A MUSICAL RIOT.
One Of the Attractions at an Old Time
Virginia Celebration.

One Of the Attractions at an Old Time
Virginia Celebration.
Here is a program observed in the
celebration of st. Andrews day in an
old Virginia town in 1881:
That a fiddle be played for by twenty
fiddlers, every person to bring his own
fiddle. After the prize is won they are
all to play together and each one a
different tune and then be treated by
the company.
That twelve boys Of twelve years of
age do run for 112 yards for hat at
the cost Of IL shillings.
That flag be flying on said day
thirty feet high.
That after dinner the royal health.
his honor the governors. Is to be
drunk.
That a pair Of silver buckles be
wrestled for by a number Of brisk
young men.
That pair of handsome shoes be
danced for.
That a pair of handsome silk stock
ings of one pistole value be given to
the handsomest young maid that ap-
pears in the field.
1t is probable, says the Ohio State
Journal, our tastes are too much
changed to enjoy such list Of attrac-
tons, but one may imagine what fun
they must have caused.
