    The date at the top says Feb 25, 1911. I beleive that's General Frederick Dent Grant (son of General Ulysses S. Grant) and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. Grant sucumbed to cancer on April 11, 1912.

    Left: Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson (1867-1950) See also this picture of Secy Stimson & Ge. Grant at lawn party. It is interesting that hanging behind Stimson is the 45-star (pre-Oklahoma) U.S. flag which was replaced by the 46-star version in 1908. Maybe the obscured flag on the right is the contemporary 46-star flag displayed beside the "old" one. In a year's time from this photo, the U.S. would have the 48-star flag that would remain unchanged until 1959.

    Maybe its the Fourth of July?

    The lawn party was an annual fundraising event for the Army Relief Society, which provided for widows and orphans of officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army. General Frederick Dent Grant, the Army's commanding officer on Governor's Island, was the host on this occasion. General Grant, the son of former President U. S. Grant, resided on the island, and died there, in 1912. We have been misreading the date on this photo as February, but in fact the 1911 party was held on May 25: that's a "5" in the date, not a "2." In response to an email query, Mike Shaver, National Park Service Ranger/Historian at the Governors Island National Monument, provided the date of May 25, 1911, for this event, and also noted that Stimson had been appointed Secretary of War only a few weeks earlier, in that same month. Here is a photo of the lawn party, going full blast: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163472204/in/p...
