the
English

on
a
ground
originally
chosen
out
of
London.

Blackburn
Olympic
was
the
first
provincial
club
to
win
the
English
Cup,
in
1883,
the
team
was:—T.

The
preliminary
round
of
the
English
Cup
Competition
was
established
in
1900-1.
This
was
mainly
brought
about
by
the
fact
that
Liverpool
and
Stoke
had
failed
to
secure
exemption
from
the
qualifying
competition
owing
to
not
having
remitted
their
entry
fee
in
time.
Preston
North
End
defeated
Hyde
in
an
English
Cup
tie
by
26
goals
to
0.
The
finest
performance
ever
accomplished
in
the
fight
for
the
English
Cup
was
that
of
Preston
North
End,
who,
in
1887,
played
right
through
the
competition
and
won
the
trophy
without
having
a
single
goal
scored
against
them.
When
the
Cup
was
stolen
from
a
shop
window
in
Birmingham
in
1895,
the
Associa-
tion
wisely
refused
several
offers
to
substi-
tute
a
gold
vase
for
the
lost
goblet,
and
caused
another
silver
cup

an
exact
fac-
simile
of
the
old
historic
"
tin-pot
"—to
be
made
in
its
place.
This,
with
the
original
trophy,
cost
only
£20.
