The Association Cup Final, in which Bolton Wanderers beat Manchester City by one goal to nil, provided some exciting scenes. Excursion trains from the north began arriving in London at 3 a.m., mid by 7 a.m. no fewer than 150 trains had reached the Metropolis. Many supporters of the players were dressed in suits, top hats, and carried umbrellas' made of the club colours. Squads of Lancashire mill girls, attired in shawls nnd wearing clogs were present. Seats in the Stadium were sold out months ago and many Lancastrians were prevented from securing tickets. Touts did a roaring trade, selling 2s seats at from '.os to 18s. The crowd resented this profiteering and chased the touts. They caught and roughly handled two, -ill the police rescued them. There were many noisy skirmishes between Bolton and Manchester supporters, in which the police had to intervene. The arrival rnd departure of the King was marked by universal demonstrations of loyalty.
