GREAT PAGEANT
AT EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS (Rec. June 22. 1.30 a.m.) New York, June 21. In a pageant unique in the Western Hemisphere, the Princes’ Roman Catholic Church installed Cardinal Bonzano ns personal representative of the Pope in the twenty-eighth Eucharistic Congress at Chicago. The Holy Name Cathedral was ablaze with thousands of lights as the legate took, the throne surrounded by Catholic leaders, including eleven cardinals, all wearing scarlet robes, buckled slippers and red birettes. The church seats only 2000, so few laymen were present when 800 priests, in black and white, 500 seminary students in purple cassocks, 500 monsignors also in purple, seventeen mitred abbots, 250 bishops, and 57 archbishops stood to greet the cardinals.—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
