These can be either used empty, or weighted with sand or water to any extent required. In keeping Cricket Grounds in order, a heavy roller is absolutely necessary, and these from the great advantages they possess, are rapidly superseding the old open cylinder rollers, which are practically useless when the ground is at all dry. An ordinary 24-inch garden roller weighs about 8 * cwt., whereas the new patent 24-inch when loaded weighs 8 cwt., and other sizes in proportion. The latter, therefore, is not only vastly more effective, but in reality cheaper than any other kind, and the advantage of having in one roller either a heavy or. light implement at pleasure must be manifest to everyone.
