SECOND DAY.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-Tlie greatest
day in the history of Chicago is over.
All day long two hundred and fifty
Thousand strangers have walked about
the streets lto view the largest process
sion that ever took place in this coun-
Try.
The weather was beautiful, and the
light rain which fell last night only
laid the dust.
About twenty-five thousand knights
were in line, and had with them over
one hundred bands of music. Some
delay was experienced in moving so
large a body, but everything finally
worked very smoothly and the column
marched over seven miles, in columns
of platooDs, front, twelve abreast
The streets were so crowded that it
was almost impossible for the knights
to give any fancy .eyolutions as they
marched along, but the grandeur of
the procession fully made up for the
loss.
Seven of the knights were sun
struck in the afternoon, owing to the
fact that the wind had died out and
the sun was very hot. They will re
cover.
