CRICKET BATS

MERITS OF THE "HERBERT SUTCLIFFE" BAT.

The blade is made from the finest English Willow seasoned under per- fectly natural conditions.

The handle, which is guaranteed not to break, is constructed from the best possible materials in a manner which entirely eliminates jar. Its driving power is unexcelled.

Its balance is perfect.

"Having givon the Stuart Surridge “ Horbort Sutcliffe " bat a very exconded and thorough trial I have no hesitation in recommending it as one which, in my opinion, is not excelled. The oase with which it drives, the absence of jar to the hands, owing to the resiliency of the handie, and the perfect balanco, aro out- standing features among its many unrivalled qualities which have influenced me in my decision to use no other."-Herbert Sutchfe.

The phrase, "a creature of impulse commonly denotes a self-indulgent, pleasure-loving, Sergeant headstrong nature. Troy, in Hardy's novel "Far from the Madding Crowd," was pre-eminently of this type.

In spite of his aristocratic ancestry he was only a sergeant of dragoons, having abandoned an attorney's office through' l- curable mental laziness. He proved himself no mean soldier, popular with his men on ac- count of his prowess with the sword and his careless good *humour. Women found - his dashing, impetuous manner ir- resistible and learned too late that they had trusted them- selves to a dissolute scoundrel. Poor Fanny Róbin, the orphan mald-servant was deserted by Troy for rich Bathsheba Evor- dene, whom he married and proceeded to ruin by his ex- travagance, Bathsheba in turn. was deserted while Troy roam- ed almlessly about the world. Finding it difficult to eke out his existence, the sergeant re- turned to his wife, but was shot by a former admirer of hers.

The tragedy of such as Ser- geant Troy, is that great per- sonal charm, considerable in- telligence and force of char- cter are more than counter- balanced by a weakness of will. and infirmity of purpose which invariably set them on the road of least resistance, a course. whose ultimate goal' is failuro and disaster.
