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 bv the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India ana Africa, and the universal testimony is that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advanlajes to thebatsman in cutting 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 2,000 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. each as Leg Guards, Gloves, Military Equipment, White Helmets, Gloves, Hunting Thongs, Whips, Cricket and Tennis Shoes, Tennis Balls, &c., &c. It is prepared in a very careful maimer, and extra precautions are taken to insure AN EVENNESS OF COLOUR. It contains nothing that will in any way injure the article to which it is applied, and if used as di­ rected a splendid white of a glossy satin- like appearance and soft silky surface is insured, which will not readily rub off. The moulds of *‘ B la n co *7are made in one size only, and will fit specially made zinc boxes, which are non-corrosive. Manufacturers:— JOSEPH PICKERING & SONS, works, SHEFFIELD.
