the Long Island Railroad leaving Long Island

panied by two Secret Service officers and by
New-York City detectives. A special parior car
was attached to the train for the accomnoda-
ton of the ENJOYS. The trip to Oyster Bay was
without incident A considerable crowd had as
sembIed at the station to witness the arrival Of
the ENJOYS. and as soon as they left their car

a glimpse of them. They were met by conf

were devoid of ceremony and made a fittingy
democratic ending to what probably the
most informal peace conference ever brought TO
a successful termination.
