William Austin Wadsworth tells President Roosevelt that his children Ethel and Kermit enjoyed themselves, although the weather was too dry to be conducive to good sport. Wadsworth will invite the people Roosevelt wants to the dinner. He booked the banquet room of the Metropolitan Club for the 12th. Roosevelt’s friend General F. V. Greene visited yesterday, and Winthrop Chanler came to announce the results of the football game.
