THE CATHEDRAL DEDIOATION, THE HOLY NAME. THE SEAVICES TESTERDAY. Thé wow Cathedral of the Holy Name was dedicatad yesterdav 1n the presence of 4,000 per- sons crowded within the ediiice, and several ad- ditionat thousands in the adacont stroets. The ovent is the most Jmportant which has occurred in the history of ths Catholic Digcose of Chi- cago for mapy years. Tha church hea cost sboat $250,000. Tho aliar, which Is of solid marble. coat $5,000. The dedication was solemuized by thres prelates and & arge body of cletgy, Oua of she striking features of Iha occasion a successful actempt to restore a pure atjle of ecclonlabtical music, The oration aelivered by Bishop Rysn s consldered the must ornste and eloquent ever prononnced in tha fYest by a Lmhn spoaier, sud is given in full, ———— DESCRIPTIVE. THE CATHEDRAL stands on the southwoest coraer of North State and Superior streets, fronting on Htate street. It ta sdmitted to be the moat grazeful and ms- Jestia pile in Chicago, its exteras! beanty arous- ing the admiration of all classes of people. In 1ts Gothio grandeur thenlogy is lost, sud the del- icate spire which carries its white head, like & prayer, oto the olouds, bears upward the sspira- tiou of Jow and Qentilo that 80 much of beauty dedicated to the servico of the Almightv shall redonnd in blessing upon mankind. The struct- ure, whils extremely elaborate in design, is sin- gularly froe from aflectation ; itls, '1n thla re- spect, a model of chaste and learned conoeption. Thero ia not an unnecessary stone ; nor, would symmetry anywhere suggest the uss of another. 1t Is. almost the ooly church building in Chicago in whose exterior even the untutorsd eye may not paint out & hideons de- tormity, s ludicrous omission, or & contradiotion of assoclations, Bome of our churches are crowded down on thelr aites lika. mushrooma; othera are gluttonons Falataffs, broader, than thoy are [ong § still othezs are thrown togather, plecemenl, looso and shapeless, as it their tho- ology wers all at ends, with no dasiro or per- mussion of uuitr; sad the latest style isillas- trated in & notable edifice which throws a oolis- senm roof over its jocand head, haogs w light~ ping.like red-and-black chandelior theatrewlss jn the centro of the houss, pats & trampat in ks choir, aud s {aunty feather fn ils hesd, and sdvances {o tho way of the Lord, rejoicing and exo¢edlog merry, Othera are diemal without snd sombre within, filled with » dark aod clammy atmosphere ro- plete with suggeation of sepulchres snd shad- ows of phantoms hooted sad tsiled,—like the Haly Family Church,~which would be grand, like Puillips' Napoleon, were it not, like him, gloomy and pecoliar, But artist and €hristian will atike find {¢ diffoult ta name s fault ia the new Catlisdral, ive, eudurivg and found- od on tha rock, it ia also—if suct attrivutes may bo spplied to architecture—a manifeetation of the cheoring and bopeful qusiities of zsligion. Delighttully frea trom coldyesa or disdals, it {le niues the fancy of the siranger by its splen- dor, sud {uvites the alien. 10 shsro the bappiness of & falth whioh finds ita moet ples- ing exoression fo such joyous proportions, Si- 1oatly sggressive, it attracts ahd chiavms, LS et ankaons, o cont 2 kpco the A hy conteny Duspraise or blame, nothing but well and faf E& B0 perfect are the proportions ot length and ‘bread:h that ono ia surprised st the sxcent of L ares cavered by the mita.

The result isa conspicuons lack of <clezancs in a atyle of decoration both ambitions and oostly. Some relief ia aordea by the desper Liues of c‘e wiodoms, Tno general ‘effect, how- evor, is not one which ia just 1o the other merits of the structure, and Bishop Folay and Dr. Alc- Mallen will undoubtudly discover meava to dia- pel the fault ua soop aw tho diocesan tressury will warrant the omh{. ‘The figures fn most of thn windows sre slther hideous or ridicul us, The caricatura of Christ, over the man altar, wrappied. with o pstriotism whica disdaios to 1a4e pote of time, in tho star-spangled bao- ner, ia 8o Ingeniously detestablo fn shape and ®0 odlous and abominable in color a4 to suggont & description which might savor to ths pi.us of Wlavphemy.

The alear railiug is racher light for the generona di. meosioos of the sanctuery; aud the coutss- siouals, inscead of enhancing the interor, ra:ber detract from 1t by their rigid and funereal plan- pess. The tomporaty pulpic opan which Bisbop Ryan delivered yesterday s maguificent contiibu- Liou to the eloquence of ths charch,—n discourse worthy ot Bossuet, is to ba oxchanzed for ono in harmony with the place.

Chief Mar- shal John . Doolin was an ellictent officer in that position. .
