CORONATION PROCESSION.
NO SEATS AT REASONABLE PRICE (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) LONDON, September 2. A leading New Zealander who endeavoured to reserve seats on the route of the Coronation procession told the Associated Press that not one seat was available at a reasonable price, though he offered three guineas for moderate positions as soon as the route was announced. Some even gambled on the route and booked heavily before the announcement.
It is understood that New Zealand applied for a reserve to accommodate one- thousand for which hundreds of applications have already been received. The official secretary, circularising applicants, stated that the anticipated demand considerably exceeded the supply and urged that private reservations were desirable.
