THE UNIVERSITY POST.

With screws, spanner, or T-shaped pins. The Posts are extra strong, 3½ in. square, the metal parts in nickel and brass, and are fitted with the portable feet. Price, poles only, 56/0 Complete with steam-tarred net, centre guide, 76/0
SLAZENGER’S STADIUM (COLONIAL) POSTS.
SLAZENGER MAKER.
As used at the All-England Championship Meeting, Wimbledon, and at the Queen’s Club and leading Tournaments.
The system of winding is such that the minimum amount of power is required, a gradual strain upon the net being easily obtained, while the jerky action, which has been found so often to break the net-cords, is entirely obviated (see illustration). The Base is constructed in two parts, allowing the Pole to be easily detached, and rendering the same most convenient for packing or removing at nightfall, while the feet are enamelled so as to better withstand bad weather and rough usage. Price, poles only, 62/6
