The choir then sang two verses of "America," in which they were joined by the audience, standing, and a postlude, including the "Star Spangled Banner" and the "Hallelujah" Chorus from Handel's "Messiah," ended the celebration.
At the close of the exercises in the church, the invited guests, about three hundred and thirty-eight in number, sat down with the American Commission to a luncheon served in the ancient Town Hall of Delft. This building, as well as the colossal bronze statue of Grotius standing in front of it, and the contemporary portrait of Grotius in the Hall of the Burgomaster, was decorated with the flags of the Netherlands and the United States.
During the progress of the luncheon, the American representatives, headed by Ambassador White, visited the various tables, and toasts to the President of the United States, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Emperor of Russia, and the President of the Peace Conference, as well as to the various countries represented, were exchanged.
At three o'clock the weather had moderated, and the guests returned to The Hague.
In the evening the orchestra at Scheveningen made. American national airs the chief feature of the gala concert, which was attended by most of the members of the Conference.
