HOW THE ARSENAL..
WON THE CUP.
ZEPPELIN SALUTES THE KING.
GRAPHIC STORY OF THRILLS AT WEMBLEY STADIUM.
The King on April 26, delighted the Assembly of over 90,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium by attending the Cup Final match, in which the Arsenal beat Huddersfield Town by two goals to mil. During the progress of the game, the Graf Zeppelin-the first German airship to visit London since the war on her fight from Berlia to Bedford, passed over the Stadium. The airship's flags were dipped as a salute to the King, who returned the salutation. It was only shortly before the game was timed to begin that the King's motor-car drove through the gates of the Stadium. It had pre viously been reported, to the great disappointment of the crowds, that His Majesty would not be able to he present, and the announcement from the microphones that, after all, the King would occupy the Royal box, was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering.
The Duke of York reached Wem- blay a few minutes before his father. The crowd which had wel comed His Royal Highness was dis- persing when mounted police again cleared a passage for a second car, which, a moment later, bore the King through the great double gates at the entrance to the Royal enclosure..
His Majesty, who was hatless, rose and shook hands with Parker, congratulating him on the splendid' victory of the London team. His Majesty remarked that the Arsenal had given an admirable display. Parker thanked His Majesty for the compliment and received the Cap.
His Majesty's Delight. The King shook hands with each member of the team, some of whom were reluctant to allow His Majesty The to grasp their muddy hand. King, however, insisted on doing so in every case. There was another great roar as Wilson led the Hud- dersfield men up in their turn to shake hands.
Thousands of people waited out- side the Royal entrance and gave the King and the Duke of York an enthusiastic send-off.
It is understood that His Majesty greatly enjoyed the game. He was with the enthusiastic reception accorded him by the crowds.
The appearance of the car was the signal for a great burst of cheer-delighted ing, which did not cease until His Majesty had passed from sight The King, who was seen to be look ing very well, raised his hat and arailed in acknowledgment "of bis" subjects' enthusiastic welcome.
Players Fresented.
Cheers were renewed when the King was seen walking down the white-railed gangway leading from the Royal apartments at the rear of the grand stand to the Royal box. He was wearing a long black bvercoat and a bowler hat, and carried a walking-stick.
-THE GAME DESCRIBED.
Good football in a Cup Final is. so rare that this game at Wembley will live in history.
The spirit of sport was obvious when the two teams walked on to the field in a sort of mingled for mation-red shirts mixed with blue and white stripes.
Bard play and fair, clever play and errors of excitement were there to cause
spectators to enthuse. There was no need for anyone to The King walked on to the field be a supporter of either team in of play, where the two teams had order to enjoy the match.

B. Hirst, chairman of Hudders feld Town directors: and other officials of the teams.
Ar the King moved across the field the band played the National Authem, and the huge crowd, the men bare-headed, stood at attention and joined in the singing. Hir Majesty first approached the Ar. senal team and having shaker hands with Mr. Chapman, the man- nger, he shook hands with To Parker, the captain, to whom he talked for a few moments.
Parker then presented all the members of the team, the King shaking hands with each player. The referee and linesmen were pre- sented, and then Tom Wilson, the Huddersfield captain, presented members of his tearn one by one.

"In this hope, however, they were sadly disappointed, Omar's rink, which had the worst of the battle, finished seven shots to the bad. The outside rink having reduced the fall to a total of five shots, the visitors had their last hope on Bradbury, who was left to make eight shots to win in the last two heads. He got a couple by laying the jack near the brink of the gat ter in the penultimate head, but all chances of winning, or at least drawing the mutch with a score of five, were frustrated by the smart manoeuvre of the woods by the op- posing ship, A.
