Between five alideeix hundred people were present. The Fiddler's 'Contest proved' to be a very pleasing andamusing part of the program, and 'the 'following report from the Toronto Telegram, being written -by 'all eyewitness, supplies all the•details: "There were abouksix, hundred peo- ple present, These, of •eourse, were not all old boys or old .girls but sons and daughters —and the gathering on the whole an interesting amalganm of about three geliuratimms.' There were real short skirts and three-quar- ter length but no real long ones. The orchestra was wholly modern, but a contest of old-time fiddlers, five com- peting, and an interval of music by them devoted to thewalt2j,schottishe, 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 pokeeboneett, the' flounced calico skirt, the wide cube etraw and linen duster, A. B.` Carroll performed as "caller -off" from the platfo'm . There were three numbers—Anna, Don't .You'-Cry,'the Buffalo' Girl, and the -Girl I Left l3e- hind Me, Rather .picturesque, and pretty as they were done, though the occasional hoedown Ity. the mean caused 'giggles and smiles among' the present generation.

He saluted the Audi= erne with uplifed 'bow, and .saluted them again' at the end of every num- ber. They liked it, too, ' and came ;back with real applause. Theoldest fiddler of the five, he showed remark able fire, performing with a most de 'texmmined air. Moreover he was finely groomed in black, with' hanging watch chain ani- charm and offered 'a"setil- log stage-preeence, He (brought his bow down in a manner that meant business, end certainly he gave the winner a hard heat. His selections were "The Arkansas Traveller" and "The Irish Washerwoman." I Wan. Collins, the young man among tate five, who one young lady remark-' ed should bp playing a saxophone, tendered "The Constitution'Hornpipe" .and "The Irish Wdlier'woman," while, his aged competitors dyed him critic- .. ally, as if forbeing in •the contest. He was certain and strong, but not very rhythmical.- Against a player like Thomas Rand he couldn't possibly win. Performing happily and without strain, the latter brought the melibw- nees of years ,to his playing. He evoked the 'thrill of the old square dance nt its best—and 'that is sone - ably one-third' were flappers. .
