GOLDEN JUBILEE.

is the general saying about the Jubi'
lee celebration. Not a discordant
note has been heard. 1t opened W
with a solemn high mass on Thurs
day, June ;. \ very large audience
was present and the numerous COM
munions we're a source of great ed
ification. The day so we'll started
was closed by solemn procession OF
the Blessed Sacrament through the
streets of Algiers. This was a sight
long to be remembered. Throngs
were lined up along the thorough
fares through which the procession
passed. The cross carried by ].
Charbonnet and l.. Lauel led; this
was followed by the Holy Angels,
nearly 200 strong; the First Commu-
Mon girls with wells, rs in number
the Children of Mary with veil and
insignias made a beautiful showing
both in numbers, being nearly IT'S
strong, and on account of their sing
ing. The clergy as they passed them
could not help remarking their soul
inspired strains. The st. Joseph
boys, 200 strong, were also remark
able on account of their attitude of
reverence and piety. The ladies of
the parish could not miss this op-
portunity of giving testimony of the
faith that was In them, for nearly
400 of them, all true and tried, and
of the best matrons of Algiers, re-
ligiously and piously took their place
in this grand testimonial of rever-
ence to the Blessed Eucharist. Then
came valiant band of men, not less
men because they were true enough
to make an open profession of their
faith. Mothers and children swelled
with justifiable pride as they saw
their faithful spouses and devoted ia
theirs with barred head swelling the
numbers of the true followers of
Christ. Amongst the men were rs
X. of c., % Ushers and many others.
Sixty-five flower girls, beautifully
dressed, showered flowers in the path
of their God. The altar boys, led by
Harold Healy and Tom Golf, were As in
number and flttingly ended the pro-
cession. The sacred host was car
ried by Ri. Rev. Bishop Laval. The
guard of honor to the Blessed Sacra-
ment was composed of fourth degree
X. of C.'s in full regalia, baldric and
sword. They were Thos. F. Richard

thews. 1t was most edifying to see
our most amiable and esteemed
Mayor, though weak from his recent
Illness, manfully following the pro-
was proud of being with his own on
this occasion, and all were touched
almost to tears to see him struggling
along, testifying that he had caught
the spirit of the day. The process
sion stopped long enough at Elmira
street and Opelousas avenue. to give
benediction at the beautiful reposi-
tory that had been erected for the
occasion. AS the host was raised
high in the air by the venerable
bishop and the multitudes knelt and
reverenced, there was seen a spec
tacle that thrilled the heart of ev-
eryone that was present. All have
agreed that it was one of the pretti-
est and most imposing sights they
had ever seen.

dead. Saturday the mass was in |
honor of the Blessed Virgin. Sat
urday evening the few chosen ones
who travelled to st. Mary's Hall were
more than amply rewarded for their |
effort, for they saw one of the finest
pieces of amateur work that can be
seen. There was nothing amateur
fish about the play. The young la
dies went through their lines with
wonderfully clear enunciation and
perfect understanding of the spirit
of the plot. 1t is impossible to pick
out star for all shone with partic-
ular brilliancy. When the part of
q mere attendant, such as taken by
Clare Cassidy, could become inter.
esting through its mastery inter
probation, it becomes impossible to
pike out any particular star. All the !
young ladies did wonderfully well. {
