Euchre and bridge tournament raises club funds

The euchre and bridge tournament in aid of the funds of the Toowoomba Croquet Club was held in the Alexandra Hall last night, but unfortunately there was only a moderate attendance. The ladies attended in fair numbers, but gentlemen were noted for their absence. In the euchre games thirteen tables were occupied, whilst eight bridge tables were played at. Of the twelve euchre games played five ladies tied with nine games apiece, and in the cut Miss Harrap scored first prize, and Mrs. Bane the second. Mr. Rigon won ten games, thus winning first prize, whilst two others tied for second place with nine games, and Mr. Carmody won the cut. For the bridge, Miss N. Filshie won first prize and Miss Tina Walker second. Mr. C. Robertson won the first gents., and Mrs. Marshall (playing as a gentleman), the second. Mrs. Hart, the patroness of the Club, presented the prizes to the winners. Miss Rene Paterson and Messrs. Petford and J. Stark acted as markers for the euchre party, Mr. J. J. Petford being the M.C.
