ON MANAWATU CLUB’S GREENS. A croquet gala day, the proceeds of which are to augment the funds of the Manawatu Croquet Association, was opened this morning on the greens of the Manawatu Club. The fixture was under the control of Mrs A. Rhodes-Williams and a committee, and a series of competitions, including a number of novelty events, were contested, trophies having been donated by local croquet enthusiasts. The green 9 were in excellent playing condition, and an enjoyable time was spent during the forenoon, although showers after midday somewhat marred the pleasure of those present. There were many visitors present in addition to members of the local clubs, the former including players from Auckland, Wellington, Otaki and other districts. The competitions and those in charge were as follow: —French croquet, Mrs Clarke; golf croquet, Mesdames McLeod and Rhodes Williams; pegging competition, Mrs Mills; angles, Mrs Flint; break. Mr 3 Corbridge; target, Mesdames Robertson and Campbell; putting, Mrs Rhodes Williams; progressive croquet, Mesdames Bull and McLeod. A committee of ladies under Mrs C. A. E.
