Sir,-Your article on poetry in Wellington trams brings back many memories of lonely night rides with only those verses for company. There are, as you imply, three trams carrying these poems. For those ‘not acquainted with the verses, they will be found in trams bearing numbers between 220 and 230, the others besides 225 being almost certainly 224 and 226. These three were the last completed before the famous "Fiducia", numbers 227 to 231 following later.. The third poem is, as you suggest, by Arthur Adams, but its name escapes me ‘also. I fancy it ends ". . . and only Tararua’s peaks remember yesterday."
