NEW CATHEDRAL DEDICATED.
Cardinal Farley Crowned Twelve
Years of Untiring Labor With
Blessing.

Denver-With all the ritualistic
pomp and religious splendor of tho
Roman Catholic church, the Cathedral
of the immaculate Conception was ded-
icated with the apostolic blessing of
Cardinal Farley and Pope Plus X.
Deepest devotion marked the serv-
ices celebrating the completion of Den
ver's most beautiful church, and tho
spectacle of 10000 souls kneeling out
doors to receive the benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament was one never sur
passed in the ecclesiastical history Of
the west.
The gigantic afternoon parade. in
which nearly 5000 Catholics of Denver
participated, in fitting jubilation of
success crowning the struggle COM
menced more than fifty years ago, to
establish the Catholic church in Colo
rado, was by far the greatest religious
demonstration ever witnessed in the
Rocky mountain region.
Intense interest was shown in the
dedicatory event. Not only was every
seat in the beautiful cathdral taken,
but several thousands gathered outside
to vew the papal procession as the ex-
terror walls of the structure were
blessed by Cardinal Farley.
The edifice was crowded at both
morning and evening services, thou
sands clamoring to get glimpse Of the
magnificent interior. Apart from the
5000 in the parade, the benediction
Of Cardinal Farley in the afternoon
brought 1000 more to its doors.
At the close of each service the
chimes of the cathedral rang out in
religious selections appropriate to the
occasion, completing an essential fea-
ture of the magnificent exercises.
