pilgrimage to the Pantheon occurred
at O'Clock in the afternoon. Owing
to the unusual number OF strangers
now in Rome and the latent, though
none the less deep political and re-
ligious feeling pervading all classes
OF society on account of the papal
conclave, the government took extra
ordinary precautions to prevent any
unseemly demonstrations. For some
reasons of state the memorial
exercises were curtailed with a view

cession to the Pantheon was composed
OF delegations from all the Italian
provinces. The pilgrims filed in pro-
cession past the vault containing the
remains Of King Humbert and there
deposited a large number OF wreaths.
