NICOLLS , Patentee and Manufacturet ot The Patent Automatic Cricket Bat AND SPORTS OUTFITTER. A Copy of Dr. W . G. GRACE’S Letter. 15, Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol. Dear S ir,-1 used one of your Bats at Hastings in 1894, and I 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 I scored 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 I hope it will turn out as well as the old one. Yours truly, To Mr. L. J. Nicolls. W . G. GRACE. Orders from K. 8. RANJIT3INHJI for the Patent Bat. The Patentee does not bind himself to any number of curves in handle.
