ST. CLAIR BEACH.
TO THE EDITOR, ( Sir, —Some few months ago visitors to St. Clair expressed alarm at the huge area of boulders that had made their appearance, and were outspoken in their belief that the' cause could he traced to tho esplanade and tho recently-formed Ocean Drive. 'The sudden erosion of sand that had taken place Justified their looking for some cause. It would repay them were they now to take a visit to St. Clair, especially at low tide, and see for themselves how the sand has made up. As a resident of Dunedin of long standing, I can safely say that the Ocean Beach today more closely resembles what it was 40 years ego, and before the hand of man had started to interfere with it. Cur-snow-white sandhills, the pleasure of old and young alike, are gone for ever as a natural playground, but it is satisfactory to know that, given fine weather and certain conditions, the beach is as good as ever it Avas.—l am, etc., Dujtedinite.
