The thirty-seventh International football contest between England and Scotland was played at Hampden Park on Saturday in splendid weather, and in presence of the largest gathering of spectators ever drawn together in the history of football. It is estimated that when the gates were closed fifteen minutes before the kick-off, there were no fewer than 121,452 spectators with in the enclosure. It is also calculated that those who were unable to gain admission numbered about 15,000. At some parts of the terracing the pressure became very great, and the situation of the spectators was rendered so uncomfortable that many invaded the track. For a few minutes there was a general break-in all round the field, but spectators kept clear of the playing pitch, and the game was in no way interfered with. The Scots appeared in Lord Rosebery's colours, and the Englishmen in white shirts and black pants. Thomson won the toss, and England kicked off against a stiff breeze. After a spell of even play, Quinn accepted a nice pass from May, and ran to near the corner flag, from which he sent in a grand shot. Hardy cleared, but the Scots soon returned, and Wilson narrowly missed the net at close range.
   At the other end Hilsdon gave Bridgett a chance in front of M'Bride, and the Sunderland player was in the act of shooting when M'Nair came to the rescue, and averted danger. Rutherford followed with a brilliant run and centre, but coming into contact with Sharp, the Newcastle flier was injured, and during the remainder of the game he was unable to do himself justice. After twenty-seven minutes' play, during which Scotland did most of the pressing, Quinn centred from the line, the ball going to Walker. He in turn slipped the ball along to Wilson, who beat Hardy at close range with a hard shot. England made strenuous efforts to draw level, and M'bride had to fist out a header from Hilsdon. The same player made a grand opening for Bridgett, who shot high over the bar, and a few minutes later M'Bride had to throw out from Rutherford. Warren at one end, and Quinn at the other, made good efforts to score before half-time, but there was no further scoring before the interval, which found the Scots leading by 1 goal to nil.
   With the wind in their favour, the Englishmen were early dangerous in the second half. The Scottish defence, however, stood up well to the attack, until a miskick by Sharp gave away a corner, which was easily cleared. Walker and Howie broke away, but failed to get past Pennington, who kicked out for safety. In the next England attack, Bridgett was prominent with a brilliant run and shot, while at the other end Walker gave Quinn a glorious opening. The Celtic centre, however, kicked the ground, and the chance went a-begging. Playing pluckily against the wind, the Scottish forwards looked for a time like adding to their lead. Wilson and Quinn got clean through, and the latter sent in a raking shot, which Hardy saved with a grand effort. England then took up the running, and for a time maintained a steady pressure on the Scottish goal. After several tries, all of which were safely dealt with by M'Bride.
   Windridge scored the equaliser with a peculiar shot. The ball appeared to strike the under part of the cross-bar and rebound into play. The Scots protested against the decision, but Mr. Mason evidently had no doubt that the ball had been over the line. Fifteen minutes remained, and during that period both sides strove hard for the leading goal. It was an exciting finish, and a fitting one, there being no further scoring, and the result being a draw—one goal each.
   

The Scotland and England match was decided at Hampden-park, Glasgow, on Saturday. After a hard game the result was a draw of one goal all. The popularity of this fixture keeps on increasing in Scotland, and all records for any football match in the shape of attendances were broken, the crowd numbering over 120,000. Unfortunately there were 70 casualties among the spectators, but only in one case was there anything serious.
In the first half England, against a strong wind and powerful sun, played the better football, the footwork of their forwards being superior to that of their opponents, but Scotland were the first to score. Quinn, their outside left, made a splendid run and centre, which enabled Wilson to score with an " unstoppable " shot...
