President Roosevelt tells Winthrop Chanler that William Astor Chanler can wait until the day of the dinner to decide if he can come, provided he wires Roosevelt whether or not he is coming on that day. On his birthday, Roosevelt took out the horse that he was riding with Winthrop Chanler on Sunday, and took him over “all the things in the park.”
