For Railway Passengers Guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW TIME TABLE. The alterations and amendments to the railway time table have roduccMl many a citizen to the stato of John Jones, costermonger, some time of London, made illustrious by a song writer who sang of him thai, "since Jack Jones camo into a little bit of oof 'o dunno where e' are!" Tho experiences of varying tiifie 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 summjiry of train times, which will be printed in "The Chronicle" from day to day, until familiarity euros the present doubtfulness with which residents in various localities are afflicted.

Some of the above trahis will stop at intermediate stations, such cis Tokomaru, Oh.au, Manakau, Tβ Horo, etc.; but there are- soma which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the trains which do stop at their particular stations.

As previously nieiifcionod, thero are several wayside stations at which oiio or nioro of the above trains will stop wlionevor passengers desire to bo set down or taken up. Local residents niny nscertain which are tlio trains which enter for 'their towns, and may then work out, from the above figures, the time which tho .train will tnlco to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Pnlmerston, from the Nortli, at 12.40 p.m. and arrives at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland express leaves Thorndou at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Pnlmerston at 3.3f5 p.m.
