For Railway Passengers Guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW TIME TABLE. The alterations and amendments to the railway time table have reduced many a citizen to the stato of John Jones, costermonger, some time of London, made illustrious by a song writer who sang of him that "since Jack Jones came into a little bit of oof 'e dunno where e' are!" The "experiences of varying time tables during the past three or four months have left dubious impressions in the minds of citizens, and quite a number have missed their passages through confusing last month's times with those of tho present. No doubt there will be general appreciation felt for tho subjoined summary of train times, which will be printed in "The Chronicle" from day to day, until familiarity cures the present doubtfulness with which residents in various localities are afflicted.

Some of the above trains will stop at intermediate stations, sncJi ns Tokomaru, Olian, Manakau, To Iloro, etc.; but there aro some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the trains which do stop at their particular stations.

As previously mentioned, thero are several wayside stations at which one or more of tlie above trains will stop when ever passengers desire to bo set down or taken up. Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which cater for their towns, and. may then work out, from the above figures, the time wliich the .train will tako to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches ' Palmerstom, from the North, at 12.40 p.m. and arrival at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland oxpress leaves Thnrndon at 12.15 p.m. and readies Palmerston at 3.35 p.m.
