Dear Sirs,—I have much pleasure in stating that your “ Special Crown ” Cricket Balls were used in the five Test Matches played between A ll England and Australia this season. At the Oval the play was delayed on the first day until some of your “ Special Crown” Balls were procured, as both teams preferred them to any others in the market. Your “ Special Crown’’ Balls gave every satisfaction in all the Test Matches, and all our team always want them in all other matches in England and Australia. Yours faithfully, J . D a r l in g .

Dear Sirs,—I have no hesitation in saying your “ Special Crown ” Balls are quite the best I have ever bowled with, they are less hard than most makes, yet keep their shape splendidly. You may like to know it was one of your “ Special Crowns” I hit over Lord’s pavilion in 1899. In Australia, too, all players insist on u&ing your Balls. I remain, yours truly—A. E. TROTT. Tavi&tock Hotel, W.C., Aug. 8th, 1901. Dear Sirs,—We have much pleasure in stating tint we preferred bowling with Wisden’s “ Special Crown ’ ’ Balls than any other make. "W e found that the Ball kept its shape perfectly, HAD JUST THE BIGHT degree of hardness, and was as pleasurable to bowl with at the end of a long innings as at the beginning.—Yours very sincerely, JAMES KOTZE,) South African Cricket GEORGE ROWE, j Team, 19J1.
