them of great extent In point of territory merely,
of the Western dioceses take rank over all
others. but in importance and activities the promi
nent ones in the East quite likely to be sub
jected TO reorganization. The archdiocese of
NewYork, over which Bishop Farley is to be
placed. is the leading of the country. having a
Catholic population OF 100000 and a clergy list of
716 1t is by all odds the richest we'll. AS is
understood that the existing eighty-seven divisions
will be reorganzed into nearly one hundred. ii is
commonly thought that the archdiocese OF New

Bronx and Richmond. In this city. and the counties
of Duchess. Orange, Putnam Rockland, Sullivan,
