Shortly after mid-day the attendance at the Grand Stand was
augmented by the Vice-regal Party. The bank of the 11th Hussars,
stationed in the enclosure, played "God save the King"
as the Lord-Lieutenant arrived and entered the Vice-regal compartment.
His Excellency motored down from Dublin. Among those also in
the party were Lady Tronbridge, sister of the Countess of Dudley;
Miss Keyes, General Maxwell, Lord Plunkett, the Hon. Cyril Ward,
Mr. Fetherstonhaugh, Captain Cadogan, and Mr. Lionel Earle.
Mr. Horace Plunkett spent some time in company with his Excellency.
