Last evening the triennial conclave was formally inaugurated by three srand receptions tothe visiting knights at Central music hall, Farwell Hall and McCormick hall. _Each of these large halls was_beautifully decorated with flowers, plants, festoons and Ma- sonic emblems, They have a capacity of nearly 3,000 each, but with the throng passing in and out thero was wore_than 20.000 people who visited the three halls during the evening. Ladies predominated in the throng, and what with their zay appearance, the gorgeous plumage of the knights and the magnificent decorations of the halls, the effect was most charmin Add to the beautiful scenes the rap- turous music of three of the best or- chestras of the country, Balatka’s, of sixty pieces, at Central Music hall; band of fifty pieces at McCor- mick, and Bach's, of forty, at Far- well, and the effect in each iustance was far more enchanting than %an be described.

Noarly all the tents in the encampe ment are now occupied, but a major- ity of the visiting. knights aro.quare tered at hotels in the city. Every person is hoping for » continuance of fine weather, but the signal bureau has its storm lights out. WHAT DREW THE CEOWD. Cheap fares have brought thousands of peoplo to Chicago who othes would not have come. The railrcads will doubtless realize from their con- clave excureions farca more than the £5,000,0000riginally estimated. There are thousands here who would not | have come if it had not been for low fares. PICKPOCKET PARADISE. The enterprising pickpocket has come with the Sir Knights and the in- nocent sight seers. The police report sveral hundred cases of petty thiev- g and pocket plcking. There was 80 much of it carried onin camp De Molai Sunday night, then in charge of special police, that last night the First and Second regiments were called out to do sentry duty. A strong guard surrounds the camp and patrois the avenues and among the tents. The camp is lighted with a dozen or more electric lights, a decid- ed improvement upon the old fash- foned camp fire, Mort of the commanderies arrived at midnight, but many ara en route by special trains that have been dclaved.

Months have passed and the Baltimore and Ohio s more progressive and aggressive than ever. Meantime other lines put on and then drew off fast trains, finally going into their holes and pulling them in after them. The result is the public, ever true to the foremost in the race of improvement, has come to the support of the old line and its bus- iness has improved wonderfully. Two they can makea .

For over two yenrs I have run where once a single car would R O T Din- | every thing I took one-half bottle have carried all the passengers, inghalls, where formerly a passenger now acenes of an activity testifying to a full and complete satisfaction over the good things so temptingly spread. The bright, clean look everything now has on the road ia decidedly pleas- ant and the trip over the ““picturesque line of America” as the Baltimore and Ohio is justly termed is one of inter- est and enjoyment throughout. The laying of so much steel rail has greatly enhanced the smooth riding of trains, it being of extra weight and of the Iatest improvement in form and ac- companiments. Not long sinco an engine on the Trans-Ohio division made the remarkable run of 93 miles 95 minutes, this beng simply the making up of time without any spec- ial preparation. There are no finer locomotives on top of earth than those »f the Baltimore and Ohio, and the men who run them are engineers worthy of the name. The transfer of the New York trains of the lines, by the immense steamer, across the bay at Baltimore is a perfect success, pas- sengers being loud in their praise of it over the old manner of the street trausfer and long underground ride through the tunnel.
