The attendance was not as large as the lively, quality of the program warranted, but there was a very good crowd and the hearty applause clear- lY indicated that those attending thor- oughly- enjoyed the various numbers presented. To those of Scottish ex- traction particularly the program had a strong appeal --end there vas no doubt that the land of the bonny heather w.as well represented, President Campbell made a few re4 marks expressing appreciation of the co-operation of the public, which had made the fair and the concert a suc- cess, and was followed by Mr. Hugh McDougall, who acted as chairman and in a genial spirit took charge of the program and kept things mov lug hi a lively manner. On the back- drop of the platform was a banner with a Gaelic inscription which read: "A Handeed Thousand Welconies— CorneeAgain" Scotty Houston, clever entertainer from Kincardine, pleased the audience with step dancing and comedy skits done costame. There was the skirl of the pipes and a rec- itation given in fine style in dialect, all -of which served to accentuate the Gaelic atmosphere of the scene. Miss McKinnon, violinist, and Mrs. Mc- Dougall, at the piano, with Mr. Hous- ton, traps, rendered orchestral num- bers; the music provid.ed by the two ladies' contributing much to the suc- cess of the concert 't'he little' Misses McDougall were delightful in a Gael- ic -English song sual in Scotch dances, it being their first'appearance before a large audience. What possibly roused the spirits of the \spectators 1 more than any other feature of the program, WaS the contribution of Mr.1 Duncan Campbell, of Kincardine, a young man of eighty-seven summers. Distinctly and with clue expression Mr. Cathpbell sang the old humorous ballad, "The Charming Young Widow I Met on the Train," and brought down the house. He also did, a couple of turns of step dancing with surprii- ing agility- for a man of his years, and sang another old time song The audience showed most hearty appre- ciation of bis efforts. The fiddler's contest and step danc- ing competition were entertaining items of the proceedings. For fiddlers over fifty there wereewo entries, 'Mr. William Fry-fogle, 'Wingham, receiv- ing first, and Mr. 'William McCowan, Wingharn, second prize. For fiddlers under fifty there were four contest - 'ants. After keen competition and a display of real ability in the nender- ing of old tine dance tunes, Milton Bruce, Whitechurch, was awarded 'first prize, and Will Henry, also of Whitechurch, second Miss McKin- non was the only entrant in the la- dies' class, Of those bidding for honors in step dancing, Mr'. Frsrfogle carried off the palm, with Mr. Bruce sec.ond. After the concert, the day's activ- ities were brought to a fitting cons elusion with a dance. HEAVY HORSES Judge—j, D. Murray, New burg.
