BATHING.
To the Editor of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir — I was very much surprised on going to the Maitai this morning, to take my bath as customary, to find that oue of those grim preservers of the law, commonly called " Bobbies," had heen to the spot, at which a goodly number of us junior members of society perform our ablutions, about a hundred yards above the Nile-street Bridge, and peremptorily forbade anyone going into the water, at least with his clothes off. Surely the spot i.n question is sufficiently secluded, even to satisfy the scruples of the most fastidious, to allow us the enjoyment of a little of this manly exercise before 8 o'clock in the morning, without being interfered with by the qualmishness of oue or two individuals ; and I would ask through tbe medium of your columns, the reason of this sudden interference with our healthful exercise, as it putsus to great inconvenience, the next bathing hole being a considerable distance from town, lam, &c, One of the Juniors.
