Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock a pon
tifical high mass was begun. Ut. Hcv.

Nlcholns Torvo, of Hazleton, deacon;
Hcv. Charles J. Qoecltel, of Wllllnms

he said he -pent a long time among
Cieunin Catholics and learned to lovo
them. While he was In Home he notic

Tho sermon was preached by Hev
Him man Goebel, of Pittsburg. He spoko
on the subject, "In Union There Is
strength." He was glad to have the
oppoitunlty of addressing so many
Geimans who wero assembled for mu
tual advantage, to assist one another In
adveislty, and amelloiate the suffer
ings of their distressed brethren. Ho
was thankful that tho Catholic church
is not persecuted In this country. Ho
said that she has been bitterly perse
cuted, and that she has lived ttlumph
nntly tluough It Is evidence that she la
the true church. Tho church, ho said,
teaches her rons to lovo the govern
ment under which they live and to obey
Its laws. No better 01 truer citizens
reside under tho American Hag than
the Catholics, ho said, and they nre
icady to defend it even to their last
breath nnd to tho last drop of their
blood.

Mnln Grandest and Best Shows Con
solidated last night, and thousands
were turned away. Market street was
packed with people from Second street
to Eighth. Not only were the side
walks crowded, but even the roadway
was almost Impassable, and tho street
cars had difficulty In forcing a pass
age. "It did not look like hard times to
see the struggling crowds scrambling
for the ticket otllce, nnd when the bell
flnnlly rang up the entrance of the
equestrian tournament there were tier
upon tier of spectators, with as many
more satisfied with standing room.
The spectators weio magnificently en
tertained from the beginning to the
end of the programme. Every ono wore
a broad grin for two hours, and then
went home, still smiling."
