THE MAIN TRUNK.

TOURIST'S SUGGESTION. [THE Serrice.] WELLINGTON, January 7. "Your railway people are to be congratulated upon the daylight express between Auckland and Wellington," remarked a toilrist arriving in Wellington. "The whole trip is full of varied interest, but it could be made much more attractive to both visitors and residents of New Zealand, I venture to think, by supplying passengers with a little booklet describing the chief features of the country passed through. It would be interesting, for instance, to know the names of the rivers crossed and of the mountains and forests seen. Then, too, a word might be said about the tunnels and viaducts, when to look out for them, their length, etc. Particulars like these in n handy map form would make the journey of much greater interest. ''Several times I appealed for information to my fellow-passengers, but their ignorance seemed to be on a par with mine. All that anyone knew anything about was the Spiral, information about which _is supplied in the railway guide. This is good as far as it goes, but why not go further?"
