touching little ceremony took place at the tea adjournment of the Toowoomba Croquet Club yesterday, when the president, Mrs. Os. Booth, unveiled a photograph of a former vice-captain of the club, the late Mrs. Alex. Gaydon, who had for many years been a prominent member and official of the club. Loved and honoured by all who knew her, the late Mrs. Gaydon was a familiar figure at all the club functions prior to her death two years ago, and the placing of her photograph in the pavilion will serve to keep her memory fresh in the minds of the members.
