D e 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 100t 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 w ll as the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE.

CRICKET SONGS, b , n o r m a n g » l e . c h e a ^ £ ° o n > 1/- “ 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 .”—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 .
