After the impressive and solemn ceremonies connected with the burial rites of the late Pope are over, another solemn and impressive ceremony is yet to come—namely the election of his successor—the Conclave. Five halls or large marble rooms, two chapels, and a long gallery are set apart in the Vatican for the Conclave. Each of these halls is divided temporarily into small apartments running up both sides with a broad alley between them, formed of wood, and covered with green or violet cloth. One of these apartments is assigned Se ok to each Cardinal with his attendants. The entrance to whole of these rooms, halls, chapels, and gallery, is by a single door fastened by four locks and as many keys.
