ASCOT AMENITIES
“CARTWHEEL'’ HEADGEAR. HAT THREE FEET ACROSS. LONDON, June 22. “Thank goodness, h os don’t wear Ascot hats!” said a backer after the close finish in the Ascot Gold Cup, which Happy Man won by a shert head. Some of the hats worn surpassed previous records, even for Ascot. It is asserted that one measured fully three feet across—“anyhow, it was as wide as a parasol.” It flaunted a tremendous red rose. Ascot has never seen such an array of “cartwheels.” Crinoline straw was especially popular. Seme of the hats were trimmed with massed flowers, including mammoth roses, nasturtiums, and lilies.
