BATHING AT ORIENTAL BAY
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—The other afternoon a friend and myself went around Oriental for a bathe in the afternoon. It was a glorious day; and it was pleasant lying in the sun. We had had only about half an hour in the sunshine, when a terrific clamour of a bell came from the dressing pavilion. This occurred at 4 p.m. On inquiring the cause of the din, we were told it was for everyone to get dressed, as the pavilion would shortly be locked up. How is this for our go-ahead Capital City? What nice rules we do have. Just when everyone is eager for a dip after a warm day, we go to the handiest beach, and the most up-to-date dressing pavilion in Wellington, only to find we are not allowed to bathe after 4 p.m., for we cannot bathe with all our clothes on, and it is against the bylaws to undress on the beach. —I am, etc.,
HOT AND GETTING HOTTER.
