N i c o n i i S , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE r r HE SE A show the this handle gives, as each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic substance. Al­ though these handles are in two pieces from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible togetthem out oi shape. Tlie bats, introduced in 1890, have been used by the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as haying been sent to India and Africa, and the universal testimony is thatnothing has ever been brought into the Cricketingworld to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers.

D e a r S ir , —I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894 and scpred 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 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 Bats 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.

C H E A p E r r , O N , 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 .”—NewcastleDaily 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/ ” — TheReferee.
