From “The Auckland Star” of 14th October: “As the result of the trip, the southern trainers who patronised the Auckland Spring Meeting have all expressed appreciation of the special horse train which was put on from Ellerslie on Tuesday afternoon. It made a fast run, and enabled trainers to reach home with a minimum of delay. There is no doubt that the Railway Department is making a creditable effort to meet the convenience of owners and trainers.
