NlCOMiS, ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AN D M ANU FACTU RER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rr n E S E engravings 1 show the advantages i this handle gives, a sl each curve forms a key ! or abutment against the 1 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 that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers.

D k a r 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 scored 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 mv record bat. This year, at Bastings, I scored 104 vith 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. In ordering Pats give the size of handle by measuring round handle; and mention weight. These Bats will be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can make an easy purchase.
