Dear Sirs,—During the tour of the 1905 Australian Eleven, your “ Special Crown ” Cricket Balls were the only balls used in the Test Matches, andtheygaveevery satisfaction. We also used your “ Special Crown’* Balls in nearly all our matches, and 1 must say that they are the best Balls in the market, being 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. All the members of the 1905 Australian XI. 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, J oe D a r l in g , Australian XI.

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.
