There will be 100 on this first section
out by the Kaiser Wilhelm II of the
North German Lloyd Mediterranean
service. July 9. Every berth that could
be taken, including even the officers
rooms. have been taken. Fifty more
applicants are waiting for accommoda-
tons To provide for this emergency,
and for those who are daily applying
to join this pilgrimage. the Very Rev.
Director has arranged to send another
section by the Archimede of the Royal
Italian Mail Steamship company, sail
ing from New York, July 4. This
steamer. although slower than the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, will land her pas
sangers in Naples in time to meet the
first section, so the pilgrims are sep
arated for the ocean voyage only.
From Naples they go to Rome for ten
days. thence to Florence. Venice. Inns
bruck Munich. Oberammergau for the
Passion Play; Zurich, Lucerne, Inter
laken, Berne, Geneva. Cote, Lourdes
and Paris.
The home journey will start from
Cherbourg on Aug. %, arriving in New
York Sept. l.
This itinerary is identical with that
of the first section, with the exception
of the ocean voyage to Naples. Mass
will be said daily on board the Archi-
mede. All the first-class cabins of the
Archimede have been secured. The
be1.ths will be reserved for new appli-
cants until May l. This arrangement
gives the second section a ship to
themselves. The cost will be S425. which
includes all travelling expenses, hotel
accommodations. railway fares, admis-
sion fees. carriagea etc, from New
York to New York.
AS so many pilgrims express a de
sire to visit Ireland. still a third sec
ton has been arranged to go out by the
Umbria of the Cunard line, leaving
New York June g. They win
land at Queenstown, spend one week
in Ireland, visiting Blarney Castle. the
beautiful Killarney lakes, Kerry, Glen
garriff, Limrick, Dublin, etc. They will
go to Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne the
Rhine, Strassburg, Lucerne, Milan and
Genoa, arriving in Rome July 90, at
the same time as the first and second
sections After the ten days in Rome
the three sections will travel to the
Passion Play, Lourdes and Paris, fol-
lowing the original itinerary. They
will return together on the Trave of
the North German Lloyd line, from
Cherbourg, on Aug. %. The demand
for ocean accommodations is so heavy
this year that the Very Rev. Director
desires to impress on those who con-
template making this pilgrimage the
fact that his arrangement with the
steamship company holds good until
May only. He desires to make it
known that no other section can be
organized later, as the return passage
could not be obtained from any COM
pany before the month of October. The
new programme for the three sections
is ready, and will be sent on applica-
ton addressed to the Very Rev. E. H.
