Dear Sirs,— Before leaving for home, I should like to hear testimony to the Bats you supplied me with and which I have used nearly all the tour. I must also speak in praise of your “ Special Crown ” Cricket Balls, which, of course, we have used in all the Tests and many other Matches, they are less hard on the hands, in my opinion, than any other make.—Yours faithfully, W arwick W . A rmstrong . S.S. “ China,” 18th, Sept., 1905. Messrs. John Wisden & Co. Dear Sirs,—During the tour of the 1905 Australian Eleven, your “ Special Crown” Cricket Balls were the only halls used in the Test Matches, and they gave every satisfaction. W e also used your “ Special Crown” Balls in nearly all our matches, and I must say that they are the best Balls in the market, heing less severe on the hands and hats than other balls, besides lasting as well, nothing but your “ Special Crown ” Balls are used in the International and Inter-State Matches in Australia, and we find them in every way suitable to our hard grounds. A ll the members of the 1905 Australian X I. used your “ Crawford Exceller ” Bats, and we all like them better than any other bat in the market on account of the handle you put in them.— Yours sincerely, Joe D a rlin g , Australian XI. From the EveningStandard&St. James'sOazette Monday, May 29th, 1905. AU STRAL IAN S OBJECT TO THE BALL A slight delay occurred at the start, as the Australians would not use the ball provided. Darling returned to the pavilion where Jack­ son met him, Jones taking out the new ball which also was rejected, Noble running in to fetch the desired brand. The desired brand was a John Wisden & Co.’s “ SPECIAL CROWN.” F. S. Jackson has agreed to your “ Special Crown ” Balls being used in all the five Tests. There were not any of yours here, so we lent them three until they received some from you.—Yours very sincerely, Job D arlin g. The B&IIb to be used in Test Matches are now settled. WISDEN’S are the only makes permissible. F rom Dealers all over the world, and 21, Oranbourn St., London, W.C. City I f t n t ii B B lB ir ilK t 00., CHEAPSIDK. H.

The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— The following letter from the Editor of the “ Handbook to Ceylon Cricket and other Field Sports ” will speak for itself : In a recent issue of your popular weekly I notice that you have published incorrectly the results of the matches which the Ceylonese Team that visited Bombay last February were engaged in. Out of six matches played Ceylon won three ; the rest were drawn. Ceylon beat the Parsees by an innings and 30 runs, the Islam Gymkhana by an innings
