TRAIN STUCK AT KAIWARRA.
ENGINE'S "WORKS" GO WRONG. The "football train," which left Wellington, for Petone and Lower Hutt at 2.20 p.m. on Saturday, was delayed for forty minutes as the result of an engine breakdown. The train slowed down from its regulation pace soon after it set out, and entered Kaiwarra yard at.a more crawl. It then became, knowr that the tiabcock metal in a slide had become heated and run out, with the result that tho lefthand cylinder was disabled. A dreary wait followed, while mechanics unshinped connecting rods, and impatient footballers on the track and leaning out of windows, said uncomplimentary things about locomotives in general and the engine ahead of them in particular. The train ultimately got away from Kai-w.-m-a at 3.10 p.m., and reached Petonn at 3.30, instead of at the ordinary lime of 2.J2 p.m.
