H.M.S. New Zealand.

When the battleship New Zealand is in these waters early next tnortfh it will probably visit Wellington and Auckland and remain in each of these ports about one week. In this connection it is the intention of the Railway Department to run school and other excursion trams to the ports. School committees desirous of arranging for the school children under their control to visit port while the vessel is there should communicate with the District Traffic Manager (if Railways as promptly as possible, stating the I number of children likely to ! make the visit. School excursions will be restricted to j scholars and teachers, and the ; actual members of the school j committee in each case. It is j important that the School com- | mittees place themselves in communication promptly, so that arrangements may he brought '.veil forward at an early date, as there will be tfery little time in which to complete arrangements after tlie Battleship arrives in New Zealand waters. In addition to school excursions, holiday excursion tickets will he issued on suitable dates to enable the people to visit the ports while the battleship is there. Dates for issue of excursion fares will he advertised as soon as the movements of the ship have been ascertained.
