lUBTBALIAN AND N.Z. CAULI ASBOOIATION. iI.ONDUN. Sept. 2-T. The All Blacks ] laved the foul ill match of their tour to-day at Gloucester." and. in the face of considerable disadvantages, they wore not only successful in winning the mat'll, hut also in an. e mere keel ing their own line inlaid . The weather was atrocious, hut, notwithstanding this, there were 20.0f!0 I mple present, w ho took a lively interest in the j lay and were most demonstrative.

At an eaily stage Dallev reached the line, hut he was knocked dwn at the earlier tlag. The A’l Blacks kept up their attack, and. within ten minutes Donald got over. Nieh--dls failing with tbc kick. N.Z. T - Gloucester 0. Dallev was again thrown out at tlie corner tlag. hut almost immediately the New Zealand half worked himself into posit am for a drop kick at goal, and he only missed it by in: lies. A penalty was then given against the local men for offside, and the New Zealand fullI a: k took a place kick. Ne; ia landed the hall over the bar. hut tlie score was disallowed as it had touched an opponent. At this .singe, the All Black forwards were dominating the game, and they were eonlining the play to Gloucester’s twenty-live; Gut Ilrirt twice dropped ] as-cs that might have led to a score. The New Zealander's line kicking 'was excellent but tlieir backs showed the same faults as in their | rev ills- matches. They were deli.ieut in the piercing qualities netessary to drive a sonic home, and their pa-sing was too wide, and 100 lunch at random. Both sides were playing a hard nmi-seicntilie game.

Glom ester’.s forwards gained possession in most of the serums, hut their ha ks were not sm.irt enough to take advantage of tiiis. and ttstmlly tlu-y resorted to kicking for the line, instead of try ing to | ass. Gloucester had two international | layers, Corbet t and Pickles. and these were conspicuous on the local side, both in attack and in defeme. Towards the end a heautilu! movement nil the blind side of the
