The railway table, like the polony, contains many good things, but the public prefer to have the one particular fooq (whether mental or - >.I_lmc i > tary desired on a given bcca^Kv , -' *jot * hotchpotch o£ figurep -oiiC ; the branch line of Toko, the aid* track at Waggonville, or the cross line to Nevermarch.

Some of the above trains will stop at intermediate stations, such as Tokomaru, Ohau, Manakau, Te Horo, etc.; but there ',re pome which do not. Eesidents should acquaint themselves with the trains which do stop at their particular stations.
