Westminster Cathedral.
The London Monitor is authorised to state that the new Westminster Cathedral will not be opened this year as anticipated., Cardinal Vaughan had hoped that the solemn opening ceremony would take place in June or July of this year, but circumstances, architectural and constructive, have caused the postponing of the great event until 1902. There would have be«n a particular fitness in the magnificent Cathedral's opening in a year of gladness and continued jubilee for the Catholic world, but the delay is an inevitable one, and it is well after all that one of the greatest ceremonials in the history of modern Catholic England should take place under conditions of essential permanence and completion.
