With the Team.)

(Received 6, 11.30 a.m.) BRISTOL, July 5. • Wonderful bdwling by DuUniilg) aud the consistent accuracy of Vivian gi-eatly helped the tourists to secure a first-innihgs' lead despite a fine firstwicket stand by Barnett and Allen, the Vigour qf the left-hander Crapp, and tbe unhurried century — his eighth oi the season— by Hammond. Dunning's stamina was remarkabie. He bowled for nearly an hour and ahalf before lunch altogetber and delivered a record number of overs in one innings for the tour. He spuu the baj. back, bowling sometimes over and Sometimes round the wicket. He had three and sometimes four short-legs Where two fine catches were made by Vivian might easily have taken more wickets. The wicket was never difficult, but rain after tea greased the bnll ahd almost spoiled the tourists' chances, espeeially when a brisk half-cfentury wa., run up by the youUgster Einmett, formerly of Devon. RobertS nobly rose to the occasiUi with a fine spell of steady bowling, his iigures for the last hour reading overs, 3 inaiddns, 13 runs, 3 wickets. The New Zealanddrs' ground fielding was ag'aih often brilliant. Anothei large crOWd witnessed play, the takings being U2()0 compared with £330 on Saturday. The Lord Mayor of Bristoi gave a luncheon to the players and extended an ofiicial welcome, New Zealand appealed againsn tlu light and play was stopped. The wicket appears likely to crumble and runs may be scarce if the pitch helps Goddard and Sinfield. Scores ; — GLOUCKSTER. First Innings. Barnett, 6 Pagje, b Diinfiihg ... 45 B. O.
