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 by the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India ana Africa, andthe universal testimonyisthatnothing has ever been brought into the Cricketingworld to give such advantages to thebatsmanincutting and driving powers.

Dear Sir,— I used one of your bats at Hastings in 1894and scored131. 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 100 th 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 as the 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; a n i mention weight. These Bats will be sold as Nos. 1,2, and 3, so that Clubs can make an easy purchase. (C R IC K E T !
