Al- v though these handles are v in two pieces from the 1 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 drivii g powers.

D ear S ir ,—I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894 and scored 131. 1 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 10'ith 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 as the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L . J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE. In ordering Pats give the site of handle by measuring round handle; an / u.ention weight. These Bats w ill be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can make an easy purchase.

By NORMAN GALE. 1 /- N E W A N D C H E A P E R E D IT I “ It is not surprising that a third edition of this little book 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 of expressive music which we find in Mr. Norman Gale’s more serious work—in the imperishable, sweet songs of ‘ A Country Muse.’ ” — The Referee.
