The most picturesque scene OF the cere-
mony was after the conservation Of the
Host, when the procession Of the sacrament
was begun. The aisles were cleared OF the
great mass OF men and women who filed
them, the side sanctuaries being used to
hold the overflow. Then the crimson
robed cross bearer carrying the gold cruci-
fix, led the way. Two acolytes followed,
bearing brass candelabra and behind them
u
taper. and the priests in their robes bearing
burning candles. After this stream OF
violet and crimson and pickering lights
came the ArchbisbOps cross bearer and then
the Archbishop, his ministers and pages
Two pages bore the Archbishop's golden
mitres. After him came two censor bearers
In white and purple and then twenty-four
little girls dressed In white and pink, wear
ing wreaths OF roses and carrying baskets
OF flowers which they strewed in the path
Of the host. Three other children carried
sheaves OF wheat and clusters Of erar es-
symbols az the bread and wine used in the
sacrament The eucharist was carried In a
jewel-studded monstance by the celebrant
OF the mass. Over II was borne a canopy
Of gold by four crimson-vested pages.
After passing through all the aises OF the
church in benediction. the procession re-
turned To the sanctuary where the ltany
OF the saints was chanted. Then the Host
was placed above the altar. II will remain
exposed until Tuesday morning, when at
. o'clock the mass OF the repostion will
