STEAMER CAsTINE BREAKS HER SHAFT. The
steamer Castine was on the Golden Rods route
| last week while the latter was at Camden for
repairs, and started Saturday morning on her
| last trip, when in backing out from the wharf
at Castine it was found that her shaft was
broken and she had to tie up. She had been
| chartered to take the Coot Club on their an
nual trip and was to have left Belfast that af-
ternoon. 1t was the first time IN the fourteen
years the boat has been in the excursion bust
ness that she has disappointed party by an
accident of this kind Sunday the Anna Belle

grounded at Coopers lumber yard to take off
the wheel and take out the shaft, to be sent to
Camden to Lave a duplicate made. 1t is ex-
pected that The Castine will be in commission
again next Saturday.
The opening play at the Belfast Opera House
next Monday night, when the Gladys Klark
Company begins three nights engagement
will be THE Senator's Daughter" The play
has not hitherto had any considerable attention
in this country. 1t was produced for 1900
times in Europe previous to the year 1900 and
is now part of the repertoire OF most of the
Continental Stock Theatres. One element
which makes for the popularity of the play is
it's cheerful tone. 1t is the only one of few
plays that has happy and hopeful ending. The
play will be produced with all necessary scenic
equipments and mechanical effects, and from
all reports the presentation is one of unusual
merit Five high class specialtes are given at
each performance Popular prices, Is, rs and
IS cents, and seats are now on sale at the box

Rockland to Bucksport that day and arrange
ments were made to have the steamer call here
