THAT RAILWAY PICNIC.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, — Judging from the ojiquiry contained in "Timothy's" letter, which appeared in yoxir issue of 25th inst., one would come to the conclusion that he has spent his life, up till now, miles away from any vailway ; or maybe ho has been used to a bi-weekly train service. Otherwise he must be aware that, with trains running six days in every week, it is impossible, as stated in. your footnote to the above letter, for railwayineu to have a day's outing on any day but Sunday. It .seems an extraordinary thing that such folk' as "Timothy" should rush into print in pained surprise because a few hardworking public servants decide to make use of the only available day for a little recreation on the Sab-' bath. Is it only the "worker" ,that should regard Sunday as a day of rest? I ask him, and can he make any suggestions whereby things could be arranged differently ? Hoping this will relieve "Timothy's" pain.— I am, etc., ONE 0' THEM.
