THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. Their Twenty-fourth Triennial Conclave in Washington, A Parade of 17,000 Knights Re- viewed by the President, The twenty-fourth triennial conclave of | the Knights Templar of the United States opened at Washington with a grand parade, great in numbers and unique in character, Tho National Capital wore a holiday garb. The days of chivalry, with all their pomj and display seemed revived The | long columns of soldiery, with their | gorgeous plumes and uniforms, the galloping mounted equerries, the fluttering banners, the martial music and the shrill and commanding trumpet-calls were here.

The number of Knights in the city has been estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand, comprising over two hundred commanderies from all sections of the country, There were fully seventeen thousand in line. The twelve divisions of the procession formed in the stroots adjacent to thh Capitol, and, debouching from the side streets at the signal of command, filed into line and began the long march up Pennsylvania avenue I'he parade moved over a line of march three and a half miles long, beginning at First and B streets and ending at Mount Vernon square, where the commanderies were dis missed.

The | | cages are msde of palm-tree, and the | | girls are put into them when two or three years old. Rev.
