Croquet club euchre party at the Alexandra Hall

Undoubtedly one of the most successful progressive euchre parties held in Toowoomba for some time, took place last night at the Alexandra Hall in aid of the funds of the Toowoomba Croquet Club, and the result must have been very gratifying to the joint hon secretaries, Mesdames Wardrop, and Hart, and the other ladies of the committee. Fifty tables were in play, while seated on the stage and around the hall were a number of lady onlookers, who took a keen interest in the play. Twelve games were played and when the result was made known it was found that the successful winners were: Ladies prize, a handsome silver-mounted mirror, presented by Mrs. Hart, Miss Pottinger 1st, with 10 games. Gentleman's prize, a silver-mounted shaving mirror, presented by Mrs. Stanley Nolan and Mrs. Sinclair, Miss Meta Dunn, who was playing as a gentleman, 1st, with 12 games. The ladies' booby prize, a silver scent bottle, was won by Miss Pobar, and the gent's booby prize, a toy, was won by Mr. Frater. The president of the croquet club, Mrs. Hart, presented the prizes to the winners.
