J . f l l C O h l k S , roeertsbrilge , PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rp H E S E engravings L show the advantages this handle gives, as each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic 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 aa having been sent to India ana Alrica.aud the universal tei-tinionyis that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to th<- batsman in rutting and 'driving powers.

I >kar S ir, —I used one of your hats at ’Hastings in ib94 and scorel 131. 1 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 100th century, and scored a 1,000 runs in May with it, so I think I m^y 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.
