TO CRICKET PLAYERS.

JUST RECEIVED, a supply of CRICKET BALLS,
with the latest improvements suggested by A. MYNN,
Esq. They are of the same weight, size, and spirit as the best
Balls, and stood, last season,
i three months' hard batting, with-
out receiving any particular injury. They are perfectly Water-
proof; the spirit and weight being maintained to the last, which
cannot be said of Leather Balls. . .

N.B.—Old Leather Balls re-covered with Gutta Percha, at
3s. each, at the

GUTTA PERCHA DEPOT,
121, DALE-STREET,
(OPPOSITE MANCHESTER-STREET,) LIVERPOOL.

BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

FAIRBANKS' WEIGHING MACHINES, with or
without Pooley's Patented Improvements, adapted for
Shops, Wharfs, Roads, and Railwais.
HENRY POOLEY AND SON,
27, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
CONTINUE THE
SOLE MAKERS UNDER THE PATENT.

Some of their advantages are—
I.—Economy in Price ; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent.
ll.—Economy in Time and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied in weighing is entirely saved.
M.—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or
Scale ; no fixtures are required for suspension ; no room is oc-
cupied by weights.
IV.—Economy in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe-
riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their
bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo-
ment of ascertaining the weight.
As a Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads,
and for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe-
culiarly adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only
fifteen inches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in
the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the
old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of
FAIRBANKS' MACHINES,
OF
POOLEY'S MANUFACTURE,
has induced many imitations, having a professed and specious
resemblance, at a low price. To guard the Public from imposi-
tion, and the invention from losing its high standing by the
hands of incompetent makers,
THE TRUE MACHINE
IS NOW OFFERED AT PRICES FULLY AS LOW AS THE
IMITATION,
Thus placing it within the reach of every Trader.
MESSRS. POOLEY AND SON,
are Makers to the Hon. Board of Ordnance, and by special
appointment to the London and North-Western, the Midland,
and other leading Railway Companies.
Ironmongers and the Trade supplied on liberal terms.
