As to '.ordinary.,trains stopping at Otaki for race-goers, the - Department points out that undor-.the -curtailed system the accommodation i 3 limited, and deaignetJ only for those who are compelled to travel in the ordinary course of business, and who "ought not to be crowded out by tho£e who merely want to go to the races. •
