NICOhhS, RO B ERT SBR IDG E , PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE T H E S E engravings L showthe advantages this handle gives, as each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic substance. Al­ though thesehandlesare in two pieces from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to getthem out of shape. The bats, introduced in 1890, have been used bv the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, andthe universal testimonyis thatnothing has ever been brought into theCricketingworld to give such advantages to thebatsmanincutting and driving powers.

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 2,000runs with it. I used it when I made my 100th century, and scored a 1,000runs in May with it, so I think I may call it my record bat. This year, at Hastings, I scored 104with another of your bats, and hope it will turn out aswell asthe old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W. G. GRACE. In ordering Bats give the size o f 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. * J .
