like, a4little more bowed, his voice was
somewhat thinner, and it was evident
that his attendants were anxious.

the crowds of people who gatheredin
the corridors of the Sala, Regia, and
Sala Ducale to witness the passage of
the cortege. The pontiff was borne in
the soda gestatoria by eight bearers
clad in red brocade. They were
thanked by the bearers of the famous
:fabelli, or~-feathered fans.

The pope smiled while he blessedthe
crowds as he passed. In fact at times
he tried to rise so as to better impart
his benediction and it was only when
he descended from the soda g%estato-
ria that his extremesweakness was APP

Following the pontiff came a gor-
geousst line of scarlet-clad cardinals,
friars, in various habits, priests and
members of the papal court wearing
velvet knee-breeches and white rufus.

guards, which. with the Sistine choir,
chanting solemnly, formed an emo
