RUSHES THROUGH
TO SAN MATEO
General Corbin Seeks to
Avoid Being interviewed
on the Marriage Question
BIG SPORTS IN VIEW
Major Van Vliet Is Arrang-
ing Programme for Tour
nament at the PreSidio

In his anxiety to escape being inter-
viewed on the subject of the marriage
of young army lieutenants Major Cen
e-al Henry C. Corbin, who arrived
from the East in his private car early
yesterday morning, hurried on through
to San Mateo, where the Corbins are
the guests of Mrs. Fred Kuhl. Gen
eIal Corbin, who is en- route to Manila
to assume command or the Division
of the Philippines, did not even visit
army headquarters here to pay his re-
spects to Major General Macarthur.
His aid, Captain James A Moss, called
at the Phelan building for his chiefs
mail and announced that General Cor
bin probably would make formal call
on General Macarthur next Monday.
The young lieutenants do not take
kindly to General Corbin's suggestion.
They know that he is provided with
ample means. His salary is $1,000 a
year, and it is reported that the income
of his young wife is somewhere in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 per annum,
which makes a neat sum total for the
Corbins of 900 a year to keep the
wolf from the door.
Mrs. Corbin, who was Miss Edith
Patton, is well known in this city.

sisters until she went to Washington,

The athletic tournament to be held at
the Presidio on November IL, Is and 10
is occupying a great deal of attentionu,
not only by the officers, but by the en-
listed men. Major r. c. Van Vliet, who
has charge of the exercises, is an adept
in that line. He has chosen to assist
him Captain John L. Hayden, Captain
George P. White and Lieutenant NJ. E.
Locke.
The big flagpole was put up yester-
day over the new division headquarters
in the Grant building, from which Old
Glory is to float.
Major Lea Febiger, inspector gener-
ais department, was at the Preside in
specting the troops yesterday.
The troops of the Twenty eighth In
fantry were paid off yesterday, so there
is plenty of money jingling in the camp.
Captain John F. Madden will leave

HOFFMAN, PLAYS
THE WIT WITH
THE "CARNIVAL"

In the whimsical, daintily capricious
field Hoffman, skips lightly ahead of
perhaps any of his contemporaries.
He is here very Puck of the piano.

augmented and noisy house-the pian-
ist gave the Schumann Carnival" !"
Elhsh, almost impish, was its hu-
fauns through the leaves. At need,
too, ii had all the brilliant bravura
quality, and at times considerable
tenderness-whichi is not the most no.
table mark of the Hofmann genius.
But the wit of the thing-the word
is better than "humor"-most distin-
guished the reading.
Something of the same quality one
lifted to in the old French group.
Technically they were adorable, and
only in the "Tenebreuse" (Couperin)
are the deeper emotions drawn upon.
Here. in La Tenebreuse." Mr.. Hof-
mann achieved delightful breadth, rare
beauty of tone and noble poise. In
lie Rappel des O1seaux," larks trilling
through rosy mists, and the gro
tesque and stamping lie Tambourin"
(Couperin), he was equally and ex-
quisitely within his sympathies.
The Beethoven sonata was the
op. %. Nearer to Beethoven playing
came the pianist in the adagio than
elsewhere throughout the sonata,
though certain passages in the first
movement were nobly characterized,
and both the minuet and finale wore
various splendors. But Mr.. Hofmann's
Beethoven sympathy is episode, not
for the thing in mass.
A colossal group of Chopin etudes
followed. Space permits mention only
of brilliant tenderness of the G sharp
minor, and the T minor with its vi
cious, anchored trill. In the two @ fiat
Butterfly" studies the pianist SIM
ply flew. The audience encored both,
Of course. A Gluck-Sgambati mel
ody, grave and lovely. a dashing
TContra bandist'' (Schumann-Tausig),
and an altogether delicious 'Hark,
Hark. the Lark" followed. A Lizst
rhapsody closed the programme, ex-
cept for the imperiously compelled
encore. the c minor nocturne of
Chopin. Saturday afternoon will be
the last recital.

Harding dined with a negro at
the Arcade Hotel here last even

the few local Republicans who en-
tertained the executives when
they came here for a speaking en-

was Sully Jaynes, a young local
lawyer who had been named on
the reception committee, but who
was given the slip when the party
went to the dining room. County
Chairman Hayard remarked to
JaYnes that be was sorry be had
not come sooner, whereupon he
remarked that he guessed there
was enough left for him and sat
down. The matter has created a

has been criticised for not ex-

made no sign and the dinner was
