HAM IIOTSPUE.RECORD GATE AND A DRAWN GAME.The strong riTalry of competitions on the L*3gue principle seems to in no measure adversely affect the annual struggle for the possession of the Association Cup. On the contrary, the interest appeara to increase year by year, and many of the matchesmtbo com* petotion, which ..yesterday, reached its concJa-asilyfoulding had* tiro uted-bigger *'gates’* thanksnTHprcrrotiBly been recorded. iiCttBPri:taarf'Rpringu ocnzple of Southern clubs—Southampton and Mill wall—w era left in the last four, fcbongh the hopes of the trophy being brought feoufch were not destined to be realised. Both of them fell in the first round this season, but u Hew star arose- in the shape of Tottenham Hotspur. They could only defeat tbeir con qufirors of last season—Proa ton North End —against whom, sinqnlfirly enough, theyCame tonaught, Thieketfc clearing, and Johnson and Bennett participated in a rush down on the Sheffield right. (Jlawlejr easi cleared from the ehot at goal, but a was given against Cam ex on in the centre of the ground. Tait and Jones cum* to the rescue of Tottenham, bub Needham returned to the left-hand corner of Tottenham's terri-tory. Some tall kicAiug by Tait, Boyle, and Thieketfc was followed by a couple of free kioks to Tottenham, establishing the Hotspurs in a dangerous position iu (runt of the Sheffield goal. Foulke cleared beautifully, and Needham further relieved, but quickly a corner fell to Tot^enlim, and Brown headed into goal, th.ua bringing the score* level auidst a very thundor of anplanse. T he excitement became intense, aud there was a conliououn rattle of cheery as twioo in quick succession the lotteham l*ffc wing [Copeland and Kir-waw) run up and esntred! FonUco and Thieketfc repelled these attacks, and a hoarse bhoat of dorisioD arose from one section as a foul waa given against a Sheffield player. Erentz, by aheor pace, checked a run by tiipsham, but the last-named, alter a. fruitless comer to Tottenham, was quickly off again, and as Clawlay was rather far out there seamed a etrong prospect of a further goal to Sheffield. The Dujl was sent over the line, however, and almost at once Tottenham profited by another free kick for a foul. Then Morreii fed Lipsham again, and the latteri* period, about fly# minutes lira, and thewn 88 thethey did not penalty, and Maddeu equalised immediately afterwards, the team* cbangicg ends with u goal each to their credit.

Their opponent* proved to be Sheffield Uniied, who won the Cup two seasons ago on their initial appearauce in the final. Badly upsetting the hopes of Derby County, who were beaten by four goals to one. Except for the introduction of Lips ham .is outside left, the constitution of their team has undergone little change, and he was the only member of the aide which vanquished Aston Villa sine days ago at Derby who had not assisted in 1899 to bear the trophy triumphantly to smoky Sheffield. Dospite their disappointing* drawn game at Nottingham the previous Saturday, there wag no disregarding the achievements of tho United in the earlier rounds, Sunderland, Evert on, and the Wol-fool was given against Tottenham, which caused them a very anxious two or three minutes. Smith and Cameron were onco more off up the Tottenham right, ana Smith,putting in a dashing Sprint, left his final shot just a moment too late, and Foulke knocked the ball behind. The game waxed furious, ranging from cud to end with great rapidity, and cxcitcmeut ran high, Tottenham were now having rather tho better of tho exchanges, and but for the sterling defence of Thickett and Boyle Sheffield must have seen another goal put up against thorn. A foal was given against Tottenham, and the resulting play brought Clawley's charge in danger, but h« kicked out with great force. Quickly, by reason of free kicks,arena, high at. onbefore the odd, and the exuberance of the Unifced followers could scarcely be kept within bounds apparently. Meanwhile the bouthorn contingent aa loudly and excitedly colled upon their favourites to btrain every nerve to ivsiat the determined onslaught* of the enemy and to tutu the tide the ether way. Towards the finish Tottenham began once more to have rather more of the game, aud Foulke had again to use hands and feet to avert danger.

He wan promptly checked, however, by Hughes, who returned well ui the field, and Smith and Cameron looked like getting away. Thev were pulled up by Needham, who at ones began to play the pretty game which is his ciiaracterlgtic, and which was so strongly in evidence in the recent International match on the same ground. There were exchanges near the oeulrs, and then Lipaham, well fed by Needham, got down on the Sheffield left-, and gave some trouble. There was a free kick here for Tottenham, which relieved th*ten ha in front line.

Each goal was again visifced in quick succession, bat for the nexb few minutes Tottenham were the more frequently hard pressed. On* good chance of a severe attack was lost by Tait kicking rathfc'r too hard and sending tbe boll behind, and Jones soon followed auit. A free kick for a foul against Sheffield almost on tbe centre line onee more sent the ball behind, and th* kicking altogether by both sides at thio stifgo was much too hard. An attack by Needham, Morren and Priest was cheoked by Morris, and a rush down by the Tottenham forwards once more threatened danger for Sheffield, whose line was thoacene of oneratione For eomo minutes. Still more baTd kicking out gave the teams a breathing space or two, which they must have badly needed, for the pace all through had been moat temfic. Then Foulke waa once more hard put to it to keep hi* goal intact, a smart shot from the ietfc wing by Kirwan being only jusb cleared in time, whilst ho had again to ub* bis hands tbe n*rt second. An amUeing interlude was afforded by Foalke running oat more than twenty yard* to hie left touah line to get the hall away after a ran down by the Tottenham 3 j centre*, foilnwed by a pass to the wing, which went wido of its intended mark. The hi* man showed surprising pace, got to tho ball, kicked up the line, and reached th* goal mouth again la good. time. Sheffield ran up again, and a capital- shot by Hodley only jus* missed th* goal? Needham and Hedley were just now putting in lomo splendid work, and the Tottenham defence was put to a severe test. After a spoil of mid-fieid play, Horren, Field, and Hedley led another attack on the Tottenham goal, but the Jaet kick sent the ball behind. A foul in mld-flold gave Taif a free kiok, but Needham and Morren were soou once more forcing the attaek, which was only relieved by anotbeif free kick to Tottenham. Thickett stopped a well-intentioned effort by Brown and Came-rou, but a free kick for off-side, first to one side and then the other, “stayed proceedings for a time, aud then noother fool egaiobt Sheffield gave Tottenham an opening, which came to naught through Brown kicking too high.
