Messrs. F. Eller, F. O'Grady, and Burns, and the Misses Cordon and Strickland were among those who contributed items. Miss H. Beardsell was an efficient accompanist, and Mesdames Elliott and Mexted were the chaperones. Supper was 'served in the large diningroom, which was very prettily decorated for the occasion.

Chapman and Miss Gytha Chapman are back from Dunedin. Mrs. Cleghorn leaves on a trip to England to-day. Enthusiastic and eloquent as is Mr. Wrench, Miss Wrench's little address l&Bt night on the Overseas Club was even more delightful. There is an appealing charm about her personality, and a thrill in her musical voice— go soft and yet so clear — that arrested the attention. A dainty humour, a touch of senti' ment, and sound common-sense made up a speech that was remarkable and much appreciated by her listeners. Mr. Wrench later declared -laughingly that before they arrived here they had been spoken of as Mr. Wrench and. his sister ; now it was Miss Wrench and her brother ! Her Excellency Lady Liverpool, too, spoke a few pleasant words at the close of the gathering, saying that her friendship with Mr. and Miss Wrench dated from childhood _ days, when they were near neighbours in Ireland. It was altogether an interesting meeting, and the high aims and objects of the Overseas Club were fully and clearly described. Her Excellency, who wore a soft black frock with elbow sleeves and cut a little low below the throat, was presented with a lovely bouquet of pink roses by_ Mrs. Chatfield, secretary of the Victoria League. Mrs. ChAtfield wore black net and jet embroideries ; Miss Foljambe was in pink ninon ; Lady Gibbes~wore black and a satin coat lined witji violet; Miss Wrench was in black over white satin", with Peter Fan collar and elbow cuffs; and Mrs. Godley also wore a black frock.

Cocks, agent for the Press Association at Cable Bay, Nelson, has received word of the sudden death of his wife, who was visiting her mother in Sydney. A perfect day— sunshine and the slightest southerly breeze*— was enjoyed yesterday at Trentham by the racegoers,There was no excuse for not putting on one's best bib and tucker, and the result was a very well-dressed assembly. Everyone rejoiced that the first, visit of Their Excellencies to Trentham should be made on so fair a day, when, too, the racing was interesting, and no accident marred the sunshine and the cheerfulness. Lady Liverpool wore a white and brown satin foulard, made very simply, the skirt slightly draped, and the magyar bodice finished by a lace collar falling over pleated blue silk. The blue — in a deeper tohe—*appeared again in the feathers that massed her bright brown straw hat. Miss Foljambe wore blue muslin, a black neck-ruffle, and a small black and white plumed hat. Miss Harcourt's coat and Bkirt was of shot fawn and blue poplin, and her wide hat had a blue plume fastened with a rose.

Miss Joseph was in black ninon, with touches of pink, and a, black hat with pink ospreys. Never have there been seen at Trentham such exquisite white frocks. Wonderful needlework, the finest embroideries, fairy stitchinga, and tucks, and in some cases, real lace, all decorated the gowns, the beauty of which, to be appreciated, required close attention. The delicate charm of the lingerie frocks quite out-classed the elaborate silks and brocades. One little lady in such a gown, with dainty tuckings and borders of beautiful lace, completed it with a picturesque grey hat, wide feathered, and softened with grey tulle. Another gown of broderie anglaise— a mesh of fine stitching — was handsome, and a visitor, who wore a hem of parma mauve on her gown, and a sash of the same, while the wings in her hat echoed the same pretty shade, was much admired. A notable frock of ninon and satin, in sapphire blue, had tiny sets of buttons of blue and &reen, and touches of pale brick red, while her beautiful hat repeated all the colours in harmonious contrast, with an added and daring note of deep yellow. Shoes and stockings were notable features in the dress of many of the women. White shoes, of course, were very popular, and with a black and white costume was worn piquant footgear, with white uppers, showing the black silk stockings. In this case, as someone wittily remarked, the ends justified the means, for the feet were small and pret* tily-shaped. Gold shoes were to be seen with an elaborate green and gold costume with wonderful embroideries in Eastern colours, and plaid shoes, in black and white, Were chosen to go with a frock of the same.
