RAILWAY OPENING FETE.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIKES. Sir, —Seeing that the Wairorapa people have to generously invited many gentlemen from Wellington, also the members of both branches of the Legislature, to their banquet on Saturday, I feel that Wellington would be doing itself an honor by voting one-half of the cost of the members’ tickets (say about £7O), out of their celebration fund. If this cannot be done I feel certain there are gentlemen in this town who will have the greatest pleasure in subscribing toward tho Featherston fund. I regret to learn that the large holders of land in the Wairarapa have not yet subscribed in: any liberal spirit. I feel this is not owing to any niggardliness, but by an oversight, and will bo remedied at once.
I am able to state that the people of Wairarapa are making every effort to have the festival worthy of the occasion.—l am, &c.,
