Quite a contrast to a modern baseball audience picture. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

Another Bain/LOC photo of Governor Tenor throwing out the first ball at Ebbets Field: National League President (and Pennsylvania Governor) throws out the first ball in the first game of the season at Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn, April 14, 1914. The Dodgers beat the Braves that day. Cold weather kept the crowd down to about 12,000. "Dodgers Win 8 to 2; Gov. Tener Throws Out Ball" Story in The New York Times, April 15, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9E03EFD91E39E6... Another Bain/LOC photo of Tener, at a baseball game:

Wystan: Thanks for the information on Gov. Tener and the connection to the other photograph. We will add some of it to the information when we update the database.

This was prepping for the Tafts' silver wedding anniversary party on June 19, 1911. An excerpt from White House archives states: "Two score electricians are now at work in the White House grounds, as thousands of electric lights will be placed among the trees and festooned across the lawns and terraces. The White House itself will be outlined completely by electric lights. No cornice, angle, or gable will be overlooked. On the west lawn of the White house an electric flag will wave. This will be a wonderful sight, the red, white, and blue colors flashing into the night."

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Where Fine Art Thrives, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

We don't use the word 'festooned' enough.

Those were the days before worry, paranoia, and fences
