Croquet club members present gifts to their president

The members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club entertained their president (Mrs. Hart) at a well arranged afternoon tea a few days ago. Progressive croquet was played, a prize (a very handsome silver vase donated by Mrs. J. J. Petford) was won by Mrs. Wardrop, which was presented in a very neat speech by Mrs. Hart. After afternoon tea Mrs. Nicoll (vice-president), on behalf of the club, made a presentation to Mrs. Hart of a handsome little gold-mounted travelling clock in a red morocco case. The beautiful gift came as a great surprise, and Mrs. Hart expressed herself delighted with it. The visitors included Mesdames Hart, Jack Cameron, Nicoll, Wardrop, Mowbray, Hammond, Bambury, Munro, Byram, J. J. Petford, Hobson, Stark, Cramond, Boyce, Marshall, Cohen, Chapman, W. Robinson, Mackay, Dowling (Talgai), Bain, Beirne, Hodge, Wonderley, Hubband, Smith, O'Kelly, Misses Cole (Sydney), Graham, Munro (2), Petford, Golden, [?Faunce], Mowbray, Prewett (Cairns), Harrap (2), Flegeltaub.
