Excursions by Rail

Excursions by Rail.

In a note received from the Passenger Agent for the Auckland district, mention is made of the great success attending the Friendly Societies' excursion from Hamilton to Tauranga.

It was necessary to provide two specials, one of 21 cars, the other of 20, to cope with the crowd. Two thousand two hundred people travelled and the revenue exceeded £500.

Mr. Lovell states, “The whole arrangements worked like clockwork, and the Secretary of the Combined Friendly Societies thanked me on behalf of his organisation for the successful manner in which the excursionists were handled.”
