The nomination for the Isle of Wight is fixed for Tues day next, at the Guildhall, Newport. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER ox EDUCATION. Yesterday afternoon the Bishop of Winchester pre sided over an influential meeting held at the Belle-vue Assembly Rooms, Bournemouth, in support of the Na tional Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Church of England. The right rev. chairman delivered a lengthy and eloquent address, in which he expressed his entire approval of the society, and commended it to public support as an agency that should be kept in vigour as well as in vitality. Proceed ing to speak of the general question of education, the Bishop said it was his conviction that the conscience clause, properly managed and arranged, was the best thing that could be adopted at the present time. He admitted, amid loud cheers, his conviction that the people of England would not endure what professed to be a purely secular system of education. He thought secular education was a contradiction in terms among a people who had the Bible given to them by God. It was possible to lead by secularities, to quicken the intellect, as well as to form externally respectable habits. We were so divided upon religious matters that there was a risk through divisions of playing into the hands of secu larists. He for one, therefore, was especially anxious to see perfect freedom to all denominations of Christians, to introduce into schools which should yet have the assist ance of the nation distinct religious teaching. He thought the plan proposed by Mr. Forster admirably adapted to meet the difficuity, and he wished to strengthen the hands of the Government in maintaining in the main their pre sent measure. THE IMPROVED RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT. At a meeting of the Bandon (Isle of Wight) local board, last night, a letter was read from Mr. Scott, general manager of the South Western Railway, on the subject of the new fast trains on that railway, which com menced running on the Ist inst. The latter stated what arrangements had been made ; and added that the steamboat company had cordially co-operated with the South Western Railway Company in the matter, but Mr. Scott complained that the Isle of Wight Railway Com pany had declined running a morning train, except on throe days a week, thus depriving Sandown and the neigh bouring towns of the advantage of the service for half the week. Mr. Scott, in his letter, asked the Sandown Board to assist the South Western Railway Company in inducing the Isle of Wight Railway Company to run their trains daily. A memorial on the subject to the latter company was adopted. THE NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE CLYDE. Yesterday the Earl of Dalhousie, as Grand Master Mason of Scotland, laid the foundation-done of the new bridge across the Clyde at Hutchesentown, Glasgow, to be called the Albert-bridge, in heuour of the late Prince Consort. Several thousand brethren belonging to the Masonic Lodges in different parts of the east and west of Scbtland, the sheriffs of the city, the Lord Provost, magistrates and town-council, members of the Merchants' Trades' House, Chamber of Commerce, and of other bodies took part in the procession. It mustered in the cathedral and marched through the principal streets to the site of the new bridge. The number of spectators was estimated at 100,000. The Earl of Dalhousie was pre sented with the freedom of the city and was afterwards entertained to a banquet in the corporation galleries.

VISCOUNTESS BEACONSFIELD. — Mr. Disraeli's wife is a lady of great force of character and many accom plishments. On one occasion she drove with her husband to the House of Commons, where he was to deliver an elaborate address on an important subject. As he left the carriage he flung the door to behind him, and her fingers, which were in the hinge, were crushed to a jelly. Repressing even a groan till he was out of sight and hear ing, lest the accident might discompose his thoughts, she then ordered the coachman to drive to a surgeon's, and submitted to a severe operation.—New York Tribune. Governor Haight, of California, has received a letter from the Premier of the Colonial Government of New Zealand congratulating him upon the opening of the direct steamship communication between the two States, and saying, " I can assure you that the inhabitants of New Zealand view with much pleasure the prospect of close an;? friendly relations with the inhabitants of Cali fornia, t which they anticipate the mail sdrvice will lead They hope, moreover, that commercial results, beneficial to both countries, will arise." NEW YORK AND STETTIN.—The North German Correspondent says that the project for establishing a direct steam communication between Stettin and N ew York is progressing favourably. The direct service will be kept up by four steamers, two English and two Ameri can. The new vessels are to be about 300 feet long, and capable of containing from 700 to 800 passengers. The first is to be completed and safely delivered at Stettin by the 20th of next March, and the second four weeks later. The company will bear the name " Baltic, Lloyd, Stettin and American Steam Navigation Company. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND TILE KING OF PRUBSIA.