NlCOIiliS, ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rr H E S E engravings 1 show the advantages / 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 to get them out of shape. Tne bats, introduced in 1890, have been used bv the best Cricketers or England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India ana 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 driving1powers. N otice in case of I nfrin gem ent . — The Patentee doesnotbind him­ self to any number of 15, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. October Qth, 1895. D kar S ir , —I used one of your bats at Hastings in 594 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 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 size of handle by measuring round handle; an I mention weight. These Bats w ill be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can m ake an easy purchase. CRICKET SONGS. By NORMAN GALE. o h e a o ! r £ o , ° o n , V ~ “ 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.
