MAT 4, 1893 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME, 111 Undoubtedly the Best Balls I have ever bowled with. F. R. SPOFFORTH. Dear Sir,—I have given your Balls a thorough trial, and must say that I like them better than any others I have bowled with, they keep their shape and do not increase in Bize, which is a great fault with many, and a big Ball is very difficult to manipulate.—Yours truly, GEORGE A. LOHMANN. Dear Sir,—We used your Balls in the last Inter-colonial match at Sydney, they lasting well on a hard wicket, and at the same time keeping their shape right through a long innings. The cricketers are very pleased indeed with the Balls and can recommend them to anyone.—I remain Yours Very truly, C. T. B. TURNER.
