1.-THE CREATION'' GIVEN BY ORA
 TORIO SOCIETY.

For the first time in the musical history of Bridgeport Hayden's ora torio of The Creation was given last night at the Park City theatre by the Oratorio society. It was the second public concert given by the same or ganfzation the present season.
 The Creation is the lightest of the popular oratortos, and it's se1ec- ton last evening was, for that reason. a happy one Three years ago 'tThe Messiah was essayed here, and those who remember that production and had the good fortune to hear the ora torio last night must have noted with satisfaction the advance in choral work in this city. The local society was assisted by Emil Fischer, Mime Corrine Moore and Franklin Miller, and while their work was of a high order, and in some instances inspir- ing, especially the efforts Of Herr Fischer at times it is the know1edge of growing musical culture in Bridge port that gives the most satisfaction and this the. performance of last ev- ening demonstrated.
 There were nearly 200 voices in the chorus and they were accompanied by an orchestra from the New York Symphony society Frank Danrosch, who has drilled the society for some time was conductor.
 The credit of the success of the af- fair should be given to Manager A. J. Wilkins and Nathan c. Herz, who as stunned all the labor connected with the undertaking

BIG SCRAP

Willard Stops Training, and
CurIey Thinks Bout Due for
Juarez.

Ell PAsO. Feb. A.-The conviction is
growing that the championship battle
between Jack johnson and Jess Willard
will not be fought at Juarez on March
or at any other time. Preparations
for the big go are at a standstill. The
promoters do not know where they
stand. Willard has stopped training.
And all In all the outlook is very dubi-
GUS.
The latest information from Cuba Ia
that johnson will not leave that island
for Mexico. He will not take any
chances Of being held by General Car
ranza's troops with the probability
OF heing turned over to the United
ports the big Smoke" appears to be

that he does not want to 70 stale. He

dation'ng himself until he finds out

BASKETBALL LATER
Track Meet and Loss of Tormey
Handicaps the Blue and
Gray Team This Week.

Just when the basketball teams Of
Georgetown and George Washington
Will get together in that return game Is
a matter Of supposition. The Blue and
Gray players are minus the services OF
Jim Torney. while the George WASH
ington team has been through a gruel-
ing week of games in and around New
York
The managers Of the two institutions
got together yesterday and agreed to
call the game Off for awhile. Charles
r. Cox. OF Georgetown. said that 1t
would be for the interest OF both teams
as there was much doing for George
town this week in the track world, and
that as q banner crowd was sure to be
on hand for the basketball team the
Hilltoppers would rather wait awhile.
Prof. McNemar. of George Washing
ton. agreed with the Hilltop manager.
and consented to postponement. George
Washington is to meet the University
Of Virginia team here Friday. and
would rather rest up.
