Liston, Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, expresses appreciation of the arrangements made for the transport of visitors to and from the celebrations, in the following terms:—

“Now that the Centenary is over I count it a duty and a pleasure to offer you both my warmest thanks for the splendid assistance given by the Railway Department, and our cordial felicitations on the most efficient arrangements. The Officers of the Department, one and all, showed us every possible courtesy and consideration, and its excellent provisions meant much for the comfort of our visitors. We feel deeply indebted for all this service, and ask you to accept for yourself and to extend to the members of the Railways Staff this expression of our deep appreciation.”
