GRADIDGE ’S CRICKET BALL. The Finest Ball in the Market. By Special Appointm ent. Established 1825. T.FrancisjDaiR&sons, SOLE MANUFACTURER OS Dark’s Celebrated CRICKET BALLS. ARTILLERYPLHCE, W oo lw ich , S.E. London, 1832. Testimonial from H. P E RKINS, Esq., Secretary of the M.C C. “ Messrs DARK & SONS’ CRICKE r BALLS are the only ones in use at LORD’S CR1CKKL’ GROUND We have tried other Makers, and con­ sider DARK’S MUCH THE BEST. HENRY PERKINS, Sec , M.C.C.” From the “ F IE LD ." "CRICKET B a LLS.—A good Cricket Ball is a wondeiful specinrn of what a clever workman can accomplish. Cricketers, however, know that the most perfectly made Ball is of little value unless the best materials are used in its manufaciure. We have lately examined a samp'e of the Balls made by Messrs. DARK & SONS, of Lord’s Cricket Ground, where no Balls except those of their own make are u ed, and as far as hand and eye can judge, they could scarcely be si^p^s^d_foT^worV_- man8hip or materia). To ensure the excellence of the latter Messrs. DARK prepare their own Leather at their worke as Hildenborough.” N.B.— None but DARK’S CRICKET BALLS are ever used in the MATCHES at LORD’S CRICKET GROUND, either by tne MARYLEBONE CLUB, or the MIDDLEStX COUNTY CLUB, op in the OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE and ETON AND H, RROW MATCHES.
