Pennant matches and play at Toowoomba

The Toowoomba Croquet Club players are having a busy time just now owing to the Downs Pennant matches which are in full swing. A team from the Toowoomba Club journed to Allora and played the team there. A team from Allora made the trip to Toowoomba and met a representative team. A most enjoyable day was spent by both teams and splendid croquet was played. On the day Toowoomba had a lead of 12 points. The club is looking forward to meeting the St. Andrew's players from Allora on Tuesday next in Toowoomba.

The club has lost its secretary, Mrs. D. F. Marshall, for six months. She and Mr. Marshall intend spending an extended holiday in the south. During Mrs. Marshall's absence Mrs. J. A. C. Wilson has consented to act as secretary. On Wednesday, in her position as hon. secretary, she was most thoughtful and considerate.
