LONDON, Feb. 20. The Karl of Oxford’s burial in Sutton County churchyard was impressive by its simplicity, tbe wish for no public display being fully respected. During the brief service conducted in the church by the Bishop of Oxford the coffin stood in the front chancel screen and on it a wreath of red tulips from the Countess. The church seemed filled with tloweis, those from the Kings and Queens of foreign Governments mixing with the bumble tributes from villagers. Around the graveside students from village schools formed, including a score of school girls each bolding a lily. After the service these wen. dropped on the coffin.
