CROQUET TOURNEY
North Island Meeting
■ Excellent entries have been received for the North Island croquet tournament, which will commence at Wanga- ; nui to-morrow morning. Among the competitors will be Mrs, Anstice, Palmerston North, who will leave on January 10 as emergency player in the New Zealand team visiting Australia. Mr. Arthur Ross, Dominion secretary, will probably be at Wanganui, and Captain Hartnell, New Plymouth, Dominion champion, will call in on his way from New Plymouth to Australia. Last year, the entries for the tournament, which was held at Rotorua, numbered about 120. This year they already total 200. So many low handicap entries have necessitated the handicap singles being split into two sections, the first numbering. 37 and the second numbering 20. ' Owing to the indisposition of Mrs. A. Crawford, Wanganui, who has so successfully managed the North Island and also the Dominion croquet tournaments on several previous occasions, the tournament this year will be managed by Mrs. W. Mayes, Palmerston North, assisted by Mrs. Bassett-Smith, Wanganui, The lawns of both the Wanganui and the Gonville Croquet Clubs will be used, and, owing to the abnormally dry weather, they are very fast. j
