OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Xkw York, May 30th, 1879.
The past week will be a memorable
one in Catholic annals, for the opening
of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, on Fifth ave
nue, which has been many years in
building, and is the
most imposing church structunMkta
America. The ceremonies, which
cupied the. greater part of Sunday, M
25th, had been long pre-arranged auV
pre-announeed, and attracted a multi!
tude so vast that the thousands who
crowded the edifice were but a hand
ful to the multitude that surged about
the outside of the cathedral with such
an eager pressure that 250 policeman
had to form a regular fire line to pre
vent a deadly and overpowering rush.
Admission was by tickets, which had
to be procured beforehand, and in very
many instances were roundly paid for.
The ceremonies themselves were of the
most brilliant and sumptuous character.
Seldom outside of Rome or Paris has
such an ccciershtsucal pageant been
witnessed as here celebrated the dedi
cation of this magnificent contre and
home of the Roman hierarchy in Amer
ica. The participants were. Cardinal
MeUloskey and most of the American
archbishops, assisted by innumerable
priests and acolytes: the whole forming
a procession, whose robes and jewels
and decorations, with the dazzling
white marble and rich stained glass of
the interior, presented to the eye a
kaleidoscopic series of gorgeously col
ored pictures.
Of the ceremonies themselves 1 can
not of course attempt to give an account,

■ Another notable event of this week,
Kvas the celebration on the 28th of the
Centenary of Thomas Moore's birthday.
*n the afternoon, a colossal bronze bust
of the poet was unveiled in Prospect
Park, with appropriate ceremonies; and
in the evening, the Academy of music
was thronged with a fine audience,
whose entertainment consisted in eulo
gies of the great minstrel, alternating
with performances by well-known
vocalists of his most celebrated melo
dics.
