Answers To Correspondents
J.C.—A good descriptive article. Unfortunately we are already printing one on same subject. Katiti.—Fine, your singer reaches our heart. F.S.—The mental specialist was a natural corollary. What could you expect? W.G.B.—Not keen on horrors; and this story, though well told, rakes over old evil for no purpose.
Note.—Owing to pressure of space, comment on a number of manuscripts is held over.
Popular Football Excursions.
The excursions run by the Railways Department for the recent Ranfurly Shield match in Christchurch, were very well patronised. Invercargill sent three trainloads which aggregated 1,500 passengers by the time the trains reached Christchurch. Westland sent four train-loads, with about 2,000 passengers. The low fares provided by the Railways helped to popularise these outings. On this point the Dunedin “Evening Star” states that one of the arguments arising on the excursion of footballers from Invercargill to Christchurch was as to the exact distance that the Railway Department was carrying for 25/-. The total distance passengers were carried for this sum was 738 miles, the rate being less than ½d. per mile.

Cook, is the finest I have seen in the world!”
