To those who do not feel a sufficient interest in aquatics" "to care" much whether proper facilities for this form of healthy exercise exist or not,... the subject may appear to be one in which neither the Government nor the public are called upon to interest them- selves, and which ought to be left ov tirely to the members of the Victoria Recreation Club. It must be remem bered, however, that hitherto this small enclosure near Murray Wharf has been 3.48 the only thing in the shape of a public bath of which the colony could boast, It has always been as much open to the public as any institution that could be called a "Public Bath' could prudently be made in this colony, inasmuch as it might be said to be accessible to any respectable member of the non-Asiatic. 2254 population on payment, of the very moderate fes of $10 per annum. Bo long, then, as the Club's swimming place served to some extent the purpose for which it was intended the need of something better of that kind was not greatly felt. It is true that the eitus- tion of the bath has always bean re- garded as uncatisfactory. Cleanliness, one of the chief desiderata, in a swim-. ming bath, has never been one of its
