UUNFORTUNATE INCIDENT AT GLASGOW FOOTBALL MATCH.—An unfortunate incident occurred at the football match Rangers v. Celtic, played in Glasgow yesterday. A collection was being made during the course of the game on behalf: of the Eastpark Home for Children, – when a man to whom the box was offered seized it for some reason and threw it away. The box fell among the spectators in the stand and struck the hat of a gentleman, smashing it completely. Rebounding, the box hit Sir John Ure Primrose. Bart. behind the ear, and inflicted a nasty cut. Sir John was medically attended, but fortunately the injury proved comparatively slight, and last night he personally answered inquiries as to his health. The individual who threw the box was arrested by the police, but Sir John interceded for him, and it is unlikely that further proceedings will be taken. '
