ON THE LAWN.

DRESSES AT ELLERSLIE. VAGARIES OF THE WEATHER. MANY BEAUTIFUL MODELS. Despite the greyness of the sky and the sultriness that heralded the commencement of to-day's racing at EllersHβ there was a good gathering of enthusiastic racegoers, and the scene presented was a very bright one. The colours of the many beautiful models that graced the lawn added to the scene of gaiety, for this season is a colourful one. The light and flimsy materials that generally distinguish the Christmas racing season were not as much, in evidence as one would have expected, but owing to the vagaries of the weather they are being kept perhaps for New Year's Day, when the eun might have more strength and the breeze a little lees chill in its caress.
