WAIRARAPA VISITORS
ROAD AND RAIL SERVICES
TAXED.
Road and rail services were heavily taxed over the weekend, when people of the Wairarapa paid their last visit to the Centennial Exhibition. The stationmaster, Mr H. G. Campbell, stated this morning that travellers made great use of .the railway services. On Saturday a special steam train which left Woodville with three cars passed through Masterton at 7.23 a.m., where a further 4 carriages were added, to make a full train. The usual afternoon mail train which normally has three to four cars also had four carriages added, all of which were comfortably filled. The railcars were heavily patronised. The road service of. Jenkins’s Motors was heavily booked. There was a heavy stream of traffic over the hill all day on Saturday, many people returning late that night.
