FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR GRACE.
On Sept. 27th the remains of the late Mr G. F. Grace, the celebrated cricketer, were interred in the vault of the family in Downend churchyard, Gloucestershire. There was a large number of persons present anxious to pay a last token of respect to the deceased gentleman, and from all parts of the West of England mourners attended representing different cricket clubs. Nearly all the Gloucestershire Eleven were there, and Elliott attended for the Surrey Eleven, while many unable to be present sent wreaths. Only one carriage followed the hearse, and in it were Mrs Grace, the deceased’s mother, and Miss A, Bobinson (to whom he was to have been married). Several relatives and friends followed on foot. Then came the members of the County Eleven, and deputations from the other cricket clubs and many well known cricketers from all parts of the country.