—The official press of Berlin have stated that the visit of the King of Prussia to Ems is only an act of courtesy, but other interpretations have been put upon it. It is said that the Russian Government regards with a jealous eye the fortifications which Prussia has built in the Island of Alsen and on the coasts of the Baltic. Prince Gortschakoff did not conceal from Count Bismarck the annoyance which his Government experienced at the prospect of Prussia attaining the command of the Baltic, to which Russia would wish to have a free access. As the Vice- Chancellor of the Czar has not followed up his observa tions with any definite policy, King William has made many friendly protestations to the Emperor, doubtless in the hope of preventing any more energetic remonstrances on the part of Russia. The London correspondent of a Manchester paper says : We adjourned, I need not now be ashamed to say, to go to the Derby. Mr. Gladstone's ,presence on the Downs on Wednesday sets us all at ease on that point. I am told by a friend who was on the Gran 4 Stand that the presence of the •right hon. gentleman. excited the greatest interest and curiosity among the halitues. With great prudence he had placed himself in the charge of Lord Granville, who is, I need not say, as much at home on the racecourse as he is everywhere else, and who piloted his chief through the crowd with the most assiduous and amazing care." FREE AND OPEN CHURCH.—At a meeting of the Lnndon Free and Open Church Association, the treasurer reported that, at a meeting which he attended on the 12th ult. for promoting a new church in the parish of Hoxton, he had proposed a resolution expressing the sense of the meeting that all the seats should be free and unappro priated, which resolution was carried unanimously. Also that the new rector of an important rural parish in the London diocese had abolished the pew-rents which had been illegally collected in a chapel of ease in the parish, and was taking steps to make the chapel free from appro priation of seats. r ADVERTISEMENT:I —Ho IIOWA y's Ointment and Pills.— Diseases and casualties incidental to youth May be safely treated by the use of these excellent medicaments, accord ing to the printed directions f lded round each box and pot.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY.) At the Marlborough Police-court James Leggett, a lad in the employ of Mr Morgan, 4, Pentenville-hill, was charged bl the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with working a horse in an unfit state, and Mr. Morgan was summoned for causing the horse to be ill-used by being worked. The horse was seen yesterday in Regent street, by Root Lull Young, officers of the Society, in a very bad state, and on its being exaMined by Mr Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, it was found to be lime in both forelegs, and with several sores about it, from which blood was running. Morgan said he would have the horse destroyed. It was only sent out yesterday because he was short of a horse. Mr. Knox fined Morgan 40s. and costs, and Leggett 10s. or seven days. EAT it AOItEINAET SUICIDE MANIA. —George Johnson, aged 28 years, and described as a smith, of No. 3, Old Bow-lane, surgeon, was brought before Mr. Lushington at the Thames Police-c,airt, charged with attempting to commit suicide. The prisoner jumped into the Tham's at Blackwell, and would have been drowned but for the heroic behaviour of a man named William Payne, of 52, Regent- street, Black wall, who gallantly went to Lis rescue. Payne nearly lost his life in the attempt. He was encumbered with his clothes and hat, but he was a good swimmer, and suc ceeded iu saving the prisoner, and held his head above water until assistance arrived. The prisoner, who appeared to be very dejected, said ho had recently lost a good situation, and had been (kinking to excess. He was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. Lushington said life was given to us for nobler purposes than to be destroyed, and severely ad monished the prisoner on the rashness and wickedness of his conduct in attempting the serious crime of self-mur der, which was contrary to all Divine and human lawd. He remanded the prisoner for a wee); and awarded 7s. 6d. to Payne for his bravery. Mary Ann Schroeder, a bloated and dissipated woman, was next charged with attempting self-destruction. She has been living at No. 5, Richards street, Stepuey. A woman named Phoebe King, a laundress, said she was called out of the Rising Sun Tavern, in Ox ford-street, Stepney, and saw the prisoner at her bed side " cutting away" at her throat, and took the knife from her. The prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, said, " Don't give me in charge, I will drown myself." The Prisoner--I am very wretched. Mr. Lush ington—What a very shocking thing this is. A police-constable named Griven produced a very large and blood-stained knife, with which the prisoner attempted self-destruction. Mr. Lushington remanded the prisoner for a week. Three attempts at suicide were committed in the neighbourhood of the King David-lane Station, Shad well, on Friday night. A woman threw herself from the New Gravel-lane Bridge into the London Dock and was drowned, Another woman threw herself from the second storey of a house of ill-fame in that horrible place, Palmer's Folly, Rateliff Highway, and was killed. Another woman leaped from the first floor window of a house in Old Gravel-lane, and was very seriously injured. She is in the London Hospital, and is not expected to recover. RETURNING PROM TUE " OAKS."