H.B.J.C. RACES

WINTER MEETING. GAY THRONGS FROM FAR AND NEAR. On Saturday last it was quite exciting to watch the various races at the winter meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club from a fully crowded grandstand, the unusually large number of people present adding greatly to the interest of the gathering, especially from a feminine viewpoint. A delightful feature of the day was the programme of bright music played by the Hastings Citizens’ Band. There were some most beautiful fur eoats worn by visitors and local residents, and interesting tailored coats of hand-woven tweeds or bright woollen and two-piece suits were varied by pretty scarves, quaint berets, or becoming furs. This meeting was one of the most successful held in Hastings for some time, and everyone seen appeared to be enjoying their day.
