WASHINGTON, -. c., March L
President Roosevelt today gave fare
well luncheon at the white house to the
members of the famous tennis cabinet
and others who have been closely as
ISOLATED with him during the past seven
years. Aside from the distinguished
government officials who have served as
among the Presidents chief aides dur
ing his administration, and also as ms
companions at sports Of different KINDS
there were ATcScnt men whom the Pres
idcnt had made friends with when he
was roughing it in the west years ago
and with whom he had gone on numer-
Gus hunting expeditions.
The occasion was memorable TO those
who surrounded the President today,
and the lattcr'S farewell words were not
entirely free from notes OF regret II NOT
sadness. The President in a brief
speech laid emphasis on the point that
no administration had given its chi"i
more loyal service, and he stated that
he believed that the country had never
had a more devoted set of public scry-
ants than those men through whom.
he said most of the work Of hls admin
istration had been accomplished.
