F. R. SPOFFORTH. Dear Sir,—I have given your Balls a thorough trial, and ffiust say that I like them better than any others I have bowled with, they keep their shape and do not increase in size, 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 niatch 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 thi m ils and can recommend them to anyone.—I remain lours very truly, C. T. B.

These bats, introduced in 1889, have been used by ihe best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the uni­ versal testim ony is that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in batting and driving powers.
