MISS MYRTA HOOVER We are fortunate indeed to have secured the services of Miss Myrta Hoover for Friday's musical. She is a vocalist with innumerable charms.

Progressive euchre was played at Tent Cardinal on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. J. A. Forbes won the Pop-Inn prize, Mr. J. A. Reed securing the "other" popcorn man's offering, and Miss J. A.

Bennett, of Kansas City, Mr. and Mrs. Bonney, Master Bonney, C. A. Bisbee, and Frank Wilkins. Vol. IV CORONADO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1903 CORONADO CONCERT ORCHESTRA. This Afternoon's Musical. THE ORCHESTRA The personnel of the combination to be heard at this afternoon's concert includes musicians of international reputation. It numbers sixteen pieces, and the instrumentation is considered perfection. The director is Mr. Henry Ohlmeyer, who needs no introduction to our concertgoers. THE SOLOISTS The vocalist who will appear before the Tent City audience this afternoon is Miss Myrta Hoover, a soprano from San Diego, who has won high honors in the art. She will sing the aria from Galathee, "Bright of Hue as Opening Roses" by Masse, and "Love's Nocturne," Hope Temple. A distinct novelty will be introduced by Frank Paulisch, the well-known cornet soloist with the Tent City Band. He will render a solo on the largest xylophone ever brought to California. DE KOVEN The program for this afternoon's musical will include a selection from Reginald De Koven's opera "Maid Marian." Of all the living American composers there are none whose names are held in so high esteem as that of De Koven, not only in the United States, but in Germany, England, and France his works are continually being performed before delighted audiences. His friends are legion, including some of the greatest lights of the musical world. During the last fifteen years he has composed industriously, producing more than 100 songs, besides orchestral works and minor pieces. The charm of his music lies in its originality; his melodies are clear-cut and spontaneous, while his harmonies are boldly framed, producing effects strikingly vigorous. He is a master of instrumentation, and his orchestrations are beautiful of color. AUBER His music is not marked by depth of thought or strength of feeling. His combinations are ingenious, but not profound, and his melodies, though often sweet and sometimes tender, are rarely pathetic. But his music is brilliant, sparkling, exhilirating, and remarkable for the clearness of its dramatic effects, even in scenes of the greatest bustle and confusion. This composer's "Crown of Diamonds" overture will be played at the musical this afternoon. The original ideas, the melodies, and an elegant instrumentation distinguishes this work, which is one of the gifted Frenchman's finest efforts. MOSES-TOBANI "The Spanish Patrol," by Moses-Tobani, and "Hearts and Flowers" by the same DAILY PROGRAM No. 74 composer will be played today. In the history of music very few compositions have reached the immense popularity and the enormous sale that "Hearts and Flowers" has attained since its publication, and, although it is many years since the sale commenced, it is still given a place among the names of the masters on the programs of all the great musical organizations, and the demand for copies from the publisher is as great as in the beginning and possibly more so. Doors open at 3 o'clock. Performance begins at 3:30. Children in arms not admitted. Admission 10 cents. THE DAILY PROGRAM. It is not a great, big paper, but it is strictly up to date. It hasn't any supplement or colored fashion plate. It comes out every morning unless the forms are pied. It's full of campers' scandal, with bowling news inside. It hasn't any gambling news or the latest price of hay But it tells that many a tenter is here and here to stay. It doesn't seem to worry when it comes out hours late, And says that Billy Ingelow has run across his fate. It never mentions Lipton or Joseph Chamberlain, But says that Slocum's picture store has a brand new window pane. And that the Lady Clubites will give a festival, And that the local sporting men got out and played some ball. It tells about the sickness Joey Hammond had, And says the big bass player has become a happy dad; It says that the lobster fishing has already commenced, And that you can see the dive of "Cash" for the price of just ten cents. It mentions Professor Oly in just one paragraph, And says that Barber Hinman has bought a yearling calf. And most of all that happens within this little town Is written of and more besides by "the man who jots it down." You don't have to subscribe for it, which honestly, I like; And every morn' you'll find them free hanging on the spike. It's not a city daily, but on this side o' the bay, We think its just A 1, sir, and we hope it comes our way. Hans Marquardt, of San Diego, entertained a number of friends at the restaurant on Wednesday. Mr. G. O. Jenner entertained Mrs. Celia Slocum and Mrs. Parker Evans at the Cafe on Tuesday evening.
