ute to the Late Cardi-
nails Successor.

The one time humble little orphan boy,
who not 30 very long ago used to scurry
along with his school books between
dingy buildings Just north OF the City
Hail. yesterday afternoon was installed
and acclaimed at st. Patrick's Cathedral
As the Most Reverend Archbishop Of the
greatest sec on the Western Hemisphere
amid All the impressive ceremony OF the
Catholic Church.
The Apostolic Delegate, Major-Gen.
erals Of the United States Army, Ad-
mirals OF the navy, bishops and mon
signori from New York State and be-
yond. Justices Of the higher courts,
superiors OF religious orders. famous
nnanciers. physicians. lawyers. boyish
curates from humble parishes, writer's
sroups OF black robed nuns. women OF
wealth who came In town cars and the
poor who trudged through the rain from
the river fronts-all degrees of the So
ciety that 20 to make the greatest city
were present to pay tribute TO their
spiritual head and friend. the Most Rev.
Patrick Joseph Hayes. the first native
New Yorker to be Archbishop of New
York.
1880 I'm the Procession,
There were $500 cierics, seminarians
laymen in the procession that wound into
the cathedral. and as they continued
to como on and on from the Lady Chapel
and the north doors and file through the
church to the thunders Of a TIE Deum,
one wondered whore foot room could be
found for all Of them, particularly in a
cathedral. vast as It IL, which already
seemed crowded with a far spreading
congregation of reverently attentive lay
men. But each in time was in his APP
pointed place, and with a rhythm that
might have been likened to the perfect
beat OF the organ music. the ceremony
OF installation was begun and carried
more than two hours later to a recess
sional as perfect as Its prelude.
The wind and rain that beat against
che cathedral walls may have had the
slight effect OF shortening by city
block the route of a preliminary outdoor
yroce ssion from the Cathedral College
90 the door Of the cathedral but not
even March at its worst could take a
5ot from the impressiveness of the cere-
monies within the soft gloom of the
cathedral.
Big American Flag Displayed.
Tall tapers flickered a mellow light
from the high altar and an immense
American nag. which dropped sheer from
the semi-darkness OF the ceiling arches
almost to the heads OF the congregation
added its note Of color at the foot OF
the main aisle.
Between these cleaned the gold OF
erchiepiscopal crosses held high by
bearers and acolytes, the puppies of the
bishops and the monsignori. the ermines
and puppies OF the magma cappa worn
only by an Archbishop. the gold and
white Of mitres and the g:ories of high
officers of the army and navy in full
uniform.
HumbIest OF all was the centre OF
everything. Archbishop Hayes-modest
in manner, seeming to look in a wonder
Of incomprehension at the solemnity all
about him and, when his time came "a
make oral acknowledgment OF the
honors and tributes paid to him, as mod
est in speech as a youthful seminarian
But threaded through his discourse was
that unmistakable quality of intellec-
tual leadership which Con the word OF
o noted Catholic divine) caused the late
Cardinal Farley to say on innumerable
and pushing occasions. 81 shall ask
Bishop Hayes's advice about II he's al
ways right"
