LONDON, 23rd August,

There- was enormous interest at Bristol in the match, between Australia and Gloucester. Thousands waited outside far hours, despite only a remote possibility of play late in the afternoon. About 8000 were admitted when the gates opened, but the torrential rain yesterday has left the ground still very drenched, though there was a drying wind all the morning. From the Australian team "Woodfull, Wall, Oldfield, and Fairfax were omitted. Winning the toss from Beverley Lyon, Kichardson sent in his opponents on a bad wicket for the first time on the tour. Four wickets fell in little more than an hour for 32 runs. The New Zealander, Dacre, has completed his residential qualification, and is now a regular Gloucestershire professional. He gave a'Beckett an easy catch. A strong wind caused the ball to play additional tricks. The remaining batsmen repeatedly failed to connect. Parker was warmly cheered, the crowd sympathising with him on his exclusion from the Test match. Gloucestershire's innings is the second lowest against Australia during the tour, and ended in 130 minutes. Everything favoured the bowlers. Not even Hammond batted confidently. The following are the scores:— — GLOUCESTER. First Innings. Dipper, c Richardson, b Hurwood 1 Sinfield, c Walker, b Hurwood .... 1 Hammond, c 'a'Beckett, b Hornibrook , ...... 17 B.
