Fight Postponed.

The Johnson-Willard fight, scheduled for April 4th, Easter Sunday, has been postponed until Monday, April sth, due to an appeal made by the people of Havana and the U. S. President Monacal headed the petitioners in Havana. The Big Smoke ruled the favorite at 5 to 2, but these long odds are not expected to prevail at the ringside. Johnson is to receive $30,000, win, lose or draw, and also his training expenses.
