The archbishops and their attendent
priests closed the procession. Like the
other officiating clergmen their vest
ments were scarlet. Archbishop LANCE
vim, Archbishop John ]. Keane and
Archbishop Katzer preceded Arch
bishop Ireland, whose erect figure,
clear cut features and long gray hair
made him prominent in a procession
that was remarkable for its tall, strong
and soldierly looking men.
Four Hundred in Procession.
AS the acolytes who headed the pro-
cession entered the, gates leading to
the sanctuary, they separated, taking
seates on either side of the alter. The
seminarians grouped themselves about
the alter steps and waited until the
procession of clergymen had also en-
tered the gates, then they took the
seats reserved for them in the body of
the church. The bishops were seated
within the sanctuary to the right fac
ing the archbishops daiS. Back of
them were the priests. In all there
were OVer-s4UU people WHO IdO 1ldkelt
part in the procession.
Archbishop Ireland, the cOnSecrator,
imposing in his long. cardinal cope and
richly embroidered archbishopric gown,
with his mitre and staff, was seated
directly in front of the alter, facing the
two bishops-elect and their sponsor
bishops, Stanley, of North Dakota, and
McGolrick,- of ST. Paul. The conse-
orators. assistants were Bishops Cotter
nd 10, -sE OF
either side of the archbishop. The
bishops elect wore the purple cope and
cap, their palmer crowns in striking
contrast to the embroidered scarlet
robes of the other officiating clergy
men.
Details of the Ceremony.
After he was seated, the archbishop,
using the Latin tongue, asked for the
apostolic commission. 1t was read in
a sohorous voice by Rev. ]. r. Dolphin,
who stood at the left of the alter near
the consecrator's dais. Father Dolphin
read first the original commission
which is written in the Latin tongue
and then the English translation.
This commission from Pope Leo XIII.
informed the consecrator and others
assembled that it was his desire and
wish that Rev. John N. Stariha of ST.
Paul, and Rev. J. j. Keane, Of Mime
apolis, be made bishops of the Roman
Catholic church.
Still employing Latin the consecrator
examined the bishops elect, who knelt
before him. As each answered he rose
and took off the small purple cap he
wore, replacing it as he, knelt again.
The examination being closed, the as
sistant bishops led the candidates to
the conSecrator whose hand they rev
erently kissed. Then, laying aside his
mitre, Archbishop Ireland turned to the
| alter and commenced the mass as
| usual, the bishops elect standing at his
left with their sponsor bishops.
Music Was Most Impressive.
Beethoven's st. Cecilia mass was
sung by the cathedral choir, assisted by
| soloists from st. Luke's choir. John
Gehan directed the choir and Miss
| Anna McQuillan presided at the organ.
An orchestra was also in attendance.
The music was not the least impressive
part of the ceremonies yesterday.
Richly colored, like the brilliant pro-
cession itself, it filed the church with
beautiful harmonies. The chanting OF
the litanties by the seminar1anS, con-
trasted sharply with the more nlelod-
ious music of choir, organ and orcf1es-
ira and seemed to set apart the serv-
ices of conservation from the richer
beauties of the mass.
After the confiteor the consecrator
stood before the altar. continuing the
mass there until the choir sang the
| AIleluia which follows the Epistle.
Then he resumed his seat in front of
the altar and the services of conse-
Grafton were continued. In the chapel
