AN IMPOSING OEREMONY TO-DAY. PROCESSION OF CATHOLIC SOCIETIES Cardinal Gibbons and Distinguished Preintes Prevent—Organizations Pa- Fading im the Rain—Description 0} the Building—Details of the Program. — All the good Catholics of the city and the many others Interested in to-day’s cei ony On the site of the new Catholic University looked with anxiety on the threatening sky this morn- ing. Early in the day there appeared to be a prospect of fair weather, but soon a drizzling rain set in, a straight, up-and- down, dreary drizzie, of a kind that comes to stay for some time. Still preparations went forward for the ceremontes on the university grounds at Brooks station this afternoon. It was well under- ‘stood that the corner-stone of the divinity building Would be laid to-day no matter what sort of weather prevailed. So members of Catholic societies and others went bravely on in the rain attending to the duties assigned them. Earlyin the day a force of workmen was sent out to the grounds and were actively employed erecting shelters and making such provision as could be made for ‘the comfort of those expecting to be present in the afternoon. The large platform erected on the grounds has been profusely decorated. ARRIVALS FROM OTHER CITIES. Before 10 o'clock delegations of visitors trom other cities began to arrive by raflroad. One of the first trains from Baltimore brought the Father Matthew Temperance Cadets, a neatly-uniformed body, who paraded on Pennsylvania avenue. ‘Traig after train from Baltimore came in bearing members of uniformed societies and representa- Uves ot Baltimore parishes to attend the celebration. It was estimated this after- noon that ‘there would be _fully 1,500 Baltimoreans in the procession. A morning {ain from Frederick brought a large party from that city, and a train trom Richmond brought del- egations numbering about 200. Cardinal Gibbons arrived from Baltimore about 11 o'clock, and was tended by a number of distinguished’ prelates, ‘The cardinal was driven at once to Father Cha- pelle’s residence. Allof the distinguished prelates named in Tue Stax yesterday as ex Were here to-day. These included Archbishops Williams, Elder, Corrigan, Ryan, Salpointe and Ireland, ‘Bishops Northrop, Keane, Moore, Kain, Us, ‘McMahon, O'Kellicy, Harkins, Spalding, imour, Maer, "Richter, Rodemacher, Marty, Fitzgerald, O'Sullivan, Janssens, Rydn, Wig ger, MeNierney, Phelan, McGovern, = Ma- chebeut “and Haid. The’ members ot the Young Catholic’s Friend Society were on Teception duty all day long. Some remained at the depots, others acted on comuittees to receive the clergy. At Carroll Institute Hall many of the visiting societies were received and honored during the few hoursof waiting. Long tables were spread in the hall and an ample lunch was served, THE DEPARTURE FORK THE GROUNDS. About noon the members of the various city parishes and Catholic societies began assembling at their places of rendezvous, and soon after 1 o'clock were on their way to the depot to take trains for Brooks Station. There were busy scenes AU the depot during the afternoon, as train after train left bound for the university grounds. Tue bishops assembled at Father Chapelle’s residence at 2 o'clock, where they took carriages with the cardinal and his attendants, and were driven to the new university grounds. A large number of people went to the grounds, notwithstanding the rain. It was thought the Washington parishes aud Societies would have about 2,000 men in line, ‘The ceremontes at the grounds ‘wok place até O'clock, a detailed account of which, as arranged, will be found velow. A handsomely-printed souvenir program, published by Mr. W. H. Lepley, received a large circulation during the day. 10 DINE WITH THE CARDINAL. This evening, after the ceremonies, the visiting prelates will dine with the cardinal at Father Chapelie’s residence, and later a meeting of the board of trustees of the university will be held there, ‘The finances of the university are reported to bein a very encouraging state, Bishop Keane says the trustees are confident that within a year from ‘now they will have ail the money that 13 needed for the perpetual establishment of the divinity faculty. Already money sufficient is on hand to endow six divinity professorships. Two rishes of Philadelphia have contributed $96,000; altimore and Washington have given ‘over $150,000; Louisville contributes more than $10,000, and Chicago has sent nearly $20,000. ‘To-day’s Ceremonies. There are two parts of the ceremony to-day. The more important part, of course, 1s the eccle- slastical ceremony at the site of the university. ‘The other part 1s the celebration by the laity, taking the form of a procession or escort to the cardinal and distinguished prelates who partict- pate in the ceremony. The lay procession will be formed in the seventh division and the clergy will form iy the eighth division. The procession forms at 3 clock ‘slong, the Bunker It road, on both sides of the railroad, at Brooks station. ‘The vari- ous divisions will form in fields opening into the road, in such manner that the first division when it files out, will defore all the divisions, and ‘each division in turn will march out upon the road, eo that the whole lay procession will pass in review before the last division, composed of the bishops and clergy. Following ah ecclesiastical custom, each division 48 arranged with the junior organization first, ‘Thus the youngest paris 1s placed at the head of the division “composed of representatives of parishes, and the oldest last. In the division composed of the clergy the different bodies are according to their ecclesiastical rank, the Christian brothers coming first, followed in order by the priests, the bishops, the archbishops, and last by the cardinal, the highest dignitary: ‘The procession, when formed, will march by way of the Bunker Hil! road to the site of the univ sity, adistance of about haifa mile. There the lay "procession will form two lines deep around the site of the university, and remain in that posi- ‘don walle the ceremony is going on. n. W. S. marshall, i ground, ay Pf Sgaberge = .
