T H E S E Engravir gs ■*- sbow the advantages this E andie gives, hs each curve forms a key or abutment against the elastic sutfrtanop. The formation o f this handle alsogivet- just the amount of spring that is re­ quired, the curve in­ stantly replacing itself into position after the ball has been struck. A11hough tfcese handles are in two pieces from the shoulder to the blade, it is impossible to get them out of shape. fl 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 woild to give ."uch advantages to the tals- man in cutting a'.d driving powers.

D rab S ir ,— I used one of your bats at Hastings ii 1 894 and scored 131. I may mention it was perfectl) new. I kept it until this year, and have scored ovei 2,000 runs with it. I used it when I made my 10011 century, and scored a 1,000 runs in May with it, so J think I may call it my record bat. This year, at Hastings, I scored 104 with another of your bats an< hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours truly To. Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE.
