BATHING FACILITIES.
EASMA BEACH TO OPEN ON SATURDAY.
It has been announced that the Easha Bathing Beach at Stone- cutters Island will be opened as in previous years, the first day of the season being Saturday next.
A launch will leave Blake Pier, .on Saturdays and Sundays at 4 p.m., and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 p.m., returning from Stonecuttora for Hongkong at 7 pm. and calling at Kowloon at approximately 7.30 p.m..
The fare for visitors, including, tea at the Beach, has been fixed at 80 cents, but it is necessary that they be introduced by members.
Observing that the majority.of the local bathing beaches are overcrowded during the warm weather and that the 'Ex-Service- men's preserve at Stonecutters is probably the best in the Colony, it is anticipated that the demand for tickets will be greater than ever this year.
Numbers will be strictly limited,
