CARDINAL IN MONTREAL.
Papal Legate Given an Enthusiastic
Reception-Hearty Official Welcome
nv PreIates and Officials of the City.

Montreal, Sept. 3.-Within 100 yards
OF the spot where Maisonneuye knelt
in 1912, and with solemn high mass
claimed all of The North" for France,
Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli, papal
legate to the Eucharistic Congress, land
ed from the steamer Lady Grey this
afternoon and was enthusiastically ac-
claimed As the cardinal bowed and
barred his head, the din of cheering and OF
..nging bells was mingled with the deep
boom OF lie Gros Bourbon, the thirteen
ton bell in the steeple OF the Cathe-
dral.
As he walked slowly down the gang
plank OF the steamer his eminence,
who was CARRIED in his robes OF state,
was greeted by DIR. James Guerin,
mayor OF Montreal, who presented him
with an Illuminated address, extending
the freedom of the city. After shak-
ing hands with a few invited guests,
the cardinal and his party were escort
ed to the waiting carriages and driven
through long lines OF people to the
archbishop's palace, where he will re-
main during his stay as the guest o.
Monsignor Paul Bruchesi.
The official welcome on behalf Of the
committee arranging the Eucharistic
Congress began early today at Three
Rivers, where the Lady Grey made a
landing. The cardinal, accompanied
by Cardinal Logue, primate Of all Ire
land: Monsignor Tampieri, OF Rome;
Canon Gauthier, Monsignor Bruchesi,
and Hon. l.. p. Brodeur, Canadian
minister of marine, was welcomed at
the wharf by the mayor of Three
Rivers; Monsignor Clouthier, bishop OF
Three Rivers, and a delegation Of the
clergy district. After an exchange OF
fluctuations, the cardinal was driven to
the Cathedral, where mass was cele-
brated. The party remained on shore
an hour and the journey was resumed
to Montreal.
The second stop was made at Sorel.
The cardinal and his escort did not dis
embark, here, but welcomed Monsignor
Bernard, bishop Of st. Hyacinthe, and
his clergy and the mayor and civil
officials in the main saloon OF the Lady
Grey. As at Three Rivers an ilumi-
mated address from the municipality
was presented.
1t had been planned, to emphasize
the fact that the Eucharistic Congress:
is welcomed by Protestant as well as
Catholics, to have the escort in this
city composed Of the Duke OF York :
Hussars, a Protestant cavalry regiment,
and the French-Canadian Catholic
regiment GARDINER Mont Royal, but
the militia department at the last
moment prohibited the troops par
ticipating. 1t was explained that no
discourtesy was intended, but that
there existed no precedent for such a
parade. Instead Of the cavalry escort,
therefore. a detail of mounted Mon
treal police surrounded the carriages
containing the distinguished guests.
This evening in the city hall, a public
reception will be held in honor Of the
distinguished visitors
