N IC O l iL iS , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND M ANU FACTU RER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rP H E S E engravings 1 show the advantages! this handle gives, as! each curve forms a key i or abutment against the elastic substance. A l­ 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 by 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. N o t ic e in c a se of I n f r in g e m e n t . — The Patentee does notbindhim­ self to any number of 15, Victoria Square. Clifton, Bristol. October 6th. 1895. D ear S ir ,—I used one of yonr bats at Hastings in 1894 and scored 131. I may mention it was perfectly new. I l<ept 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 my record bat. This year, at Hastings, I scored 104 with another of your bats, and hope it will turn out as well a* the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE.

By NORMAN GALE. c h e a p e r Eom oN , 1/" “ It is not surprising that a third edition of this little hook of songs should have been required by the public. Mr. Gale is both a poet and a cricketer. ‘ Cricket Songs’ are written in free, easy measures, and all of them tinged with enthusiasm, and some of them genuinely funny .” —Newcastle Daily Chronicle. “ In these pieces, which everybody, man and boy, should get by heart, there is always that quality oE expressive music which we find in Mr. Norman Gale’s more serious work—in the imperishable, sweet songs of ‘ A Country Muse.’ ” —The Referee.
