Adding multiple records to DataSource

[Mr. Gravity]

I have a situation where the data for the grid will be returned in batches of 1000 records. I need to poll for this data and update the grid. I've tried using dataSource.add() and passing in a bunch of items, but it only ever adds the first item. Am I going to need to add one item at a time to the dataSource or is there something I am missing?

var myGrid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
myGrid.dataSource.add({

                    name: 'Name 2',

                    fileType: 'Microsoft Outlook Note',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 2/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 3',

                    fileType: 'Microsoft Word Document',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 3/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 4',

                    fileType: 'JPEG/JFIF Image',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 4/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 1',

                    fileType: 'Portable Document Format',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 1/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 2',

                    fileType: 'Microsoft Outlook Note',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 2/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 3',

                    fileType: 'Microsoft Word Document',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 3/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 4',

                    fileType: 'JPEG/JFIF Image',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 4/Something/Collection/'

                },

                {

                    name: 'Name 1',

                    fileType: 'Portable Document Format',

                    pathName: '/Evidence 1/Something/Collection/'

                });
