On the* long -distance lines' j to Miramar, however, ohd M&nd Bay, , it is felt that residents in the feinofer suburbs are at a disadvantage 1 , as the' care are often filled with shoft-distance > travellers, Iri tho interests (j( Mifafnai' residents, the Tramway Board was recently asked" to put on special eate for 1 Miramar and Seatotm, leaving Lambtoh.

Tlie sttburbail train ee"rvic& is still tho subject of much dissatisfaction among! residents' of Potone and Lower H*utt. Since the fecent deputation waited upon the general trta-nager 1 , .there ha« be«ti no itoproVemefit noticeable, eicfipfi that passengers are not worried for ticket* sd much, oft the short journey. Residents' are indignant that n« improVefilefit iia^ been made in the tiffl«-tabl© ift the di' reclloft 6f eliminating the long stops at the intermediate stations.

A brief discussion took place at the meeting o-f the College Governors to-day respecting the possibility of providing ltmeh for all the day scholars attending the Boys' College. At present "day boys'' who wish to do so can get lunch tit the college quarters, but th& arrange* Went is ti private one between the masters and those who may get their lunch there.
