Mr.. JOHN ELDER ON THE
OLD FlDDLERS' CONTEST.
NO. 10

Hardinsburg, KY, Nov. 10. 1908,
Mr.. John d. B9bbage, Dear Sir-I
see in this week raue of the News
letter from Mr.. Az concerning
the Old FIddlers contest My opinion
and Mr. Ashley's are quite different. 1
think everything was done fair and
l think the judges gave the first prize
to the man that deserved it for
think Mr.. Stewart played what would
be termed old time music. I'm sure
every piece ne played was played fifty
years ago And, l think, If Mr.. Ash
ley could hear some of the real up-to-
date music he would see quite a con-
trast between that Mr.. Stewart played
and what is called late music Mr..
Ashley was, like myself, play
ing for the $685. bnt l knew when l
saw Mr.. Stewart in Cloverport that
we had all as we'll lay down our
fiddle and bow, for had heard him
play enough to know what he could
do. I'm perfectly satisfied myself over
the contest and if they ever have
another one I'm going to enter, for
enjoy such sport a. well as a man
coull. l have heard that they are
aiming to have an old fddlers' contest
at Hardlnsburg and l hope they will
and l hope Uncle Fuller will become
reconciled over the one they gave st
Cloverport and be ready for the one at
Hardinsburg, if they give it and,
maybe, he will be the successful man,
provided he is allowed to select some
of the judges
AS ever yours,
John H. Elder.

Funeral of Late Winfield Scott Choate

- law w SSOSt SH0dtSs
The earthly remains of the late Win
held Scott Choate were laid in their
last resting place, Tuesday afternoon.
Inc ceremony was held at ST. Marks
Episcopal church, and within that
handsome structure assembled such a
gathering as is seldom seen within its
walls. So many were there who came
to honor the memory of their friends,
that at the hour appointed for The SER
vice the church was filled with people.
The interior of the church presented
beautiful appearance. The space be-
mind the chancel rail and around the
altar was completely filled with pro-
fusion of flowers, conspicuous among
them being emblems from the Masonic
pod1es-the cross and crown of the
Commandery, the keystone of the Chap
ter and the square and compass of the
Blue lodge. Then there were floral Of
ferings from the Kennebec Bar, the
county officers, and from Borrowing
friends, and these flowers, with the soft
radiance of the many colored lights in
the windows, produced an effect that
was beautiful. Surely no funeral SER
vice could have been conducted amid
more appropriate surroundings.
The funeral was under the direction
| of Hon. S. w. Lane, with C. F. Cook,
| c. Little as ushers, and though the at
| tendance was of unusual proportions
all were seated without the slightest
confusion.
Within the portals of the church as
sembled many of Names most promi-
nent men, the Chief Executive, mem
bers of the Executive Council the Leg
islature, the Maine bar, the county bar,
the county officials, and those of the
city which Gen. Choate called home,
and which he loved. There, too, were
many members of the different Masonic
bodies, with whom he had been asso-
ciated in his daily life, whom he loved
as brothers, and by whom he had been
exalted to the highest offices of the
order.
And then there were those who had
known Gen. ChOate in life, and though
bound to him by no closer ties than
those of kindred citizenship, had hon
ored him for what he was, and who
lcame to show the respect they felt for
him.
The services were held at $50, and
were conducted by Rev. Geo. F. Degen,
rector of the church. The impressive
burial srvice of the Episcopal church
was read and music was furnished by
| the full vested choir of the church.
The bearers were Hon. A. NJ. Spear,
Hon. o. G. Hall, Hon. J. H. Manley,
Hon. Lendall Titcomb, Hon. o. D.
Baker and Hon. l.. c. Cornish.
The Episcopal committal service was
read by Mr.. Degen at the grave, and
the interment was made in the Wyman
lot, at Forest Grove cemetery.
