A banquet to the Catholic clergy as
sembled for the ceremonies of confer
ring the pallium was given in the par
lors of the Hotel Portland, yesterday,
commencing att o'clock p. m. 1t was a
notable gathering. All the dignitaries
were seated together, the papal delegate
with Archbishop Christie on his right
and Bishop Glorieux on his left, Bishop
O'Dea next and Bishop Orth acting as
POSTMASTER. Under the skilled direc-
ton OF Manager Bowers a profusion OF
sweet-scented, brilliantly colored flowers
had been banked and feaped until the
tables rivaled the festivities OF the trop-
les. Around the parlors, which were
carpeted in spotless white, were bou-
quets OF roses OF every shade, from the
darkest Jack" to the most snowy white.
On the tables the large baskets of fruit
were nearly hidden in the clusters and
strings OF the same flowers distributed
with lavish hand. The candelabra were
appropriately decorated, the large cleo
trolite in the center having in addi-
ton to its floral burden a conspicuous
bow OF purple ribbon, typical OF the oc-
casion. The menu was excellent. The
tables, unlike the usual custom, were
arranged for six to eight persons in
groups, with the exception of that ac-
commodating the dignitaries
Bishop Ortiz raped for attention at
$50 p. IN. In the midst of impressive
silence he delivered most cordial well
come in well-rounded sentences and
containing delicacy OF thought that
commanded an outburst of applause at
the conclusion.
Bishop Ortiz, as POSTMASTER, in very
fitting terms proposed the first toast,
The Holy Father, Pope Leo ILL.," to
which he invited the apostolic delegate
to respond. Monsignore Martinelli
spoke very briefly in English, as fol-
lows:
ut would be impossible for me to ad-
dress you in language which is not
my own, and it would be very difficult
for you to understand my Irish brogue.
(Laughter.) So, as we are all ecclesias-
tics, it is better and easier for me to use
the language which is common to us
ALL"
The Latin address was principally re-
garding the work done by the pope,
with remarks on his plans of work. The
subject was divided into three heads
and handled in methodical manner.
The monsignore spoke only few min
utes, and received very cordial greet
ing when he sat down.
Father Black, the next speaker, was
introduced by the POSTMASTER, to adj
dress the meeting on the subject, "Our
Guests" He said in part:
From across earth's greatest nation
to our home in this land of the setting
sun there has come to us he whom we
honor and love, both for our holy ia
Their, the pope, whom he represents in
our midst, and for his excellency's own
distinguished self Our eminent guest
has honored us and given to us JOY to-
day i'll comforting the insignia of au-
thority upon our metropolitan and be-
loved archbishop. This honor is ap-
preciated, this joy is felt in the heart of
every priest of fair Oregon. We are
honored and rejoiced to-day, right rev.
erend bishops and reverend fathers, by
your presence. You have laid aside
your cares for the nonce to join with
lis upon this festive occasion. In this
great western land of ours, where the
arduous work and labor of the primeval
is still not a thing of the
past for both bishop and priest, this
day brings to us new strength and cour-
age. Therefore, welcome, thousand
times welcome, and in response to the
tl1rob OF every true Oregon heart do l
propose the health of our eminent and
guest"
Father P. c. Yorke, the greatest ora
tor in the western part of the church,
was next on the program, in response
to the toast, "The Catholic Church in
America Father Yorke proved his
versatile and powerful influence when
he essayed this subject without prepara-
ton. Several brilliant sallies at first one
object and then another, not excluding
his Oregon brothers, kept the banquet
