SIX THOUSAND PUPILS.
Took Part In the Centenary Mass In
New York City Today-A Most
Attractive Feature.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, April 29-One of the
most remarkable and attractive fea-
lures in the centennial celebration of
the Catholic diocese of New York took
place in st. Patrick's Cathedral this
morning, when six thousand pupils,
representing the seventy-three paro-
chial schools of Manhattan and the
Bronx, took part in the centenary
mass. The children were so numer
GUS that little room was left in the
spacious edifice for the throngs of
grown-ups who sought admission.
The musical program was pronounc-
ed one of the finest ever heard in the
Cathedral, where in years gone by
some of the most celebrated singers
of the world have lifted up their
voices. For many weeks the children
had been in rehearsal under the direc-
uOn OIL the rev. fdIHer 1ounS, o. d.,
who is recognized as the highest au-
thority in Gregorian music in this
country. The three song features of
the children's mass was the special
hymns: "Blest Is the Father" Jesus,
Dulcois Memorial and Holy God,
We Praise Thy Name"
Another interesting feature of the
weeks celebration will be the great
mass meeting in Carnegie Hall to-
night, at which ex-Justice O'Brien will
preside. Cardinal Logue and Arch
bishop Farley will be the ecclesiasti-
cal speakers, while John ]. Delany,

Burlington, Vt, April 29.-Vermont
will send an uninstructed delegation
to the Chicago republican convention.
This was the sentiment that seemed
to prevail among a large majority of
the delegates to the state convention,
which was called to order shortly be-
fore two O'Clock this afternoon.
During the past few months much
active work has been done in YER
mont by both the Taft and Hughes
forces, and the sentiment among Yer
mont republicans appears to be about
equally divided between the two can
didates Because of its proximity to
New York, Vermont has displayed a
little more ardor in taking up the
Hughes boom than has any other OF
the New England states. But there
appears to be not the slightest proba
bility of the delegates being instruct
ed for either candidate 1t has been
Vermont's custom for years to send
an uninstructed delegation, and the
leaders declare they see no reason for
violating the custom this year.
Taft enjoys greater measure oil
popularity among the masses than
does any other candidate. He would
stand a better chance of capturing
the Vermont delegation, however, if ii
were not for the sentiment expressed
by Governor Proctor The politics OF
Vermont are controlled by the Proctor
family of which the late Senator Red
field. Proctor was the head. His son
Governor Proctor, is credited with sin
cere friendship for Hughes, which had
its origin during their early youth
They attended the same college and
belong to the same fraternity Cover
nor Proctor regards Taft as the
Roosevelt candidate, and he is not a
very warm admirer of the president
Consequently, it is expSGt that un

AS much as the people of Washington

sons of the national legislators some OF

There was quite a crowd of people in

Thursday evening. j. B.. Anderson. the
president. in the chair. and r. L. Wilkin-
son acting as secretary. e. 8. Hoffman.
chairman Of the committee on public
schools, submitted a report requesting an
expression from the association on the
Dolliver bill. The situation was discussed
by Rev. c. H. Parker. Z. 8. Hoffman, c.
E. Howard. A. L. Craig and DR.. William
X. Scott, all of whom opposed the meas
ure. The sentiment of the members was
that it would be unwise to have any
management Of the schools other than by
board.
The following were appointed commit
tee to draw up protest against the Do!h-
yer bill: DR.. William K Scott. E. s. Hoff-
man and o. Madden. 1t was decided to
ate and House committees on the District
as we'll as to the board of education.
NJ. Hoffman urged the association to
request the board to hold an examination
for the position of supervisor of the
twelfth school division at an early date.
The position, he explained. Is appropriated
for. but. he stated. on account OF some
alleged unfairness charged at the last ex-
animation there seems to be no mover. nt
looking to the filling of the place. On his
report the association passed a resolution
requesting the board to conduct the eX-
animation referred to.
1t was reported that the night school
which has been started in the Birney
building on Nichols avenue, is being
largely attended. the highest attendance
being announced as 116 pupils. Two
rooms are being used for the classes. it
was stated. and two other rooms are be-
ing prepared and equipped for the pur-
pose. An additional teacher has been sup
piled. making three now engaged. and
President Anderson announced that hs
had reason to believe that the manual
training course will be carried out next
year. Secretary Wilkinson read letter
from the Commissioners to the effect that
the request of the association for ad-
ditonal public school facilities at the Biz
ney School will be looked into.
The secretary reported having received
communication from the Ccm.niss on-
ers saying that T street south OF Sheri.
Dan avenue. at which point the associa-
ton had requested lights to be erected, 10
par of any street lighting appropriation
can be used for installing the lights aske0
for -A petition was received from the
residents of Douglass avenue recon-
mending that the association use its eff
forts to procure several electric lights on
that highway. This matter was referred
TO the committee on lights.
The association authorized the names
of President Anderson and Secretary
Wilkinson to be enrolled, on invitation, as
members of the Civic Center. President
