NICOUUS, ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rp HE 8 E engravings -1- show the advantages / this handle gives, as I each curve forms a key | or abutment against the elastic substance. Al­ though these handles are in two pieoes from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible togetthem out of shape. TTie 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 erer been brought into the Cricketingworld to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers. N otice in case op I nfringem ent . — The Patentee doesnot bindhim­ self to any number of curves. 15, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. October 6th, 1895. I)kar Sir,—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 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 bate, and hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE. In ordering Hats 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. SUBSCRIPTION ORDER FORM .
