There was aloe a .special re- served place for the Pope's family, which was occupied. by his three sisters. They were dressed eutirely in black, with black lace draped over their hair. The Sistine choir, directed by Abbe Ferosi, who, together with Maestro Rena, has been its organizer and instructor for to- day's Gregorian chant, had it special box near the throne, while grouped around it were twelve hundred youths of prac- tically every nationality, race and color, belonging to the ecclesiastical colleges • of Rome. • The Benedictine, who formed the choir, were also located here.

Although the procession was as gorgeous as ever, the bright red of the eardinals'• gowns mingling with the brown gowns of the monks and the white gowns of the choir, the benignant ! figure of the Pope under the gorgeous canopy, the picturesque ostrich fans and glittering helmets of the guards, its re- ception seemed cold after the frantic applause permitted by Pope Leo.

At noon the Pope re- entered his apartment, the procession being formed in the same manner as on entering the church.
