Record attendances before the inter-state tournament

There have been record attendances at the Toowoomba Croquet Club's lawns on club days during the past week, due probably to the approach of the inter-state tournament, which opens in Brisbane next month. The Toowoomba club has nominated the following:—Mrs. Bridgman, for the gold medal event; Mrs. Boyce, gold brooch; Mrs. Fox, silver medal; Mrs. Wilson, bronze medal. Other members have entered. Members' play will be watched with great interest.

The A grade players from the West Toowoomba and Toowoomba clubs were favoured with perfect weather when they took part in the play-off of their home and home match on Monday, consequently the players spent a most enjoyable afternoon together. The honours on the day's play went to the Toowoomba club, with a win of 19 points.

The annual meeting of the club has been arranged for August 6.
