N I C O l i l i S , ROBERTSBRIDOE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THk A U T O M A T I C B A T H A N D L E . r p H E S E Engravings show the advantages fk this Handle gives,as each Tf curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic substance. The ^ formation of this handle alsogives 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 the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to get them 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 t>uch advantages to the bats­ man in cutting and driving powers. ..1 1 N o tice in J cabe o f I nfringem ent .—The Patentee does not bind himself to any number of curves. Order8 from K. S. R AN JITSFNHJI fo r the above “ Patent Automatic Bats.** Copy o f GRACE’S TESTIMONIAL:— 16, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. October 6 th, 1895. D e a r S ir , —I used one of your bats at Hastings ii 1894 and scored 131. I may mention it was perfect!; new. I kept it until this year, and have scored ovei 2,000 runs with it. I used it when I made my lOOtl century, and scored a 1,000 runs in May with it, so 1 think I may call it my record bat. This year, at Hastings, I scored 104 with another of your bats am hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours truly To. Mr. L . J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE. NATIVE GUANO.
