Downs croquet tournament closes with trophy presentation

The Downs croquet tournament closed in a happy way on Friday afternoon when the players and their friends met in the Toowoomba Croquet Club's pavilion for the presentation of trophies by the president of the Queensland Croquet Association (Mrs. A. M. Austin). Tea was served at long, white-covered tables adorned with slender vases and squat bowls clustered with gay summer flowers. Shoulder sprays were presented to the Mayoress (Mrs. J. D. Annand), Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Gerard Boyce (president of the tournament committee).
