Toowoomba Croquet Club tournaments resume after rain

B(y "Bisque.")

The Toowoomba Croquet Club's tournaments have been held up during the past week through the rain, but they are now in progress again. We are pleased to have Mrs. Cossart back with us after her long trip abroad. A team of gentlemen croquet players from England will visit Brisbane about December 31, when they will play matches on the Merthyr and Windsor lawns. Afterwards they will return to Melbourne for the Centenary croquet season, which commences about the middle of January. The Queensland team to play in the Melbourne Centenary croquet fixtures will leave about February 23, and the interstate matches commence about March 11.
