VISITORS SCORE 514.

By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 14. A second match against Scotland began at Edinburgh to-day. Alexander took Fers place in the local eleven and Macartney Bardsley, Carter and Macdonald stood down. The weather was hot and bright and the wicket fast. *

Armstrong won the toss and sent in Collins and Mayne to the bowling of Mitchell and Sievwright. The ground is equal in size to Lords, but falls from the pitch all round. Watt and Hole took up the bowling in the thirties, but Collins became aggressive and Sievwright resumed at a fresh end with Mackay. The batsmen were well-established and the bowlers could do nothing with them. The fielding was generally clean and safe. Collins .reached 50 in 63 minutes and "Mayne In 75. Kerr, the captain, was the seventh change of bowlers before lunch. On resuming Watt and Mitel - ell tried their hands and then Sievwright and Hole. Collins reached his 100 in 105 minutes, out of 189. At the same total Mitchell* missed him right on the boundary. At 205 Mayne was caught from a skier. His 80 is the highest score he has made so far and included one sixer and nine fours. This is the biggest first wicket partnership of the tour. Collins was dismissed immediately afterwards in hitting out. He was in two hours, and. his 113 contained a sixer and 17 fours. Pellew took chances and hit refreshingly, making 40 in 20 minutes with three sixers and two fours. The innings ended for 514. Andrews made 125.

Andrews went in at 211 and was content while Pellew was with him to let the latter do all the hitting, but after Pellew was caught, at 265, he took up the scoring and advanced the total rapidly.
