SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

The Races. Pleasant weather and bright bluo skies encouraged numbers of people who aro devoted to sport to attend the races at Trentham on Saturday. Tho wind, though slightly gusty at times, "was cool and refreshing, and, of course, there was no dust. The lawns looked green and fresh from the recent rains, and made a capital sotting for the frocks of the ladies, the brightlycoloured coats of the jockeys, and everprevalent khaki of our soldier boys as they moved about in ' couples or in groups. A very large number of the men had availed themselves of tho Racing Club's invitation to be present. Desert Gold, Mr. T. H. Xowry's beautiful bay, won a hearty round of applause, and added another victory to an already lengthy list as she galloped past tho winning-post in the Waterloo Stakes. As tho wind was brisk at times, tho general note struck by the frocking was a sombre one, soma "very smart models in black and navy blue taffetas were to be seen —very short and frilly. Some dainty voiles and muslins looked bright and summery amongst the darker gowns. Most of tho hats were either of Tuscan, or tagel straw, and were for the most part rather large or very small. The hats, too, were mostly in black, navy, and the darker shades, relieved in many cases with a bright rose or ribbon. Amongst tho visitors weyo Mrs. T. 11. Lowry and Miss Lowry, of Akawa, HawkeV Bay; Mrs. W. Bidwill, and Mrs. C. Bidwill, and Mrs. AV.

Woman's Anti-Gorman League. There was a largo attendance afc the meeting of the Women's Anti-German League on Saturday night. Lady Stout, in introducing Mrs. T. H. Lowry, of Hawke's Bay, the vice-president, made a few remarks on the scope and objects of the league: She urged the, neces- . sity for continuing their efforts to oust German goods from our Dominion, now and after the war. There was no doubt, she added, that a great deal of influence had been exercised by German spies, in our civil, commercial and mililife. The league's membership was increasing daily, and its correspondence had grown very .extensive, but still there was room for many more nidmbew nnd plenty for everyono to do. Mrs. Lowry dealt with some of her interesting experiences in America, where she had recently been on a visit.

She also urged members to get their friends to join the league.
