RACE FROCKING

On the Lawn at Napier

DARK HUES IN FAVOUR

The second day’s racing of the winter meeting of the Napier Park Club was held on Saturday at Greenmeadows, when there was a large attendance, the majority being women. It was a raw, dull day, with rather damp conditions underfoot. For a very brief period the sun peeped out. With the dark-hued frocking and grey skies, it was truly a winter meeting. Many remained in the stand for warmth and it was fortunate there was little wind. The proceedings were livened up by the excellent selections rendered by the Napier Citizens’ Band between the races.

Brown was the favoured colour worn, and navy came next. Almost every other woman wore a fur coat. Gaily coloured scarves peeping out gave a bright touch of colour to them. Hats were relieved by mounts, feathers, bright ribbon cockades, wings, etc. Seen on the lawn were:—
