Seated on the front row, fanning himself and Mrs. Wilson with a palm leaf fan and sharing a bag of peanuts with Secretary McAdoo, he apparent ly lost nothing of the holiday spirit of the accasion. A group of clowns carried out their funniest antics just in front of him and the President many times laid back in his chair and laughed heartily. When the party entered the big* tent the crowd of several thousand rose and cheered. As he passed one of the rings the President took off his hat and laughingly made a motion as if to throw it in. The crowd quickly caught the point and applauded again. The President and his party stayed until the end of the show and were alomst the last to leave. The . President smiled broadly when a "peace ship," .manned by fighting '' sailors and commanded by a clown made up to represent former Secretary Bryan, passed around the ring. METHODIST CONFERENCE.
