We are informed that there have been many bookings made already, for the O-iriatmas houday season, lor accommodation at the Hermitage, "iiicli s.lggests a lively tourist season, and t/iio wisdom of early booking. There are differences of opinion regarding the best season to visit the glacier ugiori.

It' is understood that for various reasons a considerable number of returned soldiers have not yet niado use of the orders for privilege railway tickets, ena'oling them to travel free for tt 2S days over the. railways of the dominion. However anxious tlia Defence Department and the railway authorities may be to maintain the privileges granted to soldiers it must be apparent that there shall be some finality in connection with tho issue of free railway passes. It has therefore been decided that all orderg must he •exchanged for railway tickets not later than tb© 2nd November next.

Owing to the very heavy demands that will be made upon the time of the railway staffs in all parts of the dominion from November onwards, soldiers entitled to claim the privilege tickets are requested to make application for them as early as possible.
