President Roosevelt reminds his son Kermit that under no circumstances is he to extend his trip because he must be back at Harvard by the 30th. He says he and Mother took their last row at Sagamore Hill and then invited Oyster Bay to the house to hear a delegation of German singers. Roosevelt closes by saying the Winchester rifles have arrived but they were all sighted wrong.
