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 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. 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 1>ari,i\o, Australian XI.
