The Dalby Croquet Club house was attractively decorated on Tuesday afternoon when the club held its Melbourne Cup afternoon. About 70 card players accepted invitations to attend, and, in addition to their game, they were able to listen to a broadcast of the running of the Melbourne Cup. Mrs. C. J. Thompson won first prize in the bridge competition, with Mrs. J. Bostock (Brisbane) second. The euchre prizes were won by Mesdames L. Wilson and J. Ashmore. Afternoon tea was served buffet style.
