AMUSEMENT co.
OT.r From Celebrated Alcazar |
Th=atre Company.

OFF, From Celebrated Aicazar
Theatre Company
By the last steamer an answer was
received from the manager of the AL
cazar Theater Company, accepting the
offer of the Hawaiian Amusement
Company to come here for a season of
three weeks. The manager asks that
a contract, signed by Mr.. Scott, be sent
him for signature, and his company
will leave by first opportunity for Ho
nolulu.
This news would be considered sat
isfactory, but for the fact that a con-
tract or proposition has already been
sent to Mr. Goodwin for his accept
ance or refusal. A meeting Of the Elk
ecutiye Committee of the amusement
company was held yesterday, and it
was decided to have one of the com
mittee, who intends going to San Fran
cisco on June ?, see Mr.. Goodwin and
get decided answer from him. If he
decides not to visit Honolulu with his
company, then contract will be sign
ed with the Alcazar company, which
is said to be quite as good as the aver
age best company in the States.
George Osborne, one of the company,
has a reputation from Maine to Cali
fornia as the best character artist on
the American stage. Mrs. Bates, the
mother of Blanche Bates, is a favorite
with Honolulu people. having been
here twice few years ago, when she
played excellent engagements, under
the management of w. R. Daily.
Should this company come, it Will
be here by the Australia June 22d, and
open at the Opera House two days
later.
The repertoire of plays include some
OF the best known and most popular
royalty plays now being produced in
the United States.

which amounted to $500. 1t was
scarcely sufficient for marble statue
and even if it had been the monu-
ment would probably have been placed
in Nuuanu Cemetery, where it would
have been seen only on occasions
when a funeral procession passed into
the grounds.
At II o'clock yesterday morning a
committee of the Citizens Guard, COM
posed of Messrs. F. j. Lowrey, chair
man; w H. Hoogs, Theo. F. Lansing,
F. Weirick and George P Castle, met
the Cabinet by appointment and free
ly discussed the proposition The
committee, representing the entire
body of Citizens Guard, was anxious
that the memorial be placed in a po-
sitiOn, not only where it would be
seen, but where it would be an orna-
ment to the city. The sum at hand is
limited, and it is the wish of the con-
tributors to make as good a show as
possible.
proposition was made to have the
memorial take the form of a fountain
of heroic size and beautiful design, to
DC SIeCI6u III the Triangle FORMING raj
ace Square. At present this spot is
marred by the presence OF the Chinese
shackS on the corner. The fountain,
as proposed, would materially add to
the other beauties of the locality and
take the eye from the shanties.
The plan met with the ready ap-
pTOval of President Dole, and permits
sion was at. once granted. The mem
bers of the Cabinet acquiesced, and
the committee will invite designs from
local artists, and when a decision is
made, it will be sent to the manufac-
turers in the States to be executed.
Just how long it will take TO complete
the work is not known, but it is sure
TO be ready for the Decoration Day
services next year. The space to be
occupied by the fountain will probably
be circular in form, and 30 feet in di-
ameter. A curling of native stone viii
surround this and enclose a grassy
sward. The fountain will be massive
made of iron, and of q most attractive
design. The reference to Mr.. Carter
will be on a handsome bronze plate,
bearing an inscription in bold letters.
The guardsmen are particularly hap
py over the result, as many inquiries
have been made of late regarding the
disposition of the money, and the COM
mittee is to be congratulated on the re-
suit Of the efforts to locate the me-
mortal

More sport For Nevada .

The Hon. Dan Stuart, the energetic
is soon to add to the glory OF Nevada, has
made the important announcement that
he will supplement the prize fights with
live bird shoot, to come off at Carson
Immediately following the fghts, or pos
sibly, interspersed among them. No
doubt cock fights will also be arranged
for, and, as the talented being who goes
into pit and fights bull dog with his
naked hands and jaws is sure to be on
the ground, We may expect that a match
will be fixed up for him. II is plainly to
be seen that the Hon. Mr. Stuart pro-
poses to spare no expenses to give the
people OF this country perfect saturnalia
Of "sport." The legislature will, of
course, adjourn, in honor of the event,
but If in the mean Time any additional
laws are required by the management to
make everything right and proper they
have but to indicate their wish and the
matter will be attended to even if night
session has to be held. 1t may seem
like carrying Goals to Newcastle to sug-
gest anything to General Stuart, but
while on the subject we beg leave to ask
il he has thought Of the State House as a
convenient and suitable place for his dog
and cock fights? The live bird slaughter
might be pulled off :" in the governor e
back yard.
