THE CORONATION
POSITIONS ON ROUTE DIFFICV * TO PROCURE United Press Association By Electric Telperaph Copyright LONDON, September 2. A leading New Zealander who endeavoured to reserve seats on the route of the Coronation procession, told the Associated Press that not one seat was available at a reasonable price, though he offered three guineas for moderate positions. It appears that speculators snapped up all available positions as soon as the route was announced. Some even gambled on the route, and booked heavily before the announcement. It is understood that New Zealand has applied for a reserve to accommodate 1000, for which hundreds of applications have already been received. The official secretary is circularising applicants, stating that the anticipated demand considerably exceeds the supply, and urging that private reservations are desirable.
