Venetians who had journeyed to Rome purposely to attend the corona- tion. They numbered about three hun- dred when the mass began in the Paul- jine Chapel, and the air was vitinted, i with the temperature above 9 degrees. Pope Pius was seen to grow paler and paler, finally throwing out his hands as though seeking support, He would have fallen had not Mgr. Bressan, his priva' chaplain, been quick to catch him. It ts ftimpossible to desaribe the confusion and jelarm among the worshippers, while the Pope sat motionless and unconscious, with his eyes closed. Dr. Davenezia gave the Pontiff im- \mediate assiétance, while the messen- rs telephoned Dr. Lapponi. ter rushed to the Vatican, but did not arrive until after the Pope had been re- jatored to consciousness and taken to his own apartment. Dr. Lappon! has recommended that the Pope take a complete rest.
