To the Recorder:—
it seems strange tkei Condkohocksn,
situated so close to a river like the
Schuylklll ami offering so mair sd
mlrable places I that the
residents have nol ti ken adva
of ii before now. Swimming is an art
which ever) man. a tin and child
should know ami as there i» no place
are offered to
the non-swimmers, children and
Inine sex, it would be well for th* i-it-
Isoro ' i Ihemseh •- log tln-i
