CORONATION CEREMONIES
AT ST. PETERS SUNDAY
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Rome, Aug. 6.-The coronation cerc-
monies will be performed at st. Peters on
Sunday, according to a rite dating from
the latter part Of the fourteenth century.
As the pope enters the church clerk
of the papal chapel holds up before him a
reed surmounted by handful of flax.
This is lighted; it flashes up for a mo-
ment and then goes out at once, as the
chaplain chants:
"Pater sancte, sic transit gloria mundi'
(holy father, thus passeth away the worlds
glory).
This is done three times. The mass is
then begun as usual, but before the in
cense of the altar, the blessing OF the
pontiff-elect is announced by three car
dinal bishops, each of whom rectes a
prayer over him.
After the collect, come the so-caled
laudes, that is, the three-fold supplicatops
to God for the welfare of the new pope.
The coronation itself takes place after
the mass in the balcony over the portco
of st. Peters, overlooking the great piazza.
The second cardinal deacon takes off the
mitre which until now the pope has worn
and then the senior cardinal deacon
(MacchD places the tiara on his head, and
all the people cry out, "Kyrie eleison'
The pope reckons his pontifcatc from
his coronation day, although, OF course,
he is pope from the date of his election
Plus X has appointed his conclavist
Mgr. Bressan, as his private chaplain,
which means that he will also be the
pontiif's chief private secretary.

Five Hundred Churches of
Rome Join in Grand
Celebration.

Rome, Aug. 6.-During one full hour
this morning there seemed TO be nothing
but vibrating sounds, SO penetrating were
the strokes OF the beels of 500 churches
which, all ringing together, absorbed all
other noises.
The ringing was in honor of the election
of Plus X-a welcome unique of its kind
and ordered by Cardinal Resphigi, vicar
Of Rome, who issued special instructions
therefor.
All the churches contemporancously cele-
brated masses for the event, the intoning
OF the oremus combining with the har
mony.

was so striking that it held its own with
the others.
The members Of the sacred college gath
cred before the hour set for the ceremony
and held kind of informal reception, the
conclave, short as it was, having brought
them cordially together.
A procession was then formed. First
came the Swiss guards, which gives pc
cular MEDIEVAL splendor to all papal gath
erings, then the palatine guards, followed
in irregular ranks by the whole pontfcal
court, in its mutiform and multi-colored
costumes, the cardinals in all the gorgeous
ness OF their scarlet robes, and the bishops,
scarcely less striking, in their purple.

and surrounded by the noble guards, who
always remain near his person, went on

The procession, having gained the hall
OF the throne, where the members of the
diplomatic body were gathered, Senor
dAntas, the Portuguese ambassador, the
dean of the corps, read i'll clear voice
the collective greeting OF his colleagues,
presenting their homage to the new pope
and assuring him of their fidelity.
Plus X answered with great cordially,
thanking them heartily. for their good
wishes.
Kiss His Hand.
All then kissed his hand and the pontiff
took this opportunity OF speaking person.
ally to each, showing a knowledge OF the
politics of the diverse countries which sur
prised the diplomats, the new pontif being
credited with taking small interest in af-
fairs outside Of Italy.
1t was another surprise to them to hear
him speak French, il not fluently, at least
with certain readiness.
Altogether, the whole audience gave
promise of a new era OF international cor
diality at the vatican.
