J o h n W is d e n & Co. Dear Sirs,—I have much pleasure in stating that your “ Special Crown ” Cricket Balls were used in the five Test Matches played between AH 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 i n g . London County Cricket Club, Crystal Palace. Dear Sirs,—Your Cricket Balls (“ Special Crown ” ) AGAIN GAVE GREAT SATIS­ FACTION. Please send me half-a-gross for next season at your earliest convenience. I am, yours truly, To J o h n W is d e n & Co. W . G . G r a c e . Colne Bridge, Huddersfield, Sept. 14th, 1903. John Wisden & Co. Dear Sirs,—We have used your“ Wisden’s Special Crown ” Balia in our matches for the last few years, and I find it quite the best ball on the market, very seldom getting out of shape. Yours truly, W . R h o d e s . Kirkheaton, Huddersfield. Sept. 14th, 1903. John Wisden & Co. Dear Sirs,—I think the “ Wisden Special Crown ” Match Ball now used on nearly all County Grounds is quite the best ball on the market. They are not so hard to the hands when fielding as others. Yours truly, G. H . H i r s t . A Wonderful Record made with a Wisden's “ Special Crown ” Ball. 1,297 runs were scored in eight matches by the St. George C.C. Bristol, with a “ Special Crown ” Ball, presented to the club by Dr. E. M. G baok . The Balls to be used in Test Matches are now settled- WISDEN’S are the only makes permissible.
