RESULT OF CONTEST.
FiddlinE Competition Ends in
Vaudeville Engagement.

Vaudeville Engagement.
The story Of how The Four Old Sol
6ier Fiddlers." at Chases this week,
became a polite vaudeville attraction
makes interesting reading and shows
the changes wrought by the whirligig of
time About two years ago. Col J. Z.
Pattee, Of Huntington. w. Va, formerly
OF this city, conceived the idea OF getting
up a fddling contest between old men.
IL was arranged. prizes were offered, and
the competition was restricted 10 men
over fifty years old. The immense sue
cess OF II led Col. Pattee TO arrange a
tour and. with seven or eight ancient
hddIers, visited the leading resorts In
the vicinity of their home. usually appear
ing under the auspices OF the Daughters
Of the Confederacy. Eventually but four
OF the original number remained, and
last February n vaudeville magnate hap
pened 10 be az Old Point Comfort and
soon he was told Of q quartet OF old,
gray haired musicians who were stirring
up scenes Of extraordinary enthusiasm
by playing the old time melodies. He
found them hddling before a tremen-
dously aroused audience Of Confederate
veterans in the Soldiers Home. He
watched the tears coursing down the
cheeks OF the old soldiers as they listened
20 the plaintive and stirring strains Of
Dixie" "Old Black joe" The old
Folks at Home" My old Kentucky
Home" "Mockng Bird" and other be
fore-the-war ballads. He wisely concluded
that any performance that produced such
effects must possess the subtle influence
that moves vaudeville audiences.
To make long story short the four
veterans were taken in hand and an act
framed around them representing a re-
union of the Blue and the Cray at
Gettysburg. the old scene OF civil car
mage Mt it appears to-day. with its count
less monuments and statues marking the
historic conflicts. In some cities. hun
dreds Of veterans have gone upon the
stage TO shake hands with the old I'D
dlers and join in singing Aud Lang
Syne," a sight that has stirred the aud
fences to scenes Of fairly wild enthusl-
asm. Col Pattee and Capt Dillon.
another member Of the quartet, were In
the battle Of Gettysburg FOR four days
on opposing sides. but they never met
until two years ago, when their fiddles
brought them together.
