AT THE RACES ANNIVERSARY DAY GATHERING As was to be expected the patronage at the Trentham racecourse on Anniversary Day was very large. Judging by the motor parks, the members, and public ones, every car in Wellington seemed to be present, but there were still a few left to take the families out to the beaches tor picnics. Although the day did not promise too well, the weather at Trentham was beautifully warm, but not sunny and everyone could enjoy the races without the discomfort of a strong sun. Perhaps, because of this, the frockitig did not seem as gay as on the opening day, coats were 'more in evidence and the bright parasols were not needed.
