Aithougn torrential rauis ieli last ttiigin., tne ground was in excellent condition, ine turl was not at ail boit, but. wad just in the spongy condition which is so pleasing to Ilie7 players. Bristol nave uone none too wen in their engagements this season, so lar having been euosuintiaiiy neaten by teams of tHe cauur*: 01 jbnd-gwater and VI e",tvn, so that to-uay's game, uuiortunateiy, could ailord no reason- auie criterion to tile form Oartiifiiaus are liKeiy to snow in next inursaay's aunnyor- lauic contest at -Newport, when the blue and blacks are sure to lie very severely tested, even if tlIey are able to avoid defeat. 'mere were some cnaiigas in tne Cardiff team this atternoon. Jjouus Dy ke was unauw to play at leit centre. ±us place was taKon by mat promialug member of we Reserves, 'lorn i/vanjj.

Snepherd was playmg instead, of .Sergeant FTed 6mith, who had ueen unable to make the journey. Cardiff piayed in white, 'because of the similarity ?n the jerseys ot tne two clubs. There was no wind blowing, and the sun, which was shining directiv across the ground, favoured neither side, 'lire first five minutes saw a warm attack by Bristol, and some faulty passing by the Cardiff threes nearly let the home backs in, but Spiller came to the rescue and saved in truly gallant style. Bristol were given a free, and Norman Moore nearly landed a goal with a great kick. the ball fell just short, and Tom Evana took it beautifully and kicked well out of 1 danger. klor legs UP. Cardiff were penalised, and again Norman Moore almost landed a goal. it was from a characteristic kick to touch by Percy Bush that Cardiff at last gained relief. Just after Percy Buch was tackled on the run and lost the ball, and Bristol had a bare chance, but Kibbey spoiled by punting over the line. Percyy Busn opened up the play after receiving from Morgan. '10m Evans made a dashing -burst through the home threes, but he was not quite able to put J. L.. Williams in a position to break clear, and the visiting skipper was pulled down before going far. Up to this point Car- diff had done none too well, and the Half-time &core: Cardiff  ?points Bristol. Nil. Final score: Cafrdi? 14 points. Bi,istol .Ni?
