FAVOUR TO RACEGOERS
(To the Editor.)
Sir, — I am very much in agreement with your correspondent who complained about the racegoers being the favoured part of the community, having so many special trains put on, before anybody else, even the defenders of our country. On Saturday I had occasion to travel by the 1.15 p.m. train to Paekakariki, which usually has about 10 carriages on, all of which are usually full. Owing to race day we had to be content with four carriages; which could not even start to cope with the usual passengers, let alone all the additional people holiday-making, >and soldiers on leave. We were packed like sardines, although it -was better standing, as the carriages were of the oldest type.— l am, etc.,
