Al­ though these handlesare in two pieees from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to getthem out of shape. The bats, introduced in 1890, have been used by the best Cricketers 01 England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, andthe universal testimonyisthatnothing has ever been brought into theCricketingworld to give such advantages to thebatsmanincutting and driving oowers.

D e a r S ir , — I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894and 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 wnth 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 as well a m the old one. Yours truly, To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W. G. GRACE. In ordering Hats give the size o f handle by measuring round handle; an i » ention weight. These Bats will be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can make an easy purchase. J .
