Fashionably attired folk attend the races in Kolkata

The Calcutta Topical claimed to be "showing all the leading events of the season", and the emphasis here is very much on society rather than sport. The event was the King-Emperor's Cup Race, held at the Calcutta Race Course (built in 1820), but horses take second place to fashion. There are a significant number of affluent Indian racegoers to be spotted among the crowds.
