London, December 21. The Rome correspondent of “The Times” states that Pope Pius XI celebrated at St. Peter’s the commencement of his jubilee year iu the priesthood, his first Mass having been served in the Church of San Carlo in 1879. Eleven Cardinals, several Bishops and priests, and members of the Vatican diplomatic corps made a small pilgrimage from Lombardy, the Pope’s natal province, to attend. Pius ascended the Papal chair to a triumphal march played by silver trumpets. He served low Mass, while ecclesiastical students sang hymns. He administered Communion to 120 children. Subsequently he opened the Vatican Library and also the Belvedere courtyard, which has recently been renovated. Many religious ceremonies will follow. Rome gives the Pope a throne for the installation iu the Sistine Chapel.
