The Football ON His Conn.

A remarkable scene took place at Leices-
ter, England, recently, when the presi-
dent of the local football club was carried
to his grave. On the coffin, which was
borne to the cemetery in an open hearse, was
laid a football, much in the same way that a
military or naval officers chapeau is placed
upon the casket containing his remains. On
either side of the hearse walked the mem
bers of the club, bareheaded, in blue jer-
seys, white knickerbockers and high laced
football boots
