The 29th international between England and Ireland was played at Cliftonville Ground, Belfast, on Saturday, before about 16,000 spectators. Although the ground had been specifically cared for a fortnight, rains left it in a soft state. In consequence the football was not of a very fine standard, and in making a draw the Irishmen accomplished a good performance.
   There was little to be gained by winning the toss, as there was practically no wind, and Scott selected the Cave Hill end for Ireland. The opening play saw Ireland in the ascendant, the forwards, well fed by Harris and McConnell, keeping up a constant attack on England's goal. Both Cowell and Morley were unsafe, and it looked as if they would allow the Irishmen to get through at any moment. The home forwards, however, lacked finish, and the first English attacking movement was made by Bache and Hall. England then gave a more encouraging display, but could not penetrate the defence, thanks to the fine efforts of Harris, McConnell, and Scott, the last-named saving three sharp shots in succession. When Ireland again got on the attack Morley, in attempting to kick the ball back to Hardy, sent it behind the line. and the first corner fell to the home country. This, however, brought nothing tangible. Following a delay caused by an injury to Wedlock, England forced a corner, which was easily cleared, and Thompson, failing to accept a neat pass near the goal, lost a good chance. Ireland so far had had slightly the better of the game, and Lacey once barely missed scoring. England soon carried play back to the Irish quarters, when Harris fouled Hall close to the penalty area. Nothing came of the free kick, and two minutes from the interval Renneville whipped the ball across the English goal for Thompson to head through, and give Ireland the lead.
   The opening of the second half was in favour of Ireland. Murphy, Thompson, and Murray joined in a pretty movement, and both Cowell and Morley bungled, but Wedlock came to the rescue in grand style. and play was taken to Ireland's territory. Scott gathered the ball all right when called upon, but, holding on too long, was worried out of possession by Fleming, who scored an easy goal. Ireland put in a strong rally, but Thompson's good work was all to no purpose, through Lacey bungling an easy chance. McConnell and Harris were still doing yeoman service for Ireland, sending the forwards away repeatedly, and Once Cowell, in attempting to clear, almost drove the ball into the net, but luckily it curled over the bar. England then had a turn, and Scott brought off a fine save from Wedlock. The closing stages were contested in poor light, and it was difficult to distinguish the players. No further goals were scored.
