N I C Q i i L i S , ROEERTSERIDGE, PATKlsfTF.E AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AU TOM AT IC B A T H AN D LE T HE S R engravings show the advantages i this handle gives, asf each curve forms a key 1 or abutment against the elHNtic substance. Al­ though these handles are in two pieces from the 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 thatnothing lias ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to thebatsman in cutting and driving powers.

Dear Sir,— I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894 and scored 131. I may mention it was perfectly new. 1 kej-t 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 vith another of your bats, and hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours trulv, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W. G. GRACE. in ordering Bats give the size of handle by measuring round handle: and v>ention weight. These Bats will be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can make an easy purchase.
