There was also a big exodus of city folk to Sumner, the hills and the sea being equally well patronised. The railway excursions to Arthur's Pass and to Little Kiver were largely availed of. The express trains also conveyed large numbers of holiday-makers. (PRESS ASSOCIATION' TrXEGRASI.) WELLINGTON', April 6 % Large crowds are in the city for the holiday.
