South Brisbane v Toowoomba croquet tournament begins

A singles and doubles tournament between the South Brisbane and Toowoomba croquet clubs was commenced on the latter's courts yesterday, when the weather was refreshingly crisp, fine and bright. The games were interesting and in some instances very exciting, and are still undecided. Play will be resumed this morning, when it is anticipated some good play will be witnessed. Mesdames W. A. Bain, C. J. Crocker, Corbett and Miss Campbell were hostesses for the day, who arranged a very dainty morning tea, luncheon, and afternoon tea at tables set at the side of the club house. In addition to the Metropolitan visitors, who were Mesdames Mallalieu, G. Mackay, C. Noble, Messrs A. P. Pain and H. Wills, there were present during the day Mesdames Hugo Horn (hon. sec.), J. H. Munro, H. J. Stark, Stanley Hobson, Gerard Boyce, R. J. Wonderley, R. Sinclair, D. Cramond, Kingsford, W. Robinson, W. C. Peak, Elliott, F. McLeod, Gordon, J. R. Nicoll, and Miss Filshie. To-day Mesdames Gordon, Elliott, Isaacs and Miss Filshie will be the hostesses.
