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 . These Bats are used byall the leading GentlemenandProfessional players of the day, in the country and abroad, andare largely pat- ronised by the Military and NavalServices and thechief Colleges ,Schools ,and Clubs everywhere . A nimportant feature in our warehouse is a roomfifty feet long,which is entirely devoted to thestorage andseasoning of Cricket Bats, which, after being made by us from best quality and well-seasoned willow, are then thoroughly oiled and kept at a sufficiently high temperature during the winter months to bring them into first class condition for the next season , or to fit them for export to the hottest climates . The importanceofthis cannotbe overrated. Ourn e w" Special Driver " Bat (Frowd's Patent) has given results hitherto unattained b y anyother Bat, the driving powerbeing greater , andstinging or concussion to the hands is reduced practically to nil . Areduction in weight of from o n eto t w oouncesis also effected. Thesuccess of this Bat during 1881 , the first season's use, wasaltogether unprecedented in the annals of Cricket , and this has been fully con- firmed bythe results of the subsequent seasons . Theopinions expressed as to its superiority to any otherBatare unanimous, and weare constantly . receiving great numbers of perfectly spontane- ous testimonials concerning it, some of them being quite enthusiastic , from all parts of the country , and from the colonies . These testi- monials m a ybe seen at our warehouse. A nextensive Stock always on hand to select from. C R I C K E T LONDON B A L L S..
