John Wisden & Co., London. 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 .

Dear Sirs,—Daring the tour of the 1905 Australian Eleven, your “ Special Crown ” Cricket Balls were the only balls used in the Test Matches, and theygaveeverysatisfaction. 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 D a r l in g , Australian XI. Fromthe EveningStandard&St. James'sGazette. Monday, May 29th, 1905. AUSTRALIANS OBJECT TO THE BALL. A slight delay occurred at the start, as the Australians would not use the hall 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 JohnWisden &Co.’s “ SPECIAL CROWN.” F. S. Jackson has agreed to your “ Special Crown ” Balls being usedin 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 Balls to be used iu Test Matches are now settled.
