Exhibition of Altar Vessels and
Paintings at Coming Eucharistic Con-
gress.-In connection with the Interna-
tional Eucharistic Congress to be held
at Madrid next June, members of the
organizing committee are keenly de-
sirous of carrying out two projects
which, if achieved, will undoubtedly
add to the interest of the Congress-
The first is to make a collection of
the many masterpieces hanging on the
walls of the Museo del Prado (the Ma
tional Picture Gallery, which treat of
Eucharistic subjects, and place them
apart on exhibition in an Independent
room. The second is to form an ex-
hibition of altar vessels, ciboriums,
pyxes and chalices, loaned by the diff
ferent cathedrals and religious houses
throughout Spain. During the six
teenth century the riches of the New
World in great part flowed into the
Golfers and on to the affairs of the
churches of the Peninsula; the finest
artists have devoted their genius to
the designing of Spanish Church
plate; and although the French in
vading army carried away priceless
booty, and destroyed many valuable
pi ces in wanton vandalism, still such
an exhibition of specimens of the gold
smiths art would certainly be un-
equalled in any other country of the
world.

panions of the Dominican Order. In
France this last cause will be of par
ticular interest. inasmuch as. Pere
Captier was shot at Paris as hostage
in 1871 by the Communists. Pere
Captier was brother of the late Pere
Raphael Captier, who was Superior
of the Procura of S. Sulpice, Rome.
