For information 1t may be stated that the

It is easily reached bY steam and sail yachts
which ply to and fro on 5-cent fares. The perch

pier is quite. a resort for lovers of
the il-famed characters OF the city do
their Dest to make the place disrepufable. Tha
bum-Doats are large dat-boats In which men and
women get promiscuously drunk, and then fol-
lows dance on the boat, or still more crim-
inaI occupations on the pier. The bum~post
should be suppressed SO long as it caters only
to the disreputabEe classes. A reputable boat
upon larger scale than any now in use would
pay we'll, provided the police made the pier &C.
cessible to decent men, women, aud children.
