Foora&Ln-Our football dub went to Luoan on Saturday last, as was announced, with the intention of playing Lucian club for the silver cup given lir J. 1), MnOoll, We arrived there about noon and proceeded to the football grounds. It will be remem- bered that a club from this place played in Luoan fair day, but wheu our boys got there Saturday wohad a different club toplay-not a Luoan club, but composed of a few Luoan- ites and the remainder entirely strangers. Our captain asked them if they wete going to play these men. They said yes. "We won't kick each a club," was the reply. "We came here to play a Lucan club, and if we played this team we -couldn't say what we played against." The captain of the Lucan club said he intended to play these men, When he said this Edon boys got their coats and started off the field. Mr. McColl said he would like to see a match, but if Luoan men did not play with their Own men he would have to give the Eden boys the cup. This he accordingly did, as the Luoan captain was bound to have his way. What do you think of it Mr. Reader? Don't you think it would have been more manly on the part of Luoan boys and a little more encouraging to the people of Lucan if they had said 'we will play with our own teen or not at all.' "If the Lucian boys get the cup they will go home with sore heads," Just jog your memory Mr. Lncanite and see where the sor e heads come in, Arriving at the hotel, Mr. McColl gave our captain the oup. This is the sea and cup our boys have remade season; but this one was won a little more easily than the first, as our boys did not tonal a ball for this one. It is a very beautiful cup, and we thank the donor very much for the way in whioh he anted as regards the trophy. Everybody says our boys deserved the cup, and most Lueanites,, eaoept the football club, say Mr. MoOoll did the square thing. While in Luoan, outside of football, our boys were used as gentlemen and have uotli ing' against the Lucan people whatever. When the cup left Luoan the chagrin of the Lucan football club eau be better imagined than desoribea.
