FOR oRATORI0 CONCERT THURS DAY EVENING IN WOOLSEY HALL.

AANhSoASdA nNniAu NlOSOu OOOAS
 night-Part of Orchestra to be Pres-
 ent--Sale of Seats Opens This Morn-
 ing-DOuble Sale to be in Progress New Haven Interested in Important
 Production.
 In Woolsey hall tonight the New Haven Oratorio society will hold it's last rehearsal, for the chorus alone, be- fore the concert on Tuesday evening, when Brahms great German Requi- em" and Mendessohn's Hymn of Praise" will be sung.
 Part of the New Haven Symphony orchestra, which is to assist in the im- portant production, will take part in to-night's rehearsal, and MT. H. B. Jepson will be at the Newbury organ.
 Dr. Parker's cast-iron rule of holding this rehearsal behind closed doors will be adhered to, so that not even the most intimate friend of the most infiu- ential member of the chorus will be admitted.
 That the society will give a good per- formance of this, one of the most beau tiful pieces of choral writing we have, is quite assured, for the chorus has worked as only a band of singers can whose heart and soul are in the work.
 It has been the hardest thing to mas ter the society has ever undertaken. One of the singers who has been in this chorus for years, when it was known as the Gounod society, said, 'The diff culties and impressiveness of character of Brahms Requiem" recalls Grell's mass, a work we sang more than ten years ago. Not that the two are of the same character but I remember how we worked then, Preparation for this concert brings back that notable performance"
 Seats for the concert will go on sale this morning at 10 o'clock at Stein- ert's, and at the Woolsey hall box of- flee. The sale will last uninterrupted- ly until the concert.
 Among a number of prominent musi- clans from out of town who are to be here for the concert on Thursday will be MT, Frank Damrosch, conductor of the famous Musical Art society of New York, chorus made up entirely of solo singers, choir and oratorio soloists, and regarded as the finest chorus in the world. MT Damrosch, who has a son at Yale, a freshman, is also leader of the New York Oratorio society. He had prepared for production the new Edgar oratorios, "The Kingdom" and ''rhe Apostles to be given on the nineteenth and twenty-ffth of March In Carnegie hall Sir Edward Edgar will conduct the works and is expected here next week. Mrs. Damrosch will also come. The Damrosches will be the guests of Dr and Mrs. Parker.

STATE POLO MEETING.
DISCUSSION CONCERNING FRAN
 CHTSE SEEKERS AT GARDE.

Season Extended Until April 15--ln-
 crease of Rcferee's Pay--SpringflcId
 and HOlyoI1e Apply for Franchiss---
 Proposition of Eight Club League--
 Matters in Hands of Directors and
 Franchise Committee Managers
 Must Forward Names of Players for
 Next Seasons Team to Secretary
 Before April 18th.
 A long and spirited meeting of the Connecticut State Polo league was held yesterday afternoon at the Garde ho- tel. For four hours the managers of the six clubs and the officers of the association listened to and then dis eussed the matter concerning the seek ing of franchises by about ten diff ferent cities.
 The following managers were pres ent at the meeting: George Bone of New Haven, H. starkie of Hartford, w. w. Hanna of New Britain, sam uel Simmons and Robert Eadie of Bridgeport, E. H. Road and w Owens of Wallingford, P. F, McMahon and Robert T. Hall of Waterbury,
 It was voted at the meeting to ex- tend the season until April 15. It was also voted to Increase the pay of the referees. Among the many franchise seekers present were H. Durant and Charles J. Kennedy of Springfield, T. P. McDermott Of Holyoke, They want these two cities to be in the State Polo league These cities have excellent halls for polo and their representatives agree to abide by the constitution of the State league. J. B. McKenna, rep resenting Taunton, proposed at the meeting that an eight-club league be formed consisting of Providence, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, New Haven, Wallingford, New Britain and Bridgeport. The consideration of these matters, although thoroughly discussed yesterday afternoon, will lay in the hands of the managers.
 McKenna's 8 proposition is to get the cream of the polo players in Connecti- cut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and have one league If the directors do not like this, then McKenna will probably farm a league in Massachu- setts. The directors of the league lis tened to the pleas of the various fran chise seekers, but did not take any def- mite action concerning them. The d. rn the six-club league as it now stands, and 1t is very doubtful if McKenna's s plan will be of much value w. H. Slack of Holyoke, also applied for a franchise as did Whitney Caldwell for Meriden and w. T, Tracey of Bristol Both desiretwo franchises for those cities.
 All the matters concerning the grant ing of franchises will be under the con- trol of tn efranchise committed, who will make a repaort of the condition in reference to polo in these various cities. This report will probably be acted upon at the next meeting.
 It was decided at the meeting that each team play two games on Good Friday and that the gross receipts be divided between the teams. The man. agers of the six clubs must forward to the secretary, William Feet, before April 15, the names of players for next esason. They cannot hand in more than seven names.
 Wallingsford's percentage in the league stand has been increased to 250, they having been given a disputed game.
 The franchise committee consists of P. McMahon, w w. Hanna and H. Starkie.
