, that first brought Christianity to
the people of this land, and dotted the
western side of the continent with mis-
sions, converts, schools and churches
from the bay of San Francisco to the
highest part of the Rocky mountains.
To it and it's servants the people owed
not only their religious knowledge and
instruction, but We're indebted for most
of their material progress and comforts
in earlier years. The priests of your

pears, apples and other fruits which
were unknown here before, and which
have become so great a factor in the
material advancement of this western
country, until the fame Of California,
Arizona and New Mexico fruits and
grapes has become almost world wide,
and the Mission grape of the early ia
theirs is acknowledged as the best of all
its kindred; while sheep and their prod
ucts in New Mexico bring us more reve-
nue. than all our other resources COM
bined.
For all this and much more are our
people indebted to your church; and it
is most appropriate that the ceremony
of to-day should have occurred upon the
very spot where, 200 years ago, De VAR
gas reconquered the City of the Holy
Faith from the savage Indians, and
caused the solemn services of your
church to be executed in thanksgiving
and praise to God for his victory, and
where he made the vow in its comment
GRAFTON which is faithfully observed I'M
til this day in the procession to San Ro-
sario.
Il congratulate You grace upon as
Stunning the pallium. l congratulate our
people upon having a prelate who has
lived among them so long, and knows
SO we'll their needs and wishes. And I
congratulate myself and the govern
ment represent in having, in the ex-
allied position which you occupy, so
able, distinguished and patriotic an
American citizen as yourself"

To the toast Of "The Clergy of the
Archdiocese" Bishop Matz, of Denver,
said:
Most Beloved Archbishop: Six |
months ago, almost to the day, on a
occasion, I was invited to ad-
dress a few words to the clergy of the
province. The occasion was that of
your grace's reception and installation
as archbishop of Santa Fe. From the
noble and generous outburst of enthu-
siasm which marked the occasion, l was
moved to congratulate your grace, the
and laity of the archdiocese for
the grand testimonial Of f1lial affection,
han which nothing could be dearer to
your paternal heart, nor more honor
able to such devoted children, both of
the clergy and of the laity. To-day we
are invited to voice the sentiments Of
the clergy of the province toward your
grace on this occasion of the comforting
Of the pallium, a task not quite as easy
the n of this morning. For when I
the hearts Of your devoted
clergy, whose unutterable emotions I
I'M called upon to interpret, I feel that
words do fail me, for no words can
'athom the unfathomable depths of the
cart. | shall make an attempt, how
aver, by way Of comparison, feeling
confident, reverend father, that you will
my shortcomings. i