--Mr. Francis Sherridan, of 48, Ctrosvenor-place, Pimlico, " gentleman," was charged at the Westminster Police-court with being disorderly at Crereorne-gardens, and also assaulting Police-constable Edward Jury, 28 T R. The policeman said that he found defendant at the river side entrance of Cremorne, at three o'clock that morning. As he was creating a disturbance he told him to remove, and on his refusal moved him, when defendant struck him a blow in the stomach, and a second on the neck. Defendant said that he was waiting at the entrance to the garden for a friend, when the police came up and rudely pushed him away, and he was struck in the face. The policeman must have been per fectly mistaken in supposing that he struck him. There was a large crowd of persons, and a great deal of confusion and pushing about. Mr Selfe inquired whether defendant _ _ had been o the Oaks. Defendant replied that he had. Mr. Selfe thought that every allowance should be made for a man who-had been to the Oaks. He was fined 10s.

In consequence of the dis persion of the Filadelfia band all engaged in that move ment have returned to their homes. A remnant of the band of Nathan, consistine , of ten persons, is wandering about in the mountains between the provinces of Como and Londrio, and is being pursued by the troops. Several garrisons on the frontiers have been strengthened. The Swiss gendarmes are echeloned in sight of the Swiss frontier. A band, numbering sixty persons, com prising several students, has appeared north of the, Lake of Como. A. NEW ANODYNE.—It is announced by several journals that Dr. Oscar Liebreich, to whom we owe Protagon and the now well-known Chloral, has dis covered a new anodyne to which the name of Chloride of Athylide (Aethylictenchlorid) has been given. This sub stance, which has been repeatedly applied with perfect success in the clinical hospital of Dr. Langenbeck, is said to be more rapid and agreeable in its effects than chloro form. The chief merit, however, claimed for it is, that it may be administered without interfering with the free and natural breathing of the patient, an advantage which it possesses over most other anaesthetics. As the effect of the new body is stated to be very transient, the dose must he repeated in a lengthened operation.—Nora German Coreespondent. THE DERBY A FUNERAL.—Foreigners who happen to be in London during the " Derby week" probably from some odd notions about the scenes of " the road and the race." Very odd, for instance, was the notion which two South American lads, newly arrived in Clapham a few days before the race, got into their heads from seeing the road." It so happened that the old grandmother in the family into which they were to be received had died a few days before their coming. It was found out afterwards that they wrote home to their friends telling them how the old lady had died, and how her funeral had taken place on the following Wednesday, a more splendid funeral than they had ever heard of, people going all the morning and coming back all night. We have been told often enough that we amuse ourselves very sadly, and here is another testimony of the truth of the saying.—Pall Malt Gazette. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUNG LADY. —Teigiunouth (Devon) with all the neighbourhood, was on Thursday in a state of great excitement in consequence of the strange disappearance of Miss Shaw, eldest daughter of Mr. J. Shaw, Berne-park. 'The young lady, who h. , not quite 13 years of age, left school at five p.m. on Wednes day evening, but at ten p.m. had not reached home. Her father, being alarmed, went to the school to inquire the reason of her absence, when he found that she had left at the time above stated, and had been sent by the school mistres going in the direction of Bitta-street. She was afterwards seen by a man named Gill to pass through Bishopsteiguton. She was further supposed to have been seen riding in a waggon towards Chudleigh. The father and several friends had been engaged in searching for her the whole day, but up to ten o'clock on Thursday night Mrs, Shaw had received no information as to her where ebonts.—Westerea, Morning News. 'EW AND IMPORTANT FOOD DISOOVRRED FOR (KAREN AND INVALlDS.—Especially deserving more . : than a, passing notice is " The entire wheat flour." ' Nothing hitherto produced has combined all the necessary qualities for nourishing and sustaining the whole fabric of the human body. It is especially to be remembered that during its infancy there is additional work to be done in the formation of the various organic substances neces sary, for the building up of a healthy structure. It is not enough to supply that which is necessary for one portion of the body only, all parts must be duly cared for; there must be flesh-forming materials to repair the waste of the muscles and provide for their increase that which sustains genial warmth and provides for the formation of bone so rapid used in early life. These essential requisites are not found in arrowroot and the various starchy foods generally used, hence the desideratum of a food combining all that is necessary for the supply of the total demands of the body. For invalids it is invaluable. As a prepara tion for children it is important in the extreme, affording as it does all the component parts of a perfect food, easily digestible, more productive of a generally healthy frame than anyother diet. All persons desirous of testing this invaluable discovery of the entire wheat flour, prepared by . Orlando Jones and Co., can do so not as a mere ex periment, but with a certainty of success.

