THE ANTI-STYLOG.RAPH is a SelfFeeding Reskryoir T?es, and differs from all Stylographs from the fact of its being not a writing point but a true pen, nibbed in the ordinary way, and changeable at pleasure. _ THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH is ready for instant use toithout 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.

"The ANTI-STLOGRAPH supplied- by Thomas De la Rue &Co., is correctly described as a 'selffeeding reservoir penholder, carrying a pen with ordinary nibs.' It is an admirable invention, and enables the writer to preserve the distinctive features of his handwriting. Instead of producing strokes of uniform thi<;kn,ess the. strength of the up anp down strokes can^be varied at pleasure, according to the character of the nib employed. It writes freely with any good ordinary ink, and is certain to become popular." — Morning Post. "The Anii-Styl^graph. — Messrs Thomas Dela Hue and Co. send us some specimens of.their AsilSTYiiOGRAPH— a tuoular penholder containing a self-regulating supply of ink. This useful con : trivance is due to the ingenuity of Mr T. A. Hear-, son, Professor 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 materially from the Stylograph, which, with its hard fine point, is-un-suited for some styles of writing. To those who have to write much at oild 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 inkstank, while it preserves all the character of a person's handwriting, and, what is even more important, of .his signature." — Daily .News. LAWN TENNIS. RACQUETS, BALLS, NETS, COURT MARKERS. THE "DIAMOND" RACQUET, Registered. 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 much greater surface. 2. The interlaced and diagonal mesh of the " Diamond " Racquet holds each string , in its place. 3. This elasticity ia especially appreciated for backplaying, no force being required to return the service. 4. The ballcan be " served " or " volleyed" with the greatest precision. 5. The practice of " cutting " or "screwing" is particularly facilitated by the form- ' ation of the mesh, 6. The " Diamond " Kacquet does not destroy the balls as in the case with knotted-strang Racquets. NEW ZEALAND CHRISTMAS CAEDS, FOR SENDING ABROAD.
