DACE days present a favorable opportunity for the Railway Department to give its antiquated rolling stock an airing, and some , historic old coaches are used to convey race traffic to metropolitan courses. The public don't mind this so much, as the journeys are usually short, but the least the department can do is to See that the carriages are clean. Some of the coaches on the first race train which left Dunedin for Winga'tui on the opening day of the meeting were m a disgraceful condition, the seats and back rests being coated with dust and grime.'
