S.W. 15, Victoria Road, Clifton, Bristol. October 6th. 1895 D e a r S ir ,— I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894 and scored 131. 1 may mention it was perfectly new. 1 kept it until this year, and have tcoied 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.

H l C O b L S , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rr H E S E -1- show the this handle each curve forms a or abutment against the elastic substance. Al­ though these handles are in two piec *s 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 testimonyis that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers.
