J . f l l C O I i U S , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE T H E S E engravings show the advantages i this handle gives, as! each curve forms a key 1 or abutment against the elastic substance. Al­ though these handles are in two pieces from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to get them out of shape. The bats, introduced in 1890, have been used bv the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the universal testimony is thatnothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to thebatsman in cutting and driving powers. N otice in case op I nfringement . — The Patentee doesnotbindhim­ self to any number of 15, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. October 6th , 1895. D ear S ir , —I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894 and scored 131. I may mention it was perfectly new. I kept it until this year, and have bcored over 2,000 runs with it. I used it when I made my 100th century, and scored a 1,000 runs in May with it, so I think I may call it my record hat. This year, at Hatstings, I scored 104 with another of your bats, and hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W. G. GRACE.
