The ceremony shifts to the Senate chamber with Chief Justice Fuller administering the oath. Roosevelt later travels to Oyster Bay as Taft heads to the White House. The pension building ball closes the day with a grand display and Mrs Taft captivates with a superb white gown and gold red embroidery.
