Australians . Bristol , M a y15, 16, and 17 . The heavy rain on the third day robbed the Australian team of a certain and decisive victory . Gloucestershire had a long outing , as at the end of the first day only two wickets of the Australians had fallen , and before the innings , which had lasted eight hours and forty minutes , was over, the total had reached the big figure of 503. George Giffen was the bright particular star of some generally good batting . He was at the wickets four hours and three -quarters for his 180 , and his watchful painstaking cricket was continuous to the very end. Hisbowling was too quite as effective . The Gloucestershire eleven failed utterly after their long outing and were all out for 37 from the bat . Fortunately for thecountyrain prevented anyfurther play , and Gloucestershire were left with no less than462to the bad onthe one innings played . Australians 503, Gloucestershire 41. Wickets. G. Giffen (Australians ) Overs. 6 . 3 Maidens. 3 R u n s . 1 1 (17) Gloucestershire v. Australians. Cheltenham, Aug. 17, 18 , and 19. With Murch absent , owing to a strained leg, Gloucestershire's bowling was still further weakened. Under these circumstances the county did well to get rid of the Australians for such a comparatively small total as 207. For this they were mainly indebted to the young Cliftonian , Townsend, who took five wickets at a cost of 70 runs . As in the previous match G. Giffen's bowling was too much for the Gloucestershire batsmen. The stand of E. M. Grace and Rice, who added 39, was the longest , and though the latter and Painter in the second put on 71, the result was never in doubt . The Australians wonby eight wickets . Austra- lians 207 and 37 (two wickets ), total 244 ; Gloucestershire 108 and 131. total 240. B A T T I N G A V E R A G E S . Grace, W. G., seh Inns. 2 7 T i m e s n o to u t.
