Hats on and Off at the 150th Kentucky Derby
  + stars: | 2024-05-04 | by ( The Styles Desk | David Kasnic | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
There are many associations that come to mind with the Kentucky Derby. But to be a true participant in the Derby spectacle, one needs a proper Derby hat. The tradition for wearing eye-catching attire to America’s most famous horse race began in the 1870s. The founder of the Kentucky Derby, Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., was inspired by the fashionable dress codes at events like Ascot in Britain and Paris’s Grand Prix. Creating his own, he figured, would transform his racetrack from a place of ill-repute to one for well-heeled high society.
Persons: Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr, , Organizations: Kentucky Derby, Paris’s, The New York Times, Derby Locations: Derby, Britain, Churchill Downs

The toy industry needs a Christmas miracle. Stores are overflowing with Legos and Barbies. Retailers are slashing prices and in some cases tapering orders from manufacturers to clear their shelves. Shoppers have pulled back on purchases amid high costs of gas and food, many of them waiting until after Black Friday for toy prices to drop further or spread out their spending.

Rising shipping costs are primed to squeeze profits for businesses of all sizes this holiday season. Entrepreneurs and executives say that to cope they are buying their own delivery vehicles, pleading with customers for patience and changing the products they sell. The moves, they say, are in response to carriers such as FedEx and United Parcel Service Inc. continuing to pass along price increases for service.
