(y "Bisque.")

The weather during the last week was ideal for out-door sport, and there was a large attendance of members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club on playing days. The lawns, having made a wonderful recovery since the last rain, were very fast to play on. We are pleased to see Mrs. Goodrich back with us again, also to welcome a player, Mrs. Wilson, from Gatton.

The tournament is slowly coming to the finals, but there are still some new trophys to be played for. The committee are busy making final arrangements re the Downs Pennant, which will be competed for by all Downs clubs.
