Toowoomba Croquet Club breaks for Christmas

B(Y "BISQUE.")

The Toowoomba Croquet Club was very fortunate during the past few weeks to have had such delightful weather for games at this time of the year. At the interval for tea on Wednesday last Mrs. Booth, the president, announced that no ordinary club days would be held before Wednesday, January 3, but the lawns will be available for any members desirous of arranging private games. The championship tournament will be held over until January 15, following which the other tournaments will commence.

The president also wished all members the compliments of the season. Mrs. Grahame left on Saturday for an extended holiday to Adelaide, and Mrs. Rowe and Miss C. Hooper intend spending several weeks in Geelong, leaving on Thursday. We wish them a very pleasant holiday.
