The return of Cardinal Farley OH
Wednesday OF last week was the sig
nal for magnificent demonstration OF
Catholic strength and zeal in the
Metropolis of America. 1t might bo
more to the point to say that 1t was,
OF the spirit Of good will that exists
between Catholics and Protcstants
throughout the country.
The Cardinals committee, consist
ing OF two hundred prominent Cath
Ollie men OF New York, boarded the
steamer Roscdalc at Pier A, at the
Battery at II a. m. on the day Of the
Cardinals arrival. There were also
on board a committee Of priests, but
the remaining 600 priests of the dio-
cese were at ST. Patrick's Cathedral,
where in cassoclls and surplices they
received His Eminencc.
The Rosedale waited in the bay the
arrival of the Berlin. and then fol-
lowed the steamer to her dock at lio-
boken. There the Cardinal left the
Berlin and boarded the Rosedale and
was taken back to the Battery. Upon
landing His Eminence entered car
riage and, preceded by the members
Of the reception committee in automo-
loiles, proceeded UP Broadway 70
Twenty third street, and thence up
Fifth avenue to the Cathedral, passing
the various Catholic organizations
which were drawn up in review along
the line. One hundred and fifty auto
mobiles were required for the escort.
Decorations were general throughout
the city, and Mayor Gaynor had the
national, state and city flags displayed
on the municipal building. Fourteen
hundred policemen guarded the line OF
march, in charge OF Commissioners
Waldo In addition, inspectors. %
captains, 43 lieutenants and 65 SER
gcants were on duty at various points
Despite the intense cold the Cath
ollie societies turned out nearly $4,000
men.
