Sea OF Little Wondering Faces
F77 10 o'clock. when the cathedral chimes
began toIling forth the notes Of the old
hvrnn HOLY God. We Praise Thy Name
the dim arches of the temple spread over
sea Of little faces each one upturned
now and again. searching the recesses. and
each one little pale and drawn with the
| excitement and soIeruntty of the novel sit

ADULTS the day before

| Cardinal Vannutelli. Cardinal Gibbons, who
! had occupied the throne the day before,
/ was seated opposite the papal legate on an

| Mace was reserved for Cardinal Logue.
The Primatc Of All ireland did not attend
| the mass. spending the morning az the
Holy Cross rectory. in West 42d street.
| feature Of yesterdays mass was the
| chanting of the Gregorian music by the
| boys and girls In the congregation. This
! mighty wave of sound from fresh throats
was more In keeping with the ideas of Pope
| Plus Y. II was said than had been the
music Of Wednesdays mass. which had
been rendered only by the choirs at either
end of the cathedral
II did not hear one dtscordant note

| Archbishop Farley told the children from
the pulpit Cardinal VannUtelli desires
me to say for him that one of the first
| pieces of information he will give the Holy

children are here but you represent all the
schools. as all could not come or enter here
