In presenting the guest of honour with a crystal bowl from her fellow members, Mrs. Winchconfb, the president, referred to Mrs. McCarty's loyalty and generosity to the club; and also to the good work she had done as a member of the committee for some years. Mrs. McCarty. who was accorded musical honours, suitably responded; Wairarapa. Tournament. ' ; Entries for the Wairarapa champion, ships have been extended until next Saturday. The lawns at Masterton are in excellent condition, being slightly faster than- those of Wellington": The Wairarapa players -are': particularity anxious to receive entries from Weilington, and it is hoped that expectations will be more than.realised. Announcing of Bisques. ; "[ Law 46 (b) has been slightly altered!, the additional words being introduced to encourage a player to announce definitely when he or she.is proposing to take: a bisque or half-bisque, rather than leave the inference to the oppor..ent. ;. It may! moreover, prevent * player doing what is so often done when he takes a bisque before finishing the turn. There is no. hardship^ in introducing these words; and it makes the operation, of 46 (c) more precise. ■ ■ ... -•■..; ?-X ; •■; . "in Law 48 the word "anpointed"-is altered to "requested." This must be taken to mean that the introduction of the umpire can be simply a matter of arrangement between the two players. The word "appointed" carried the suggestion of a definite appointment by a referee of a tournament,'"' though' V the laws, are devised to show how the game of croquet should be played without special reference to tournament meetings. At council tournaments where referees and umpires are" appointed, any such appointed person could be called upon to act without obtaining the agreement of the adversary. ""' Personals. .'.'•; Mr.1 R.
