Prior to its intro- duction it had for manyyears been deemed that the solid cane handle was the " ne plus ultra " of perfection ; but in the Special Driver " a great advance was obtained in elasticity and absence of jarring to the hands , andthe advantages of these improvements can hardly be over estimated . So highly appreciated were the qualities of the "Special Driver," that it promptly took the sympathies of the Cricket world by storm, andits success was immediateand certain . This verdict has been amply confirmed by the result of several seasons ' testing , and although other makers have, as a natural consequence , endeavoured to obtain similar qualities by other methods, the productions have one and all proved inferior in design , material and workmanship, and FROWD'S "Special Driver " has honestly earned and maintainedthe title of the "Kingof Cricket B a t s." Testimonials, absolutely spontaneous, to the remarkable efficiency and durability of these Batsare continually being received b y us from all parts of the world .