Yesterday', at the Thames Police-court, William Red head, aged 18 years, was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington, charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Redhead, his stepmother, at No.-80, Sidney-street, Step ney, on Monday afternoon last. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. He was instructed to defend the youth by Captain Munro, of the 7th Tower Hamlets Volunteers. Agentleman repre senting the firm by whom the prisoner was employed was also present, and manifested great interest on his behalf. Mr. Robert Edward Swyer, surgeon, of the Mile-end road, said he had made a post-mortem examinatfon of the body of the deceased. A bullet had fractured the tenth rib, passed through the bodY, and lacerated the heart in its passage, causing immediate death. From the position of the wound he believed the deceased was coming down stairs, and as she turned the curve of the stairs she was shot. The prisoner must have come out of his room and fired at the deceased. Mary Ann Morris, the wife of James Morris, labourer, and living in the house where the murder was committed, said she was on the landing on the top of the first-floor stairs when the shot was fired. The deceased was walk ing down stairs, and had nearly reached the bottom, when she was shot. The deceased had just left the room in which the witness lived, and followed her out of the room. Directly afterwards she heard the report of a gun, and smoke ascended the staircase and deceased fell. The prisoner was standing up in his room close to the door when she saw him. Mr. Philip Norris Page, sergeant in the 7th Tower Hamlets Rifles, said the prisoner was a member of that corps, and was practising at the range on Saturday last. He delivered to him 30 rounds of ball cartridges. The prisoner fired 20 of them at the range, and had 10 rounds left. The prisoner returned eight of them, and fired tu o for himself a% practice. Mr. Edward Worels, superintendent of the K division of police, said that, after reading the charge to the pri soner at the station-house on Monday afternoon last j he asked him if he had any answer to make, and his reply was, " All that I can say is that my stepmother has been very unkind to me and my sister. That is all I have to say. ' Annie Brighton, in addition to her former evidence, said that when she stepped over the body of the deceased after leaving her room, the feet were towards the stairs and the head towards the street door, and she believed the deceased fell off the last step. Mr. Worels—That completes the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Charles Young.—l am entrusted with the defence of this most unfortunate lad. lam aware that your wor ship has no alternative but to commit him for trial on the grave charge of murder. I have numerous witnesses to speak to the mild and inoffensive character of the pri soner, and his uniform good conduct in all the relations of life, but I will not call them here. His employers have also sent their representative to this court to speak to his fidelity, honesty, and attention during the three years he was in their service. The prisoner will reserve his defence. Mr. Lushington committed the prisoner for trial. BOILER EXPLOSION AT BIRMINGHAM. At noon on Thursday a boiler explosion occurred at the sawmills of Mr. Amos Roe, Worcester Wharf, Birming ham, by which two men lost their lives. The boiler was of the kind known as Cornish. It was 20ft. long and 6ft. in diameter. Mr. Roe, the proprietor, and a friend had just passed out of the boiler-room, when a noise resemb ling thunder was heard ; and the gentlemen were buried in debris. On search being made the engineer (William Cowley), the foreman (Henry Alexander), and a boy, named 'George Cook, were found lying in different parts of the room. The former two, both dreadfully scalded, were removed to the Queen ' s ' Hospital, and they there expired in a short time. Cook was taken home. Mr. Roe and kis friend escaped with slight bruises. Cowley and Alexander each leave a widow and family of four or five children. About fifty men have been thrown out of employment. The chinabey stack was shattered, the place took fire, and a large quantity of timber narrowly escaped destruction. The damage dune to other property is con siderable. THE DENHAM TRAGEDY. Jones's conduct in the prison has been just such as Night have been expected, savage and brutal, injuring himself in mad fits of passion, and threatening others. The other day Daniel Love, the warder of Reading Gaol, told him he was sorry to see him in for such a crime, to which he replied, " Why should you be sorry ? I a'nt sorry ; they can't but swing