THE PICNIC SEASON

BUSY TIME FOR RAILWAYS. Although the picnic season is not yet in full swing a large number of applications for special services have already been received at the various railway offices. The popularity of the "picnic train” is' doubtless duo to tlie low fares charged for both large and small parties, together with the special facilities provided for the convenience of picnickers. An attractive booklet published by the Railway Department and widely distributed through New Zealand recently, contains. useful information relative to the location of, nnd facilities available at, the principal grounds in die Dominion. A comprehensive mileage table is a feature of tlie publication and the fare to any desired ground can lie readily ascertained by reference to the fare table. It is Interesting to note that approximately 300 trains of ten carriages each .would be required to accommodate the 172,331) picnickers carried by rail last year. Copies of booklet, are obtainable at all railway stations.
