(Y "BISQUE.")

The lawns at the Toowoomba Croquet Club are looking very well for this time of the year, and the cool change is much appreciated by players. During the holidays the club had as visitors Mrs. Decker (Redcliffe), Mrs. Harden (Brisbane), Mrs. Cavaye (South Brisbane), Mrs. Bradfield (Brisbane).

The Novice and Singles Handicap tournaments are now starting. The Championship was played off on Monday last between Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Bridgman, Mrs. Bridgman being the winner.

Mrs. O. Booth and Miss Marjory Booth are away holidaying in Brisbane.

The club thanks Mrs. Boyce for her gift prize for one of the tournament games.

The new bisquing having been given to the players, it will therefore be most interesting to watch the result of the play in this year's tournaments.
