MELBOURNE CENTENARY
RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS. The railways of the Commonwealth have now issued a schedule of reduced fares for visitors to Victoria from all States during the centenary celebrations and the visit of the Duke of Gloucester. The holiday excursion fare will be a reduction of 16 2-3 per cent, below the ordinary fare, and the tickets will be available for three months. The usual break of journey privileges will apply, and sleeping berths may be booked on trains for which the tickets are available. For special events, such as the arrival of the Duke of Gloucester, the finish of the Air Race, the Melbourne Cup, and the Royal Agricultural Show, special trains will run from Sydney, Adelaide, and, if required, from Perth at cheap excursion fares, which will be considerably lower than the holiday excursion rate. These cheap excursion fares will be on the liberal basis charged in connection with the opening of the Sydney bridge, whilst in the case of Perth a 50 per cent, reduction will be made.
