Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Mr. Slim as he appeared on the beach at Cony [sic] Island ; He applies at the 'office' for a bathing-dress ; Is requested to leave his valuables with the clerk ; The clerk directs him to bathing-box no. 40 ; He finds it impossible to disrobe and keep the door shut at the same time ; There are so many people around that he is ashamed; but finally makes a dash ; He plunges in and waits for a 'breaker' ; The 'breaker' catches him."
Source note: Harper's magazine. (New York : Harper Brothers, 1850-).
