The Boston School FootBall Challenge Cup.

The cup for which the various football teams of the Interscholastic League have been competing during the fall is completed and may be seen for a short time this morning in Leavitt and Peirce's window. The cup is an elegant piece of workmanship. It is of solid silver, lined with gold, weighs about eighty ounces, and will hold about two quarts. It is made in the shape of a half football. The engraving is especially noteworthy. Around the top of the cup is a wreath of laurel leaves twined together in an artistic manner. Beneath this is a plain band, on which are the words in large raised letters, "Boston School FootBall Challenge Cup." The central wreath is made of morning glories: twenty-four leaves, and a number of well-drawn flowers. On each of these leaves will be engraved from year to year the name of the school, together with the names of the men who compose the team which wins the championship for that year. The cup rests on four claws. each of which clasps a tiny football. These are beautifully made, but are so small that they will scarcely be noticed unless attention is called to them. Around the bottom of the cup is a plain ribbon, which also twines about the handles which are made to represent natural wood; on this is placed in large raised letters the date 1888. The names of the donors will also be engraved on this band. The design of the cup was drawn by Mr. Herbert Dudley Hale, '88. The captain of the University FootBall team will always be on the donation committee whether he is one of the donors or not.

The cup is given by J. H. Sears, A. P. Butler, F. C. Woodman, C. A. Porter, F. D. Fisk, and R. S. Hale.

After today it will be on exhibition in the windows of Rand and Crane, No. 3 Park street, the manufacturers of the cup.
