AT Local TheQters
Murray.


Upon the ringing down of the final
curtain at the Murray this evening
will see the close of a very successful
season. 1t has been the aim of Man
ager Murray to give to the public only
the very best acts available; seeking
at all times to procure the kinds of
acts that the Richmond public like,
and to say that he has succeeded is
putting it mildly as has been demon
strated by the large crowds attending
the theatre during the past season.
During the next three weeks the
theater will be thoroughly cleaned and
renovated, the wood work thoroughly
painted and vanished.
For next season Mr. Murray has a
line on a number OF feature acts that
have never before been seen in this
part OF the country and when the thea.
ter opens up on Labor Day for another
theatrical season Richmond will have
an opportunity of seeing better vau-
deville than they have ever seen be-
fore.
The management takes this means
of thanking the Richmond public, one
and all for their kind patronage dur
ing the past season and hope to see
you all on our opening day for the new
season which commences with the us
ual Labor Day matinee, Monday,
Sept. 4.

The barkentine Irmgard, from San
Francisco, was torn from her mooring
in MahukOna and drifted out to sea
last Tuesday. The barkentine arrived
in Mahukona on Tuesday and made
her mooring lines fast but they were
unable to withstand the force of the
blow and finally they parted. The
Mauna Kea was in port at the time
and watched the barkentine drift out
to sea, but no fears are entertained
as to her position. "She will simply
heave to and wait till the gale has
abated," said Captain Freeman, this
morning "There is nothing to be
feared. She was in harbor but had
to get clear of land when the storm
struck her" Captain Jackson is in
command of the Irmgard, which is of
S14 tons.

Senator H. T. Moore, the only Dem
ocrat in the upper house of the
Hawaiian Legislature, has written from
San Francisco that it will be impos-
sible for him to retrn to Honolulu to
attend the 1911 session, which begins
next Wednesday. Ill health is the
reason given for the senator's in
ability to make the journey at this
time.
A letter from Senator Moore will
be presented to the Senate when it
meets, and it will then be up to the
Senate to decide whether to declare
the eat vacant and have special
election or not.
1t is claimed by some that the Sen
ate has the power to dispose of the
matter by simply passing a resolution
granting Moore leave of absence. This
would mean paying the senator $500
