Fellows' Temple, Toronto, ]art Wednesday evening, brought out about 600 people. These, of course, were not old boys or old girls, either ]rut sons and daughters -and the gathering on the whole '.v.as an in• toresting amalgam of about three generations. There were real short skirts and three-quarter length, but no long ones. The orchdstra w,t8 woolly modern, but a contest of old- ' time fiddlers, five competing, and an interval of music by them devoted to the waltz, schottische and polka made a treat of youth for older hearts and feet. Then there, were exhibitions of old-time dances with eight participating in costume which featured the- old poke -bonne:, the flounced calico skirt, the with rube straw and the linen duster, A. B. Cerro)! performed as "caller -off" from the platform. There were three numbers -Anna, L'•ot.'t you Cry;• The BufTaia Girl, and the Girl 3 Left Behind Me. slather pictures- que and pretty as they we1'e done, though the occasional hoedown by the men caused giggles and smiles among the present generation. Fiddler's Contest The competitors in the fiddlers' contest were Thos. Murdock, repa;e- seating Hensel]; George Armstrong, representing Goclerich; Tj11s. Rand, • representing Seaforth; James Gibson representing Wingham and William ,Collins representing Clinton. Mr. Collins was a comparatively young Tuan -the rest of the fiddlers were really old, Thomas Murdock being eighty-two. Thomas Rand, (sixty-seven years old, won by an un- animous decision of the judg'oi, Re got the silver cup, but all of he old fiddler's were good and all 00011)ed out to win. The four losers wore given each a silver medal. As They Came Front :t .110man, if not a musical aspect, the contest was pecullnriy interesting;. George Armsti'ong, 1.l ln'esentiang Godrich, performed first.

Janes Gibson Tepreson'.,in„ Wing- henm, played 'second In the contest, "Soldier's Joy" 'and "I,et Us 1i<iste to the Wedding" were his selections.

They liked it, too, and cane back with real applause. The oldest fiddler of the five, he showed. re- markable fire, performing with a most determined air. More'rvee, he was finely groomed in blade, with hanging watch chain and charm, and offered a smiling stage presence. He brought his bow clown in 0 manner that meant business, and certainly he gave the winner a hard heat. Hie selections were "The Arkansas Tra- veller" and "The Irish Washerwom- an." • , William Collins, the young men among the five, who one lady rc- , marked should be playing the saxes - phone, rendered the "Constitution Hornpipe" and "The Irish Washer- woman," while his aged competitors eyed him critically, as if for being in the contest. He was certain and strong, but not very rhythniical. Against a player like Thomas hands he couldn't possibly win. Perform- ing happily and without strain, the latter brought the mellowness of years to his playing. He evoked the thrill of the old square dance at its best -and that is something in an audience of whom probably one- third were flappers. "The Money Musk" and "College Hornpipe" were his selections, and with tache fingers and easy bow he beguiled the romance of the past. Old ladies, sitting listening, begin to whisper of early love affairs, Young girls be- came significantly still, realizing thit dreaming girlhood of their mothers. It was very fine -a musical message to at least two generations, 'Thomas Rani) got a wonderful hand, as be should. A.ncl he played for encore "The Devil's Dream" on the p100010. in his wee black suit, with whit cc'1- lar, and big -linked watch chain of other days, almost anyone young enough would have accepted hint es a grandfather.
