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 speakin 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 a r w ic k W . A rm strong . 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 balls used in the Test Matches, and they gaveevery satisfaction. W e also used your “ Special C row n” Balls in nearly all our matches, and 1 must say that they are the hest Balls in the market, being less severe on the hands and bats 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 “ C raw ford E x celler” 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, J oe D a r l in g , Australian X I .

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 W isden & 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, J oe D a r l in g . The Balia to be used in Test Matches are now settled.

My Lord,— I trust you will forgive the liberty I take in addressing you, but hearing that there is likely to be a vacancy in the Gentlemen of England X I., I trust you will not think me obtrusive if I venture to inform you that should you have any difficulty in supplying the vacancy, I shall be glad to step into the breach. I have played all the season for Cricklewood C.C., and have been consistently successful. In eight matches (two whole days), I have totalled 140 runs, and have been twice not out.
