shortly before 10 O clock. The laiety were seated from the rear Of the church for ward to the foot of the cande-lighted bier on which rested the cardinal in his archbishop's vestments and mtre. The entire forward part of the cathedral was reserved for the clergy.
 The organ pealed Into the church filed 8 double column of seminary choristers. Behind them came priests al- most without number There were the white-surpliced secular clergy and then members of various religious orders Paulists and Redemptorists, Suplicians and Jesuits, Rassionists in their black cassocks. Domincans in white and San daled Franciscan monks in rope-girded robes.
 Rain falling as the procession started caused a slight change in plans. ln- stead of marching into the Cathedral from Calvert Hall college, with the priests of lesser rank as had been in- bishops and archbishops Cardinal OConnell and Cardinal Begin, and Archbishop John Bonzano apostolic delegate, filed in from behind the altar after having entered the church from the archepiscopal residence in the rear.
 In the cathedral there filed also mem bers of the faculty of the Catholic uni- versity of Washington wearing their caps and gowns. The scholars, with their turquoise and green and the churchmen of high rank in their bril- liant ceremonial robes seated them selves with the white surpliced clergy
 CONTRAST OF CENTURIES
 It seemed as if to the area behind the altar rail, a moment before a canvas of white, there had been touched painters brush. In an instant it became q tableau from the early history of the church. The laity in their twentieth century dress and the clergy in their time -honored attire, meeting at the bier of the archbishop of Baltimore, seemed like contrasting centuries.
 Archbishop Bonzano, celebrant of the mass, seated himself on the throne of the late Cardinal Gibbons, to the left of the altar Chanting, his assistants advanced to the altar and from it bore back vestments of black, silver em- broidered. Rising, the celebrant with the aid of acolytes divested himself of his mourning robe of purple and clad himself in the vestments for the mass Then. wearing his white mitre. he stepped slowly down from the throne and followed by assisting priests and acolytes. moved to the altar steps. where he kneft.
 For nearly an hour the chanting con- tinued as the archbishop read from a great tome which an altar boy held before him. By his side was another boy, bearing a candle.
 At last the celebrant returned to his throne. In the pulpit to the right of the altar appeared Archbishop Glennon. In measured tone that echoed gently in the vast auditorium, he eulogized the dead, accounting his services to the church of mankind.
 HEAR GREGORIAN CHANT
 After the funeral sermon had been completed Archbishop Bonzano stepped slowly from throne to bier, kneeling at the foot. Suddenly there was heard the solemn Gregorian chant, previously heard only in Rome al the funeral of pope, but which. by special permission of the Vatican, was sung at today's requiem. For minutes the mournesr lost their sense of sight in their sense of sound.
 Then came the final dissolution. To the chant of priestsA five archbishops. one by one encircled the catafalque twice. the first time casting holy water on the body of their, former leader. the second time incense. Then. with priests in white choir clothes surrounding the bier. and apostolic delegate and assist ants kneeling at the foot. the audience bent it's head for the final prayer.
 By this time the rain had stopped The recessional moved down the center aisle, with the highest church officers in the rear. and passed out into the church yard, where the waiting thou sands blocking nearby streets and orowding the roofs of nearby houses gazed upon the ecclesiastical process sion. The mass was ended.
