THE KING AND QUEEN AT GOODWOOD.
SOME OF THE DRESSES.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. CHICHESTER, Tuesday. Goodwood had a right Royal start in every way. The King and the Queen motored up, in bright sunshine tempered by a fresh breeze, by the Princes’ Drive and into the entrance to the Royal Enclosure. The other members of the Goodwood House party entered by the Duke’s private, glasscovered way into his Grace’s Stand, where later their Majesties joined them for luncheon, returning again to the Royal Stand by way of the underground passage between the two. The Queen occupied the front seat in the car, the Duchess of Northumberland sitting beside her Majesty, while in the other seats were the King and the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. The Queen wore a white crêpe Romaine dress, the skirt being finished with a deep band of raised embroidery. The sleeves and bodice were also embroidered. The Royal hat was of white lisse, with a high Russian-shaped turned-up brim embroidered in creamy straw; there was a high white aigrette in the centre of white cut ostrich feather. Her Majesty’s jewels were a row of pearls and a diamond and sapphire brooch with diamond earrings. The King wore a dark tweed suit and a dark brown bowler hat. The Duchess of Northumberland had a simple draped dress of pale French grey crêpe Marocaine with wide sleeves to the elbows. Her Grace’s hat, a very wide-brimmed one, was of Neapolitan violet crinoline straw, with two ostrich feathers, orchid mauve in shade, which fell beyond the brim at either side.
DECIDED BY DISTANCE.
Dress for the meeting was largely decided by the distances from which people came. Those from afar were wary and prepared for any kind of weather; those from near – starting when the day had settled – wore pretty summer clothes. The Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford were of the Countess of Wilton’s party at Shillinglee. Lady Blandford wore a thin cloth coat and skirt of jade green, and a tall crowned narrowbrimmed brown hat finished with a tuft of brown and green feathers at one side. Lady Wilton was in dark blue marquisette, with stitched embroidery in copper flame and yellow ochre, and she had a wide-brimmed tulle and net hat with a thick cluster of leafless tawny and copper roses at one side. Lady Stanley, who with Lord Stanley was also at Shillinglee, was in a white crêpe de Chine dress striped with brown in wide and narrow stripes, and a brown hat. Other members of the party were Lord Ivor Churchill and Captain E. Mackenzie, The Marchioness of Milford Haven, with whom was the Marquis, wore a dress of light blue Jersey silk in large squares of plain and of shot blue and white silk, with a white gathered chiffon hat.

Previous to the racing the King had a ride in the park with the Earl of Lonsdale; and the Queen, with one or two members of the house party, took a walk in the park. Her Majesty crossed the road where the traffic was passing up to the course, but was unrecognised by the taxi chauffeurs, who, consequently, did not stop. The Queen seemed much amused at having to wait for a gap in the stream of conveyances.
