It appears from the last Annual Report of the Commissioners
that the number of Batheis (123,533) for the
year 1893 was 14,771 in excess of the number for the

bathers is very satisfactory to note, the more so as the new
bath is not wholly accountable for the increase, the
number of bathers frequenting the new bath being 5,193

Commissioners attribute this to the continued diminution
