CHOIR OF CHILDREN
Gregorian Anthems Chanted
by Youthful Voices.
AT ST. PATRlCK'S
Impressive Part of New York's Cath
olic Centenary.
LAITY WILL MEET TONIGHT
Bourke Cochran, Cardinal Logue and
Archbishop Walsh to Be Among
the Speakers.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Followfng yes
terday's impressive ponttfical mass In St.
Patrick's Cathedral there was a beautiful
and touching service as part of the CEN
tenary exercises this morning at IL O'Clock.
wher 5000 children from the parochial
schools gathered in the cathedral for a
children's mass Bishop Burke of Albany
was celebrant.
The early morning scenes as the groups
of children arrived offered a sharp con-
trast to the majesty and splendor of the
day before. The general interest aroused
seemed to be quite as great however:
There were scores of proud parents around
from an early hour in the hope OF squeez-
ing into the cathedral. There were also
plenty of other grown-ups.
The 5000 were the picked voices of the
parochial schools. Each institution had
been hidden to send tenth of its chill
dren. Furthermore. the children had been
trained and rehearsed in the Gregorian
music. which they were to sing. with
thoroughness that made the service
musical event.
Children Carefully Trained.
In each school the children had been
carefully trained by the priests and sis
ters. The last week all 5000 were as
sembled in the cathedral for the general
rehearsals. and the 5000 voices made the
huge spaces of the cathedral vibrate with
song.
All the girls were dressed in white and
wore white wells that hung down to the
hem of their short, bobbing skirts. Their
only decorations were the national colors.
Bows Of red. white and blue decked their
shoulders. and the centenary medal hung
from a miniature American flag. The boys
wore red, white and blue bands about
their left arms. What with the great BAN
ner between the spires and the flags sur
rounding the cathedral plot the whole
spectacle as the children arrived looked
more like national celebration than any
thing else.
A large force Of police was on hand
and did efficient work in keeping the
streets clear and preserve order at the
doOrways.
This evening a mass meeting Of laity
will be held in Carnegie Hail. at which ad-
dresses will be made by Cardinal Logue,
Bourke Cochran, John ]. Delaney. DR..
James j. Walsh, Paul Fuller and Arch
bishop Farley.

Amusen1enfs
"The Cat asd the Fiddle $

After recurring generations of the extravaganza, of the specific class Into which goes the old old "Devtfs Auction" 'The Black Crook" and the performances of Friday night at the Grand. billed as "The Cat and the Fiddle" such productions pail. and only btd for favor by the possession of fea- lures new and artistic. It can be said. however. that the redeemlng nov city comes in the Cat and the Fiddle" to save 1t from utter mediocrity with the stunt of the El More sisters in the third act.
 The two erstwhile vaudeville stars break into the ovet-burdening scenic features with 8 bhrlesque on grand opera. A boy and girl of Buster Brown and Mary Jane attire, the two dash through an amusing bit of puerile opera, 10 the infinite delight Of the au- 'dience. The act Is well executed, worked out as a novelty, and fills its purpose. Two heavy parts of the typical grand opera are enacted in 6 way that becomes iudicrously light and pleasing. A dance by the tive follows; it is, as good.
 'rhe Cat and the Fiddle" is woven about the adventures of two lovers, to thwart whose affectionate desires the powers of evil strive. But the low CTS, as ever in the extraVaganza, find an ally in the good fairy. and every thing works out well.
 The style of the show comes from che big cat, a slave of the good Genii, and a power for good, and the animal prances it's way through the three acts, touches q fiddle for q few strains at the first, and thus names the perform ance.
 There Is the usual abundance of scenes, wierd with multifiuous play of colored lights. and bearing out the theme of the supernatural and magi- cal. There is comedy, also, much Of it., the most furnished by the tramp characters, the Happy" of Charles Sellon. and the Hang of Schnttz Sey- mour.
 "The Cat and the Fiddle contains several departures from the usual run of the extravanganza, not all of which can be termed elevating. AL together. however. with the dazzle of colors and spangies and marvellous transformations. the show is one to delight the juvenile spectator through out. And there are songs and dances and vaudeville features that appeal to those searching for the lightest of stage productions. .ns,
 Large audiences witnessed both the afternoon and evening performances at the Grand on Christmas Day.
 The next attraction billed for the house Is Eleanor Robson, in Vera. the Medium" on Thursday night.
