Royal i^Agfe Mail COACH TO LEVIN. J. R STANSELIT... Proprietor. 'THE ONLY SERVICE that has I kept up continuous intercourse with the outer world. Distance from Foxton to Levin Station about 14 miles, the road going through the prettiest scenery in the district. During the nearly four years' service over the Wirokino Ferry, the mail has been delivered every day, in spito of floods. As showing THE ADVATAGE OP THIS ROUTE, even during the week of the late heavy flood, the mails and 27 passengers Were conveyed by boat and vehicles. The route by boat was both safe and an enjoyable change to thepasseDgers in fact like a picnic, and all who travelled expressed themselves well pleased with the arrangements made. On the breakdown of the railway service on Easter Monday, occasioned by the heavy flood, this Levin ! route was the only way open to pas- : sengers from Palmerston to Foxton. Five Foxton residents were driven in the Coach from Levin on Tuesday morning, 16th April, after having previously endeavoured to get over from Shannon. On Monday, the 15th April, the usual Coach was run through the flood to Levin as well as a vehicle in the afternoon to Kereru, with the Manager of the New Zealand Ess tates Company and the Secretary of the Wellington Freezing Company as passengers, who failed to succeed in crossing at the Shannon Ferry in the morning. Single Fares, 4s ; Return (available 1 month), 6s. The Coach leaves Whyte's Hotel, Foxton, every week day at 5.30 a.m., for Levin, catching the train to Wellington at 8.0 a.m. The Coach leaves Levin Hotel at 10.15 a.m. on the arrival of the train from Wellington, reaching Foxton at 12.15 p.m. Passengers by this route will reach Wellington by mid-day, and at a cost, of only 17s return.
