 KNIGHT TE4PLAKs.
 CHICAGO, august 1.-The Grand Tricnnial Conclave,of Knights Temp lars opened cloudy this morning, and rain fell, laying the dust nicely, but soon the sun appeared, and at the hour advertised for starting every thing was favorable. It was nearly II o'clock before the different divi- sions moved, but the windows were ! filled shortly after o'clock and many people occupied positions on the cross-arms of the telegraph poles. The committee had wisely made the line of march last over eight miles, giving all fine opportunity to see. The decorations wee very pr0fuse and on almost an extraordinary scale. The new ,paper buildings were very beautifully decorated, add wholesale houses, as well as the more important buildings, were also covered with banners, flags and notices When the last division wheeled into line. and by the time the advance guard of police wheeled, the procession had reached Lake street, on the re turn march. It was estimated that nearly 10000 Knights were in line, and it required about three hours for the entire procession to pass a given point. Every part of the parade went off with the precision that is only attained by the best drilled troops, and their various evolutions were performed with the greatest exGctnesS.
