Commander and Mrs. Cowles and Pri-
vate Secretary Cortelyou stood to the
rear OF the receiving party. Close at
hand were secret service officers. ushers
and policemen and those in charge OF
the ceremonies. The purpose was TO ad-
nit only those wearing badges. These
numbered several thousand. and great
number Of the general unlimited public
managed also TO gain entrance. Par
ficularly noticeable was the extreme
caution not only OF the officers, but OF
those having the affair in charge for
the adequate protection Of the Presl-
dent.

Of the reception was the fact that there
was no handshakng The suggestion

that 5000 persons attended the recep-
ton.
