PICNIC TRAIN ARRANGEMENTS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In reply to “New Year Picnicker,” of Friday’s issue, he' seems to have come into print under the wrong nom-de-plume, which should have / been “Grouser.” His accuracy in counting can be taken for its worth when I tell you that, at Terrace End alone, 120 tickets were sold to passengers who boarded the train in question, and if his counting of time was in accordance with that of passengers we can quite understand the state of his mind when leaving Palmerston North railway station. Especially at New Year time it is a poor heart that does not rejoice. With regard to the picnic train arrangements, the latter were all that could be desired, and in appreciating the officials’ efforts to this end I consider that “New Year ~ Picnicker” does not know how much he has to know in order to know how little he does know about the above picnic train arrangements. —I am, etc., “AN EXPERIENCED PICNIOKER.”
