SIR, Iused one of your patent (" Special Driver ") Bats during the greater part of last season , and have great pleasure in testifying to its great driving powers, and the absence of jarring . It drove quite as well the first time of use, as it did after being in use for two months. You m a y certainly add m ynameto that of others who have used and approvedof them.

A tthe beginning of the season I got from you various cricketing materials , all of whichhave been very satisfactory . Amongstthem there was a " Special Driver " Bat (price 21s.), andthis has given special and universal satisfaction . M a yI ask you to send at your earliest convenience another similar " Special Driver" B a tthat, I trust, m a y prove equally successful ? J. E. C L A R K S O . I a m, Yours sincerely , T oMessrs.
