J A M E SL I L L Y W H I T E , F R O W D& Co. , 5 C C R I C K E TB A T S. JAMES LILLYWHITE, FROWD& Co.'s Cane- handle Bats are universally acknowledged tobe unrivalled . Being constructed on thoroughly scientific principles fromthe best quality and well-seasoned materials , by picked workmen, they leave nothing to be desired in point of real excellence . These Bats are used by all the leading GentlemenandProfessional players of theday, inthe country andabroad, andare largely pat- ronised by the Military and NavalServices and the chief Colleges ,Schools ,andClubs everywhere . A nimportant feature in our warehouse is a room fifty feet long ,which is entirely devoted to the storage and seasoning 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 themfor export to the hottest climates . The importance of this cannot be overrated . O u rn e w" Special Driver" Bat (Frowd's Patent) hasgiven results hitherto unattained by anyother Bat, the driving power being greater , andstinging or concussion to the hands is reduced practically to nil . Areduction in weight of from oneto twoounces is 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 by the results of the subsequent seasons . Theopinions expressed as to its superiority to any otherBatareunanimous, andw eare 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. L I L L Y W H I T E F R O W D&C L O N D O N C R I C K E T LILLY WHI LONDON ROWA B A L L S.
