Ihave very muchpleasure inbearing m ytestimony to the great value of your "Special Driver " Bat. I really feel that I cannot do justice to it by anything I can say; Ican, however, tell youas I havedonebefore, thatI w a sextremelypleasedwiththe B a t I bought, and manyother members of the Club also bought them, and were equally pleased . The qualities the Bat was stated by you to possess , were , in my opinion , fully borneoutbythe result , for a better driving Bat I never wish to play with, andm a n y membersof Clubs I have played against have remarked on its splendid driving powers , both in"playing " and hitting . I do not wonderat the great success it has achieved , although it has only beenbrought out so recently . T oMr.G. W .F R O W D, 4, & 6, NewingtonCauseway, S.E. Y o u r struly, W M. E D W A R D S .

I have muchpleasure in bearing testimony to the uniform excellence of your patent"Driver " Bat. It is thoroughly well balanced , and never by any chance hurts the handwhenhitting . I consider it to drive quite one fourth better than any other bat. Ihave used ; and, since it has been brought before m ynotice , have on all occasions used it. Congratulating you uponyour success in having brought out such a first class bat, and trusting that a very rapid sale will recompense you for the trouble you have taken. Messrs.
