1 Sarching through a railway j timetable makes most people irritable. The railway table, like the polony, contains many good things, but the public prefer to have the one particular food (whether mental or alimentary) desired on a given occasion, not a hotchpotch of figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the side track at Waggonville, or the cross line to Neverinarcli. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmerston North are what, readers of The Horowhenua Chronicle need most, and for our readers' convenience those hV'res are now appended:—

As previously mentioned, there are several wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to be set down or taken tp. Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which ■ •ater for their towns, and may ihen work out, from the above iigures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palmerston from the 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•lob p.m. The extra Auckland oxpress commenced Ist October.
