A combined bridge and euchre party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Quirk, New street, last night. The proceeds of the entertainment will augment the funds of the Dalby Croquet Club. There was a large attendance, there being 10 tables of bridge, and a large number playing euchre. The winners of the prizes were:—Bridge: Lady's first, Mrs. Stewart Jack; lady's consolation, Miss May Conroy. Man's first, Sergeant W. [?Flori]; consolation, Mr. J. McFarland. In the euchre the lady's first prize was won by Mrs. E. Taylor, and the man's by Mr. Wilson. The consolation prizes went to Mrs. C. W. Fink and Mr. W. Hoffman. A delectable buffet supper was served, the long table being beautified with bowls of brightly coloured zinnias. During the evening the competition for guessing the weight of the cake was finalised. Three people, Mrs. N. Nicholls, Mrs. A. White, and Mrs. A. L. Olsen guessed the correct weight, 7lb 3oz. and in the draw Mrs. Nicholls was successful. The cake, which was a beautifully iced, square fruit cake, was made and presented to the club by Mrs. Quirk. Mrs. W. H. Coulson (president of the club) thanked the host and hostess for placing their home at the disposal of the Club.
