large man, easily noticeable in
crowd by his general air of distinc-
tion. His features are of an intellec-
tual cast and radiate kindliness and
good humor. He wore large, black
felt hat that had evidently seen much
service, crushed firmly down upon his
head. The line of march was taken
up along Superior street to Fourth
avenue west, and then up the hill to
lne residence of Bishop McGolrick.
With bands playing, score of large
silken banners and American flags
waving, and the hundreds of uniform
ed men in line, the procession was an
imposing one. The carriage contain
ing the distinguished guest was near
the rear end of the long line, and was
surrounded by special guard of uni
formed men on horseback and afoot.
Other carriages carrying local mem.
pers of the faith brought up the rear.
ricks residence Archbishop Symon
spent a few moments resting and
meeting the Catholic clergy of the
city. He then made hasty change
from travelling costume into official
garments and proceeded to the cathed-
raj auditorium, where an elaborate
ha1
program was in two parts, the first
being given by the pupils of ST. Peter
and Paul's school of the West end.
The entire program was in Polish.
Every available seat in the large audi
torium was occupied, and many in the
great audience were compelled to
stand, The archbishop occupied a
chair in the center aisle near the ros-
trum, and appeared to enjoy the en-
tertainment which had been provided
for his benefit. The entertainment
was fine one in every way, and we'll

also spoke, and expressed enthusiasm
over the bright future of his country.

Poles he met in this country appeared
prosperous and happy, and was high
in praise of the absolute freedom of
speech and worship existing here. He
said that he had been appointed to
come from Rome and look into the
condition of the Poles in America, and
that, although he had not been in the
United States very long, he had seen
enough to convince him that the peo-
pie of Poland who have settled here
are contented. The archbishop, who
is about 70 years of age, looking much
younger, is native of Poland, and
spent more than twenty-five years in
st. Petersburg, assisting the bishop of
the Catholic faith in that city. He has
been living in Rome for the past five
years. Saturday he left Duluth for
Ashland, and from there he will leave
in the evening for Stevens Point, Wis.
He had expected to remain here until
Monday, but was obliged to change
his plans.
