ARCHERY & ROLLER SKATES.

F. H. AYRES

BOWS.

To String and Unstring Archery Bows.

Warning.—The flat part of the bow is the outside and should be kept nearest the body in the act of stringing, or bow will in all probability be broken.

To String.—Hold the bow in the centre by either hand (whichever is more suitable to the archer), place the end on which the string is made a fixture in the hollow of the foot (not resting the bow on the ground), then pull strongly with the hand holding the centre of bow and press the string forward with the other until it reaches the nock made for it in the horn tip.

To Unstring.—The same attitude to be observed as when stringing, only pulling with the one hand and pressing with the other, so as to slacken the string, which should then be slipped out of the nock by the forefinger.

When the shooting is over, the bow should be unstrung. The bow must not be left or kept in a damp situation, and when not in use should always be kept in a bag.

,,B, Screw-on Model ... ... ,,21/0

The size of the boot should be given when ordering.

A Roller Skate should have an adjustable rubber cushion, so that the trucks can be loosened or tightened at the skater’s will. Our Skate has it!

Light weight is a great advantage.—The footboard and wheels, when made of aluminium-alloy, must make the skate much lighter than an all-steel skate. Ours are aluminium!

All-steel skates rely on rivets for securing the clamps and trucks to the footboards, and when these rust they are, to say the least, very unreliable. Ours haven’t a single rivet in them!

Strength is an asset so essential in a skate.

Note the arch in ours!

OUTDOOR GAMES.

“Gofstacle.” The New Putting Game.

Can be played all the year round. Golf balls and putters are used; the balls are four to the set, and are coloured like croquet balls. The obstacles to be played through include hoops, rings, a tunnel, a bridge, and a tray which has to be entered up an incline. The full game is very suitable for an ordinary tennis court, but can also be played on small lawns, while on very small lawns some of the hoops, &c., can be omitted. When a number of people play, as at garden parties, &c., the sets can follow each other round the same court, as on golf links; extra balls can be obtained for this purpose. Set complete in box and Book of Rules, with “Excelite” balls, 30/0. Putters 4/6 each extra.

BOLETTO

“Tonette” Regd. JEFFERIES PATENT, LONDON. Price 24/-

The newest game for small lawns. The only game for small lawns that gives as great an amount of sport as tennis. It is the outcome of long study, and the object is to give a smart, quick, dexterous game requiring but a small space. This is a want that has long been felt, and it is an ideal game for those who have neither time to keep in touch with a club, nor sufficient space for tennis at home. Ordinary tennis bats are used. A splendid game can be played on a lawn 40 ft. by 12 ft. or even smaller. Complete Set:—2 brass jointed poles with iron spike, brass bound, 2 cross arm pieces, 1 12-ft. net complete, 1 mallet, 2 guy ropes, 4 iron pegs, 2 balls, 1 book of directions with description. Complete in Box, 24/0

Gofky AN OUTDOOR GAME FOR TWO OR MORE PLAYERS GOLF BILLARDS & CROQUET FOR GARDEN, LAWN OR PARK.

This game meets the demand for an outdoor game which, whilst not requiring a large area for play, possesses in a marked degree the qualities which make Golf, Croquet and Billiards so popular. Two or more can play, and the more players the greater the chance to exercise the skill and tactics the game calls for to win it outright. It preserves the attractions of Golf so far as putting, short drives, stymies and bunkers, &c., are concerned; the nine hole game with four playing occupying about two hours with expert players.

No. 2 Set.—5 Association Gofky jacks, made from selected Lignum Vitæ, highly polished, with inset bone numbers, 2 Association cast-iron aluminium-painted holes, 2 numbered golf balls, packed in strong square iron-bound and battened case with handle on top 25/0.

KITES.

Instructions for Flying “BrooKite” Kites:—if the Operator is standing in a place sheltered from the wind, it may be necessary to send the Assistant down wind with instructions to hold the Kite over his head. The Operator then pulls the line, when the Kite will soar at once. No tails are required to balance the “BrooKite,” which is scientifically constructed, and such fixings are therefore not necessary. Should the Operator be standing in an open space, the Kite will leave the hand immediately it receives the full force of the wind. Always let out as much line as possible, and allow the Kite to float away from the hand. Then at once pull the line smartly, and the Kite will immediately soar overhead and well into the upper and steadier wind currents.

Instructions for adapting Kites to Light and Heavy Winds.—Light Winds: Kites are sent out already adjusted to fly in light breezes. Heavy Winds: Shorten bottom bridle cords by tying a loop knot in same.

THE “INTERNATIONAL,” with cork-covered handle 8/9

The “Centre Balance” Hockey Stick marks an entirely new departure in Bulger Head design, by which is secured a maximum amount of drive and strength with a minimum proportion of weight. The special feature of this improvement is the longitudinal fluting of the crook at each side of the bulge. This centre balance is of the utmost value in driving, and it is poised so delicately that it answers in an ideal manner for fast play and dexterous passing. It will be noted that the edges of the “Centre Balance” model are much wider than is possible in an ordinary Bulger stick, and this additional edge strength obviously ensures greater freedom from splitting and chipping. 8/6

The trials which have been made with the “CRENELL” patent handle demonstrate that the principle upon which it is designed affords the greatest obtainable resiliency. The stick drives with remarkable ease, and is free from jarring and stinging which is found in many composite handles. The “Crenell” handle is made up of two sections faced with rubber working in grooves one within the other, and the yielding of the sections is controlled to a nicety. A seasoned and selected ash blade is fitted, and the stick will give some remarkable results in driving power, each 10/0

THE DIRIGIBLE FLYER F. H. AYRES Ltd

THE DIRIGIBLE FLYER.

One of the principal features of the “Dirigible” Flyer is the perfect control of the steering, a slight pressure of the foot or hand on the steering bar being sufficient to guide it either side. This great advantage over every other type of sledge is obtained by its having runners of T shaped spring steel which, although flexible sideways, are otherwise perfectly rigid. It is of light construction, but will be found very strong and also most neat in appearance.

CRYSTALATE REGd BILLIARD BALLS MADE IN ENGLAND

S G 249. The Crystalate Ball is generally considered to be the best composition ball on the market, and is guaranteed. The World’s Record made with the Crystalate Billiard Ball. George Gray, playing with Crystalates in a contest at Melbourne, on August 25th, 1909, compiled a break of 836, which constitutes the World’s Record in English Billiards upon certified standard table.

Per set, 2¹/₁₆ in. 31/6; 2⅛ in. 31/6; 1¾ in, 10/6

S G 252. The Crystalate Instructional “Target” Billiard Balls. Reasons why every billiard player should use the “Target” Balls:—Because the correct division of the object-ball and the precise point where the cue-ball should be struck form the golden secret of successful play. The markings on the “Target” Instructional Balls enable the player to accomplish both these things at will. A booklet, with diagrams, sent on application. Price, per set, 63/0

Made of the finest spring steel, tempered by a special process, the slightest pressure works the handles, so that the pectorals and other muscles of the chest are put in tension in a manner extremely beneficial to the user.
