i THE SWIMMING BATHS. was crush
at the opening of the new swimming baths
last night. Yielding to importantly. the
management opened the baths before the
work was complete Life lines are not yet
| placed on the sides. the dressing rooms were
unighted, the tank not half full. When
good lights are provided. plenty Of towelling
supplied, the tank filed and kept full and
| changing, the Natatoripm will become very
popular resort. 1t is well built. convenient,
| airy; supplied with the purest of water; adj
mirably arranged for the teaching of tyros
from the bench or terrace surround
| ing the tank the water warmed
to a comfortable temperature, and the
| dressing-rooms numerous, and retired
enough to suit the most exacting.
| In day or two the arrangements will sill
be completed and most desirable addition
made to the citys places OF resort. The man
! agement last night was unprovlded with bath.
| ing suits, and bathers were compelled to pur-
i.l.. rAarc
! All first class bathing establishments supply
bathers with cheap kind of Sc trunks !" for
men and a neat bathing garment for women,
and this the Nstatorium proprietors will Of
course do, so soon as they can complete their
arrangements, though it is best for bathers
always to own their own costumes. 1t is ev-
dent that the baths will become popular. and
that the patronage will warrant their being
conducted in first-class style, which there is
every reason to believe the management will
do. It has not got its grip yet, and tie
public should wait patiently, though in this
hot weather patience is more than virtue.
