Between 400 iml 500 persons were left behind at the racecourse under the false impression j tJiat a train would call for them. They I subsequently caught a train at Awapuni for Pnlme.rston where Sir James Carroll interviewed th** and persuaded him to attach some car•iages to the midnight train by which the belated passengers reached their lestination. The trouble was owing to the public not knowing that the trains would not stop at the racecourse. A railway officer should he in charge at :lie racecourse to give information and ;eo that such bungling does not occtTt '.gain.
