THISBAT has attained by far the greatest success of any Bat that has ever been brought out. Prior to introduction it had for manyyears been d e e m e dthat the solid canehandlew a s 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, and the 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, and its 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 work- manship, and FROWD'S" Special Driver " has honestly earned and maintained the title of the " Kingof Cricket Bats." Testimonials , absolutely spontaneous , to the remarkable efficiency and durabi- lity of these Bats are continually being received by us from all parts of the world .