me" jumping from the chair, and indicating the fall of tie drop. He is narrowly watched day and night. The disappointment was very great at -Slough on Tuesday when it was found the prisoner would not leave Aylesbury. Crowds of persons entered the town from far distant places in the hope of seeing him. Many were satisfied on being told by the police that he was not there, but something like a hundred remained, threatening to break into the police court, if he were not brought out, and they had not all dispersed until six in the evening. The departure of Superintendent Dunham with his witnessesiti the morning was thought a mere ruse, as it was stated that they had merely gone to Taplow, and would return with the prisoner. The police have not yet given up possession of the house at Denham, which, we understand, the owner will shortly cause to be destroyed. His Majesty the King. of the Belgians has ex pressed his intention of returning to England for the purpose of attending the Wimbledon Volunteer contests, when he will be accompanied by the Queen Consort.

At noon there will be the classic speeches in the upper school, in the afternoon the pro vost gives a banquet in the college hall, and the day's proceedings will be brought to a conclusion with the pro cession of boats to Turley Hall and the display of fireworks from the ait in the river opposite the Eton Brocas. CRYSTAL PAL 'A CE.—The summer concert this afternoon will be supported by the following artists : Madame Lemnaens-Sherrington, Mdlle. Louisa Can, Mdlle.

The gardens of Rockhills will be open for promenade. THE FLOWER SERMON.—The flower sermon will, this year, be preached, at St. Katharine Cree, Leaden hall-street, as St. James's Church, is closed for the pre sent. This quaintly interesting service will commence at seven o'clock, on 'Whit-Tuesday evening, and the sermon will, as usual, be preached by the Rev. Dr. Whittemore, rector of St. James's. The young persons attending this special service carry bouquets, and the sermon is on some floral text. There is something both touching and encou raging in the site of an old City, church crowded to over flowing with these young people, whose eager and blooming countenances are a flower-sermon in themselves. —City Pram THE EDUCATION LEAGUS.—A meeting of the executive committee of the Education League was held yesterday at Birmingham—Mr. Chamberlain in the chair. A resolution was passed approving the circular on the Government amendments issued by the officers, and signifying support of their objections. It was also resolved to press with the utmost vigour the amendments of which notice had been given on behalf of the League; and that, failing, success in amending the bill, it was desir able that legislation on the subject should be postponed until next session. A petition, setting forth the views of the committee,:was adopted. In reference to Mr. Vernon Harcourt's amendments on the religious question, it was resolved that it was not expedient to offer any compromise on that subject. £l,OOO was subscribed in the room towards a fund of £lO,OOO, which is to be raised as a special fund for carrying on agitation against the bill. ANGLO-GERMAN OPHTHALMIC DISPENSARY.—The second private subscription ball in aid of the funds of this excellent society will take place in St. James's Hall, on Wednesday, the 15th inst.. The list of Lady Patronesses is long and influential, and amongst the names of stewards will be found those of several gentlemen of standing and position. The first ball given for a similar object was so eminently successful that it has been determined to orga nise a second one, and from the energy with which the friends of the institution are working, and the deserving character of the charity, it is to be hoped the second ball will result iu more than ordinary success. Those wishing for further information have only to apply to 15, Old Cavendish-street, where the secretary will be happy to give the fullest information respecting either the ball or the dispensary NEW LIFE SAVING ANCHOR.