THE ST. CLAIR BATHS.
TO THE EDITOB.
sib,tt-I see at the recent meeting of the Caversham Cpancil it was stated that £300 sterling could be obtained to construct a ladies' bath in the little bay beyond the present bath at St. Clair.
I am informed on good authority that a pec- | fectly secluded ladies' bath could be cheaper and more easily constructed on the St. Clair side of the present bath, and save that the ladies would approach their bath by the same road as the gentlemi-.p they would be quite private. it would be a great pity to spoil the beautifully sheltered little sandy cove under the bluff in the bay referred to by the erection of a bath building. On holiday?, as I have every opportunity lor observing, this sheltered spot is packed with picnic patties and happy children playing oq the little atrip ct sand to be found there, the only sand in the bay. The proposed baih would deprive them o£ this playground, aud would be a los 3to the community, for which the bath would be no adequate compenEatiou—a loss which, seeing the required bath can beaonveuiently made elsewhere, there is no sense in incurring.—I am, &c. December 13. Robeut Patjlin.
