Cheap Transport for School Parties

By an arrangement made with the Auckland Transport Board, Mr. A. E. Lovell (Railway Passenger Agent in the Auckland district) has secured cheap transport by tram as well as by rail for country school parties visiting the Zoological Park of the Queen City. School parties of children and parents travelling at the very low railway rates for excursions of this type may hire tram transport by the tramload for conveyance between Auckland station and the Zoo, the rate for the return journey working out at about 5d. for children under 15 years of age, and 8d. for adults.

As a further incentive to travel, the Secretary of the Zoological Committee has written to all schoolmasters in the Auckland district offering prizes for the two best essays upon the subject “A Trip to the Zoo.”
