ally on the violin, and it has repeated
ly attended these contests in the past
and invariably carried off the best of
the prizes There are five brothers,
and each plays his part to perfection.
They play for the country dances
and balls for many miles around and
love it as much as they do to hunt or
fish.
The contest at Friendsville was pre-
sided over by three disinterested
judges, who at the close gave their
decisions, and the prizes were then
awarded. The contestants were class
ed as to age. Those oyer so years of

er was required to play Opera Reel"
billie in the Lowland" and one other
tune of his own selection. The second

age and each player was required to
play Mountain Hornpipe'' and one
other tune of his own selection. Upon
the rendition of the three selections
the judges were required to decide.
The prizes consisted of musical in
struments of various kinds and the
contests were spirited from start to
finish.
Many other musical features were
included in the program, and the con-
test was largely attended from the
town and surrounding section of
country. Several of these interesting
events will be held in Garrett and it's
adjoining counties during the fall and
winter.
The awards were as follows: Fid-
oilers over 80 years old-First, John
