Military Tattoos at Aldershot, Tidworth and Nottingham; the Navy Week displays at Portsmouth, Plymouth and Chatham; the Pageant of England at Slough; the Empire Service at Canterbury; the Army Review by His Majesty the King at Aldershot; and the Royal Review of the Fleet at Spithead.

Among special fare arrangements there may be noted the innovation known as “Inclusive Holidays,” introduced this season by the L.M. & S. and L. & N.E. lines. These inclusive holiday tickets provide full accommodation for a week at a hotel or boarding-house, day and half-day sight-seeing trips by rail, road and water, and rail travel to and from the selected resort. A weekly “inclusive holiday” ticket may be purchased for as little as $3/13/-, and a fortnightly ticket for $8/10/-, the charge, of course, varying according to the distance covered and the accommodation selected.
