London, Oct. 4. The New Zealanders are apparently not in the slightest degree depressed by their defeat at Swansea. Nor, incidentally, has public interest in them waned, for a huge crowd gathered at the Bristol Memorial Ground yesterday to see them beat Somerset and Gloucestershire by 2 goals, a drop goal and 3 tries to a try.
Not an overwhelming victory, but a comfortable one. The New Zealanders always had the game well in hand, and they ran away
