THE FINAL DAY

FROCKIING AT ELLERSLIE LESS FAVOURABLE WEATHER POPULARITY OF SILK SUITS After three days of perfect weather, race-goers could hardly be too disappointed at overcast skies and the occasional light showers which occurred on the final day of the Auckland Racing Club's Summer Meeting at Ellcrslie yesterday. Ihe sun, however, managed to find its way through the clouds quite often and the day was very hot, so that the frocking did not differ greatly from that seen on the previous days of the meeting. The frocks of summery organdie and -georgette were replaced in most cases by heavier weight materials such as crepe de chine or wool georgette and a large number of light summer suits were also worn. Tho wide-brimmed picture hats were, of course, very much in tho minority on such a day, but some very smart hats of the smaller typo were seen and in a number of cases the tight turban-cap made its reappearance.