—A renewed series of experiments with the " Rogers' projectile anchor for life-preserving purposes" were made at Portsmouth, under the official superintendence of Capt. H. Boys, commanding her Majesty's gunnery ship Excellent, which were attended with very satisfactory results as to tho efficiency of the in vention and mode of application. An eight-inch ordinary service mortar was used, and in the first experiment made a projectile anchor, weighing 1281 b., fitted with an expansive block and carrying a rove one-inch line, was thrown 156 yards by a charge of Boz. of powder. By means of the rove line a three-and-a-half-inch hawser was passed at a continuous rope, the holding powers of the anchor an swering the test thus applied very satisfactorily In the second expel iment, an anchor of 1281 b in weight was propelled into the water, by a powder charge of 8 oz., a an elevation of the mortar of 38 degrees, to a distance of 152 yards from the shore. By the aid of the whip-line a three-and-a-quar ter inch hawser was rove through the anchor block, and a ship's launch, with ten men on board as the crow, but not assisting in tho hauling, was hauled out to over the spot where the anchor held, and without tripping the anchor. The third experiment consisted in throwing a cone and block weighing 401 b. a distance of 163 yards, the charge, as before, being Boz. of powder, and the elevation of the mortar 39i deg., a rove line being attached to the cone block. In the fourth experiment a cone and block weighing 841 b. was ;brown 196 yards with Boz. of powder, and in the fifth and 4 concluding experiment the same cone and block was thrown 217 yards by a powder charge of 12 oz. in all the experi ments an inch rope was used as a whip line. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, THE OAKS DAY, 1870. The sky was yesterday even more clouded than on the Derby Day, and a fall of rain appeared imminent, almost at any moment. The weather, kept up, however, and the famous race was run a few minutes after three without any unpleasantness whatever. Londoners too clearly saw at noon that the marked falling-off in interest with which a com bination of causes afflicted this year's Derby would be no less observable at Epsom for the Oaks. The attendance on the course if it was not numerous was brilliant, the ladies having come down in open barouches, and on drags in large numbers. The appearance of the dresses in the grand stand truly gave one at the off side of the course the idea of shelving banks of flowers, while the numberless parasols rendered the carriages, posted everywhere around, scarcely less remarkable. The heat of the day was very exhausting, and the ladies deserve all praise for patronising the " maid's day "as they did. The small field that came to the starting-post caused much disappointment, and a considerable alteration in the betting. The following horses were ex pected to take part in the running :—Hester (Custance), Sunshine (Snowden), Pate (Marsh), Gamo , (Fordham), Gertrude (T. French), Bright Weather (Hibbert). The latest betting in town was as follows :-11 to 8 on Hester, 7 to 2 against Sunshine (taken), 9to 2 against Pate (taken), 100 to 8 against Gamos (taken), 20 to 1 against Gertrude (taken). After the preliminary canter, however, Sunshine and Pate gained much favour. Hester still, however, was looked upon as the queen of the fillies.

Without much difficulty a good start was effected at the first attempt, and the usual cries, " They're off" was heard on all sides. They all ran together for a short distance, when Patd showed in advance and ultimately she began cutting out the race, but the whole lot were well together. At Tattenham Corner Hester and Sunshine went up and carried on the running, with Pate and Gamos in close attend ance. A severe struggle took place here be tween Sunshine and the favourite, but the pace seemed to tell on Hester, and Sunshine went to the fore and looked in every sense of the word the winner. Pate then improved her position, but Fordham seemed to husband the strength of Gamos for one of those rushes which khave proved so successful to him. Matters went on without much change, either one way or the other, until within one hundred yards of the judge's post, when, with the help of whipcord and a strong jerk Fordham shot Gamos to the front of Sunshine, and amidst . the most deafening plaudits landed his mare the winner, thus making up for his failure on the Derby Day. Pate was third, but the bowling over of the favourite was a great surprise and disappointment to many. Gamos's chance was not looked upon as a very rosy one, as much as 10 or 12 to 1 could have been had about her at the start. _ _ - Time as taken by Benson's Chronograph :—Duration of race, 2 min. 46} sec.

This match was commenced on Durdan's Down, Bristol, on Thursday, in brilliant weather, and despite the attrac tions offered in anether quarter (the Zoological Gardens Flower Show) there was a very numerous company pre sent. The home county commenced defensive operations, Dr. Grace and his brother Gilbert being the first pair of " bats," and Southerton and Street (who bowled through out) being the bowlers. Gloucestershire got 106, Mr. Gilbert Grace being top scorer with 26. Surrey at the close of the first day's play made 82 for the loss of eight wickets.
