EXCURSION RATES TO END TO-MORROW
RAILWAYS STILL CROWDED THE HOMEWARD RUSH I To-morrow the last excursion tickets will be issued and consequently the j staff of the railway booking office is busy. i For the next few days the rash of j passengers coming home or going home |is not expected to ease off. Last evening three crowded expresses left for : the Sotuh and every seat on the Limited i has been booked up for the remainder of the week. The inward trains this morning were comfortably filled and large crowds wetn out on the Thames, Rotorua and Whangarei expresses. Last evening every seat was taken on the three Southbound expresses and extra, accommodation had to be provided, the Limited departing without an empty seat. There were 16 cars on the 7.45 p.m. express and IS ears on the i 8.40. Although most people are making for their homes there are still large : numbers of visitors arriving in the j city, and the hotels are still crowded. I Meanwhile the railway officials, to whom the Christmas and New Year : season is something of a nightmare, ! are wearing that tired feeling.
