Toowoomba beats Warwick in first Downs pennant match

B(Y "BISQUE.")

The Toowoomba Croquet Club's first match in the Downs pennant against Warwick, resulted in a win for Toowoomba with 102 points to 64. The next pennant match takes place on Wednesday next against Allora No. 1 Club, on Toowoomba courts.

We congratulate Mrs. Lee on winning the singles handicap with Mrs. Esler as runner-up. On Saturday, at the adjournment for tea, Mrs. O. Booth, President, welcomed Mrs. Hooper, a visitor from Ipswich and Miss Taylor (Toombul), and also expressed deepest sympathies of the club with Mrs. Rowe in the sad loss of her mother, Mrs. Wilson (Ballarat), who had been closely associated with the club for some years past.
