N l C O I i h S , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE. rp H E 8 E Eneraviogs show the advantages j this Handle gives, as each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic substance. The formation of this handle also gives j usttheamount 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 the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to get thf-m out of shape. 1 he Bats have been used by the best Cricketers of England, Australia and New Zealand, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the uni­ versal testimony is that nothing has ever been brought into the cricket­ ing world to give such advantages to the bats­ man in cutting and driving powers. . i s N o t ic e in c a sk o f I n f r in g e m e n t :—The Patentee does not bind himself to anv number of curves. Orders from K . S. RAN JITSINH JI fo r the above “ Patent Automatic Bats” Copy of GRACE’S TESTIMONIAL:— 15, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. October 6 th, 1806. D e a r S ib , —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 &cored 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.
