For Railway Passengers Guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW TIME TABLE.

Some of tlie above .trains will stop at intermediate stations, such aa Tokomaru, Ohau, Manakau, To Horo, etc.; but there aro some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the train* which do stop at their particular stations.

The alterations and amendment to the railway time table have reduced many a citizen to the state of John Jones, costermonger, some time of London, made illustrious by a song writer who sang of him thali "since Jack Jones came into, a iittla bit of oof 'e dunno where e' are!" Tho experienced of varying time . tables during the past three or four months have left dubious impressions in the minds of citizens, and quito a number have missed their passages through confusing last month's times with those of the present. No doubt there will be general appreciation felt for the 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.

As previously mentioned, there .... are several wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whomever passen- > i gers 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 which the train will talco to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palmerstooi, from tlie North, at • 12.40 p.m. and arrives at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland express leaves Thorndon at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Palmerston at 3.35 p.m.
