1.-THE CREATION. '

The Washington Choral club and the
 Litchfeld Singing club, combined, will
 give Haydn S oratorio of ..The Crea-
 ton" on August 23, in Washington and
 on August 24 in Litchfield under the
 direction of Arthur D. Woodruff of
 New York and Washington. Ambit-
 ious! some say, but the clubs and the
 conductor know that it can be done and
 feel that in the third year of the com
 bination of the two clubs, some work
 of magnitude should be given, so this
 one has been selected. The choruses
 have been working since June 9, every
 week and for several weeks, twice each
 week, to prepare their part of the per
 formance and are nearly ready. The
 soloist question is one of money, which
 is being expended freely, to give the
 proper rendition of the difficult Arias,
 recitatives and solo numbers. The or chestra is the same as last season with the addition of flute and is selected from the New York Philharmonic so- ciety and none better can be found. MT Dannreuther, who is looked upon | as indispensable at these concerts, will 1 be the leading violinist. Miss Bernita Earl, young and talented musician
 from Jersey City will preside at the
 piano. Miss Blanche Duffield, who was
 so popular at last seasons concerts and
 received so many encores, has been re-
 engaged to sing the forid and e1abor-
 ate solos written by Papa Haydn
 for soprano. "On Mighty Pens, . with flute obligato, is specially well suited
