reporters gave them the necessary
attention.
Track: Pretty soft.
Remarks: Miss Vanderbenia ap-
peared on clubhouse lawn in a daring
frock that would have been ruled off
any bathing beach. 1t was of crepe
de transparency over nothing in par
ticular and trimmed with consider
ably less. She wore hosiery to match.
A bonnet of straw with hanging
daisies furnished the only evidence
that the lady realized she was out
doors. The minute the crowd lamped
her it was realized that she was a
sure winner, the crowd congregating
about her and herding the competi-
tion against the rail in the stretch
Miss Nanderbenia denied she was
dressing that way on bet.
Miss Crewes- -Hatton was a close
second in a frock of porch netting
trimmed with unbuttered buttercups
Had she stood in the sun the judges
might have given her first prize.
Miss Ballernal-I -Ipswitch, who fin
ished third, looked scandalous in a
radium gown. After one look at the
garment it was the opinion of experts
that it took one silkworm about II
minutes to weave it.
No arrests were made.

Remarks: Mrs. Sutton-Sutton
Saton, though Sc years old il she is
day, was a scream in a costume
her 2O-year -old daughter would have
been arrested for wearing. Shows
have been ruled off Broadway fol-
being less daring. The frock just
touched the northern boundaries OF
the knees and was ultra diaphanous
The judges questioned her before
awarding her first place, but when
she denied she was under the im7
preston she was at a swimming meet
there was nothing to do but place
her first.
Her husband threw a blanket over
her and took her home in closed
hack. He seemed very embarrassed
Mrs. Roach Rich was similarly at
tired and might have won but for the
fact she wore high shoes.
Mrs. Canta- -Canteloupe wore the
new clocked stockings and very little
else. She had a watch on the left
knee and kept breaking the crystal,
due to a slightly bow-legged condi-
ton.
Norwich, the Kentucky Derby win
ner and unbeaten champion. ran an
exhibition mile, but was snubbed py
Mrs. Diller Dodo-Doldrum as ne
passed the judges stand for coming
in uithnut heing announced.
