OLD TIME CONCERT
That radio, jazz and movie have
- not entirely displaced the taste for en-
; tertainment of the sort that was pop-
ular with" the public of a genartion
- or so ago, was evidenced by the en-
thusiasin with which the audience
greeted the Old Time Concert pre-
sented the town hall on Friday
evening by the A.gricultural Society.
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.
