D eo 22, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME 467 BUSSEY’S “DEMON DRIVERS. GEO, G. BUSSEY & GO Desire to inform Cricketers all over the world who may experience a difficulty in ob­ taining “ Demon Drivers ” that this difficulty arises in consequence of the ever-increas­ ing demand exceeding the supply. Eeaders of G e o . G . B u s s e y & Co.’s pamphlet, entitled “ Evolution of the Demon Driver,” are aware that a fea­ ture of the success of the “Demon Driver ” is due to a special process, occupying a long period, that the bats under­ go before leaving the works, and although there are always a large number of Bats under this treatment which could be placed on the market, G e o . G . B u s s e y & Co., in the interest of cricketers and their own repu­ tation, will not deviate from the system that has made the The Finest Bat the World produces.

Waddy, who was not out 85 at the closeof the day, is amember of the SydneyUniversity C.O., and is a cousin of the Kev. P. S. Waddy, the old Oxford University Blue, who made 93 and 102 for the West Maitland XVIII. last December against the M.C.C. team. Howell was not out 59. On Monday, Howell hit with great power, and in the course of his fine inniugs he made twenty fours. When South Aus­ traliawent in .Darling alone could offer any resistanceto thebowlinguntil Reedmancame in when six wickets were down. Darling surprised Australian cricketers by his fine display, for it is not often that a man who has givenupfirst-class cricket for alongtime canget backhis old form again. Monday’s play endedwhen the first innings of South Australiawas concluded. NewSouthWales wonby aninnings and 120 runs. N e w S o u t h W a l k s . E .A .
