EXCURSION FROM BLENHEIM.
ANNIVERSARY DAY. Per Press Association. BLENHEIM, Oct. 31. Marlborough will be largely out of town to-morrow oil the occasion of the seventy-fifth tnniversary of the foundation of the province. The ferry steamer Tamaliino, for a special excursion to Wellington for the day, is fully booked and will take over 900 passengers on a visit to Wellington. The steamer will arrive at Wellington about 10.15 a.m. and return in the late afternoon. Some of the excursionists, living at the end of the railway line, will leave their homes as early as 2.30 as their train leaves the terminus at Vard at 3.45 a.m., while the main body of excursionists join the train at Blenheim at 5.30 a.m. In spite of tho early hour it is safe to say that at least-2000 would have joined the ship if accommodation had been available, and there has been a good deal of profiteering in tickets. This morning a queue for tickets was formed before 6 o’clock. The weather prospects are good.
