The record gives only the surname "Roosevelt" as a title, and its date is unknown, so this glass negative cannot be tied to a specific occasion from the catalog alone. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a Manhattan photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers from about 1900 into the 1920s. Its subject is presumably Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president, whose energetic public life made him one of the most photographed Americans of his era. The notes flag the title as unverified, so it is worth reading the image itself for clues before assuming who or what it shows.
