Although these handles are in tw o pieces from the shoulder of the blade, it is im possible to get them out of shape. These bats, introduced In 1889, have been used by the best Cricketers o f England, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the uni­ versal testimony is that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in batting and driving powers.

Undoubtedly the Beat Balls I have ever bowled with. F. R. SPOFFORTH.

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.
