PATKNTKE AN D M ANU FACTU RER OF TRF A U T O M A T I C B A T H A N D L E . f P rin ted on special pape r, nea tly bound in d a r k g reen c lo th , w ith gilt le tte ring . r p H E S E Engravings show the advantages this Handie gives, as each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic substance. The formation of this handle also givea j ustthe amount of spring that is re­ quired, the curve in­ stantly replacing itself into position after the ball has been struck. Although these handles are in two pieces from t^e shoulder t >the bladr*, it is impossible to get thtm out of shap3. Ihe tfats have been used by the best Cricketers of Eugland, Australia and New Zsiland, as well as having been sent to India aud Africa, and the uni­ versal testimony is ihat nothing has e\er been brought into thrj cricket­ ing woijd to give fuch advantages to tue Lats- m m iu cutting aud criving powers.
