The Railway Department has been losing a large amount of revenue in its dining-rooms since the inception of the "Limited" express service between Wellington and Auckland. At Marton Junction, writes the travelling reporter of the "Wanganui Herald," only about half the number of people are having meals, compared with the number at this time last year'. Xight travelling has eliminated, to a' large extent, the eating and drinking habit so prevalent on the "Main Trunk at one time, and maybe in that direction some good is being done, in that scores of people with weak, digestive organs, but who cannot resist the tinkle of the tea bell as the train rushes into the different*stations where tea is served, are at least giving their stomachs a rest from over-feeding.
