1t is interesting to note that many
Of those who have received great bene-

With the present pilgrimage are Irish
men, Scotchmen and even a few from

Several Of them have returned to

torchlight procession from the square
in front OF the chapel of the Rosary,
by Nay OF the great semicircular Via

The night was dull and lowering, with

The pilgrims first gathered in front
of the chapel, each Of them carrying
q long wax taper. They We're led by
the clergy, chanting as they walked.
The door of the Basilica, the lesser
doors at the lower end of the yiaduct
and the statue of the Virgin in the
great square were illuminated by a
multitude of electric lamps.
Above, the castle towered-a black
mass against the sky. The procession
descended to the square,; the chant
died away. Around the great statue
of the Virgin worshipers were whis-
pering their evening prayers. The
statue-a blaze Of light in its little
garden of roses-stood benign and
kindly.
IL the morning the pilgrims mass
was celebrated at the little chapel in

have taken place. and where there is
