To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
When was walking this afternoon, between two
and three o'clock from the foot Of West street to-
wards the salt water bath / noticed between this
and pier No. l North river seven carcasscs, all
belonging to the cat and dog species, lying high
and dry on the shore, scattered area OF not
more than twenty or thirty feet In length. They
were Of all sizes and cOlOrs Zone large bull dog,
white, with black ears inc.uded) and in all stages
OF decOmpOstOn they had evidently been lying
there for some days at least
When approached the bath there was one more
"a white one, who was just doubling the northwest
cape OF the bath. and another one Ia black one had
just cleared The bridge which leads to the bath;
they all steered at moderate rate Of speed III a
northwesterly direction, evidently bound for pier
No. ], where they intended to lay up.
These fellows come in regularly with the tide and
seem to have their regular landing place near pier
No. l. Their landing, OF course, cannot be pre-
vented but think IL must be somebody's duty to
see that they do not remain In the immediate vicin-
y OF the BATH neither on shore nor In the water,
under these circumstances cleanliness must demand
to keep out OF the water at the Battery rather than
to 20 and take bath there. J. J. b.
