A PEN AND INKSTAND IN ONE. THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH Fitted with Non-Corrodible Pens. THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH is a SelfFeeding Reservoir Pen, and differs from all Stylographs from the fact of its being not a point but a true pen, nibbed in the ordinary way, and changeable at pleasure. THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH is ready for instant use without adjustment, and will write with any ink — black, red, or copying. It only requires to be refilled after several days' use, and may be carried in any position without risk of leakage. No inkstand is required, and there is, of course, no dipping of the pen, wnich, on the contrary, will write freely and continuously until the ink contained in the holder is exhausted. The refilling can be effected with the greatest ease and celerity. PRICES OF THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH : Pocket Shze (4| inches), fitted with NonCorrcdible Pen, 4s Cd each. Desk Size (6 inche3), fitted with NonCorrodible Pen, 5s 6d each. "The ANTi-STLOGRAPir supplied hy Thomas De La Rue &Co., is correctly described as a 'selffeetlins reservoir penholder, carrying a pen with orUinttry nibs.' It is an admirable invention, and enables the writer to preserve the distinctive features of his handwiif/iug. Instead of producing strokes of uniform thickness the strength of the up anp down strokes can bo varied at ulea&ve, according to the character of the nib employed. It wiites freely with any good ordinary ink, and is certain to become popular.'" — .Morning Post. "The An i-Styl' graph.— Messrs Thomas DeTa itue and Co. send us some specimens of their AntiStylograph— a tuoular penholder containing a self-regulating supply of ink. This useful contrivance is due to the ingenuity of Mr T. A. Hearson, Vrofessor of Applied Mechanics at the Royal Naval College. The holder is fitted with a flexible nib, renewable when worn out, like an ordinary steel pen, and thus differs mateilaUy from the St\lograpli, which, with its hard fine point, is unsuitedfor some styles of writing To those ■who have to write much at o id times and places, this Anti-Stylograph should be especially valuable, enabling them, as it does, to dispense with an ' exciseman's ' or other form of portable ink^tank, while it preserves all the c' practer of a person's handwriting, and, what is even more important, of^his sigiiati"e." — Daily Kews. ' LAWN TENNIS. RACQUETS, BALLS, NETS, COURT MARKERS. THE "DIAMOND" RACQUET, ItEGISTtKED. This is the only Racquet by which the Striker has absolute control over the ball, and possesses the following immense advantages :—: — 1. The greatest elasticity is obtained, as the strain caused by striking the ball is equally distributed over a n>uch greater surface. 2. uhe interlaced aud diagonal mesh of the " Diamond " Racquet holds each string in its place. 3 This elasticity is especially appreciated for backplaying, no force being required to return the service. 4. The ball can be " servi d " or " volleyed" with the greatest precision. 5. The practice of " cutting "or " pcrewing" is particularly facilitated by the formation of the mesh. 6. The " Diamond " Racquet does not destroy the balls as in the case with knotted-strung Eacquets. NEW ZEALAND CHRISTMAS CARDS, FOR SFNDING ABROAD.
