Toowoomba Croquet Club begins the new year

The first club afternoon in the new year of the Toowoomba Croquet Club was held last Saturday under ideal weather conditions. The lawns were showing the benefit of the recent light dressings and were in good playing order. As six of the members intend leaving next week to take part in the interstate matches in Brisbane, competition was perhaps a little more keen than usual. During the past week the Sandgate Trophy was finalised. Mrs. N. Fox was the winner. This prize makes the third which she has annexed for the year. The results of the play were as follow:—

Mesdames Bridgman and C. Hooper 26

Mesdames Goodrich and Marshall 23
