DALBY, Friday.—Mrs. W. J. Vowles presided over a meeting of ladies called to appoint officers for the croquet club, and held in the bowling club house last night. The meeting agreed that the club should be called the Dalby Croquet Club, and that the headquarters be in Bell Park, known as the Recreation Reserve.

Officers appointed were: Patron, Mrs. W. A. Russell, Jimbour; president, Mrs. W. J. Vowles; vice-presidents, Mesdames J. D. Allen, W. H. Coulson, and J. Thompson; secretary, Mrs. R. J. Rust; treasurer, Mrs. R. B. Gillespie; committee, Mesdames J. B. McLean, E. S. Coutts, T. Quirk, W. Thomas, G. Singleton, and W. Hoffman.

The club rules were discussed, but held in abeyance until next meeting.

Prior to the meeting closing Mrs. T. Jack thanked Mrs. Vowles for launching the club, and spoke of the hard work she had put into it. Members were delighted that Mrs. Vowles had accepted the presidency, as there was little doubt that she had earned the position.

The bowling club was thanked for the use of its club house to hold the meeting.
