[BEUTBE’S TBLEGBAM. j AUSTRALIANS V GLOUCESTERSHIRE

LONDON, August 3. The Australian cricketers commenced a match to-day at Clifton against an eleven of Gloucestershire. The weather during the day was fine, and the ground was in good order, and a capital wicket was pitched. The Home team went in first. Messrs E. M. and W. F. Grace were the first to face the bowling of the Australians, but neither batsmen made a stand, Mr W. G. Grace being soon bowled for 12 and Mr E. M. Grace was caught for 11. Owing to the excellent bowling of Garrett the wickets fell rapidly, and with the exception of Messrs Moborly and W. K. Gilbert and Midwinter, none of the other batsmen were able to secure double figures. The Eleven were disposed of for a total of 108. The bowling throughout was dead on the wicket, and the fielding was excellent. Both were much admired by the spectators. The Australians commenced their innings by sending in Bannerman and Massie ; both made a fair stand, but Banuermau was at length bowled for 26, and Massie was caught when ho had put together a well played 29. Murdoch was bowled when he had contributed 17. McDonnell made a splendid stand, and succeeded in scoring 70 before he was bowled. Giffea and Palmer only succeeded in putting together 1 and 5, and when the latter was bowled the play was stopped for the day, Horan being still in with 34 to his credit.
