We can understand that the past fen days have been a trying time for jhe management of the Wellington and Masterton Bailway, and we have forborne to ask' jvhy tfye'lme-tahle, appears to have been turned upside .dowa in a most incomprehensible manner, hrjjt the department might at least •have let the public jja jkjg district know the time of' the aclveht'aiict /Jeparture of the train's, as' near as tjiey eaij estimate it. Of late, people have laughed, i,o see 'busses running to •the station to meet imaginary trains,
and All Pools' Day has had a somewhat long reign amongst Wairarapa travellers on the line. We now learn from the Post that the Wairarapa train is to leave Wellington half an hour late, because it has to travel slowly over a portion of the line. We met with nothing more extraordinary than this when we, a few years ago, perused " Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
