J TQ TBI! W>*TOB ojr vox. j-srss. r csiawcce to the aboye is w*<J deserved, and a strict inquiry as to blameable officials should follow. Let mc add mv growl. In company with a large number of trar-rikrs I -was at the "¥e_niiea station awaiting the first express from the South, timed to leave at" 5 p.m. "We left* it, I think," 6.*28. The Heat during the wait "waa excessive, ud there waa no seating accommodation. But where on s-ueh occasion* is the sense of the officials? X precoma the stationmaster of Temuka would be advised by telegraph of tfce delay south of Oamaru, and that it would be impossible for the train to reach Temuka within less than an hour of due t:'me.
