He is the son of Richard Hudson, better known in Lancashire as "Dick o' New-laith," a famous fiddler, and was born at Goodshawfold, Rossendale Valley, on Feb. 27, 1859. He has received a good elementary education, and has taken up chemistry latterly as a hobby. He has made up to date about one hundred violins, and a few violoncellos and double-basses. He follows various models, and the workmanship is good and careful.
