JAMES LILLYWHITE , FROWD & Co.'s Cane- handle Bats are universally acknowledged to be unrivalled . Being constructed on thoroughly scientific principles from the best quality and well seasoned materials , by picked workmen, they leave nothing to be desired in point of real excellence ; their durability anddriving qualities adapting them equally well for practice and for m a t c h e s. These Bats are used byall the leading Gentle- m e nandProfessional players of the day, in the country andabroad, and are largely patronised by the Military and Naval Services and the chief Colleges , Schools , and Clubs everywhere . J. L. , F. & Co. have been appointed makers to the Surrey County Club, and had the honour of making the presentation Bats given by the Committee to W. G. Grace, Esq., and W. L. Murdoch, Esq., for their fine display of batting in the grand match England v. Australia , played at Kennington Oval, September , 1880. Ourn e w" Special Driver" Bat(Frowd's Patent) has given results hitherto unattained by any other Bat, the driving power being greater , and stinging or concussion to the hands is reduced practically to nil . Areduction in weight off r o moneto twoouncesis also effected . Although this bat has only been before the public a little over a year , its success has been altogether unprecedented in the annals of cricket . The opinions expressed as to its superiority to any other Bat are unanimous , and we have received numbers of perfectly spon- taneous testimonials concerning it , someof them being quite enthusiastic , from all parts of the country, and even from the colonies . These testimonials m a ybe seen at our warehouse. A nextensive Stock always onhandto select from. C R I C K E T BALLS.
