Anderson, of Vancouver, r Aged 71 Tears," Is Successful In Competition With 13 Men at the Oaks. - ftemorlM and muslo of Ions w?; revived at the Oaks yesterday at the reunion and contest of pioneer fiaajf" they protest against being called violinists and through the primeval grove at the park: were heard strains almost forgotten, and the rollicking laughter of aged men grown young again. . It waa a novel entertainment, ana one that appealed strikingly to all the old pioneers 'who attended. But It was equally as Interesting, though not .so reminiscent, to the entire crowd of 1500 which gathered to hear It. The winner of the contest, strange to re late, was a woman, while. ' with the solitary exception of herself, all the contestants were men. And of 14 con testants there was none who had not cached the mark of three-score years. The first 'prise In this unique con test of venerable musicians was awarded to Mrs. 3. J. Anderson, 71 years of age. who resides 12 miles north of Vancouver. Washington. She rose early yesterday morning, drove alone to Vancouver and spent the day at the Oaks. She came to Oregon In 184S. Other winners and contestants were equally as descriptive of the time when fiddlers were In great demand. The . scene upon the stage where the patriar chal musicians were assembled was an unusual one especially for the stage of a modern show. Though whitened? and grizzled by time. they, fondled their in 1 struments with the same degree of care and pride as when first they began to use them. D. C. Freeman, manager of the Oaks. , presided at the contest, while he was ' assisted by Judge J. E. Magerc. presl- ! dent of the "ir-egon Pioneer Association. ' who also flelivered a brief address. ' The musicians participated In the con- I test at the Invitation of Mr. Freeman. ! The judges were Judge Magers, Dr. ' Charles Kaffety and George H. Hlmes. Towns and communities In all parts of the Willamette valley were represented In the crowds. Hamlin Takes Second Prize. i The second prize was awarded to paries H. Hamlin, of Tremont Place, I -is city. As a stately and picturesque i figure, he certainly would have re ceived a prize In any contest. Tall, ; with fluffy, white hair falling down upon his shoulders, his ' patriarchal I mien alone won - him immediate ap plause. He Is 74 years of age and rendered on his fiddle an imitation of a Scotch bagpipe. To Robert F- Johnson. Qf WcMInn vllle, 7 years of age, was awarded the third prize. . After playing several an cient airs, he paused and told the au dience of his fiddle, and the apparent reverence with which he regarded It oread through the audience. "I bought it 57 years ago." he said, and carried 1t with me through the Civil War. It Is composed of 147 pieces, and when my brother waa killed at Vicksburg, and I could not carry 'it away, I. took it all to pieces and tied them in my handkerchief." In that way he saved his fiddle. After telling his story he played a piece of his own composition descriptive of the siege of Vicksburg. where he lost a brother and came so near losing his fiddle. He also made a hit with the audience by playing cwo old-time fa vorites. "The Opera Ren." and "Old ZId Coon." Aged Samuel Chase, of Montavilla, sang an Improvised song, accompany ing it by his fiddle, entitled, "Rocky Road to Dublin." The first piece on the programme waa by Joseph Yates, of Corvallls, aged 74 years. He sang ome old-time songs and related some Vunny stories which caused great ap plause. List of Participants. . Among the others who participated in the contest were: H. M. Jackson and Mr. Hughes, of Portland: A. J. Huston, of St. John: M. IX Ford, city; Joseph Keffer, city: A. Palmlter. S. H. Morris, city; D. C. Bowers and W. W. Gassett. Mr. Gassett, by the way. was one of the star features with his mountain hornpipe. At the conclusion of the programme the audience was unanimous In Its re quest for a roncert in which the en tire company participated. However, the request was not granted because of the lateness of the hour. The con cert began at 1 o'clock and the fun and music continued until after &. Among the musical numbers which won especial favor at the hands of the audience were: "Ilck McGarry." "The Pcoldlng Wife." "Leather- Breeches." Suspenders over the Fence," and thers which are said to have been old-time favorites. When the jrogramme was concluded an Informal reception was held and It was enthusiastically agreed by the fiddlers that a similar reunion will hereafter be. an annual affair. Mr. Hlmes announced that a fiddlers' con test would also be an auxiliary feature cf the annual meeting of the Oregon Pioneers Association. Monday's programme will be as fol lows: .in T M.

Nearly $45,000 worth of these magnificent productions will be displayed at the Eilers establishment during the ensuing week. It is said that over $11,000 worth of Grand Pianos alone are dis played in the westerly show window of the firm on Washington street. Music-lovers will surely be accorded a treat during the coming week, and no one interested should fail to pay Eilers Piano House a visit of. inspection. ' 6 f bimmm& In keeping with the building of hundreds of beautiful modern homes comes the demand for that modern music-lovers' luxury, the Grand. A few years ago the sale of a single Grand was a matter of sufficient importance to receive extensive newspaper mention. Today the receipt of even three or four carloads is accorded but passing mention. , . . .18 ! X r, --. i y i.ia r lj - - m-- n - I r- : "i t - - : , . ! r
