Oue man was drowned in the mill race
and boy in the pond. This table shows
ihat Of the twenty-onc boys fifteen We're
GrO yned in the river. and 10 is not unrea-
souabe 10 suppose that the great majority
Of these little fellows lost their lives in the
attempt 10 satisfy The rayng OF every boys
heart the summer. Other views from re-
preventative citizens are as follows:
IT SHOULD BE FREE.
Mr.. Thomas Potts: do not know whether
one would pay in Richmond or not, but !
am heartily In favor of "a free one. II would
help the health 0f the city 100 lit'. and !
think that such an institution should De
paid for bv the CITY just as lis other current
expenses are paid.
AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
Mr.. :. II. Bowman: II j., an excellent
idea. and should meet with a hearty re-
sponse. am confident that If managed
right it will pay. GO not think "a free one
is good plan.
II WOULD ~'fr STRANGERS.
Mr. W. r. 1rlge: am in favor Of any
thing that will add io Rrhmond's health
and prosperity. Strangers coming i'm the
city would appreciate "a uatat0rium, mas
much as they have not become used to
dealing with our warm weather.
HOW II WOULD PAY.
Mr.. William johnson: II is an excellent
scheme and if confined to the white popu-
lation would be paving Investment.
THE BOYS AND TuE LAKE.
Mr.. Walter Mercer: like the idea first
rate. Many Of the boys who -o 10 the lake
would paironize such place. ann not IN
favor of a free one.
An UNTANOBABLE ONE.
Mr.. Manly y. Ramos. I do not think a
natAtorum would pay in Richmond, and If
il is free the scheme viii soon boz broken up.
There is no great necessity for one tnat can
see.
NOT TIME TO GO TO THE RiN ER.
Mr.. John T.. Boisseau: \ pretty good
thing. and will be appreciated by mea who
have not time 10 20 % the river.
AGOOD SCHEME.
Mr. Arthur =. WHY: \ good scheme. and

LADIES AND CHILDREN.
