THE DAYLIGHT EXPRESS

FIRST RUN ON MONDAY

WILL SATISFY TOURISTS,

The' daylight express, under the increased facilities offered to the public by the New Zealand Government Railways, will make its first run on Monday. The innovation is made at a happy juncture as far as the travelling public are concerned, as it will be welcomed by the thousands of North Island people who Will tr&Vel to and from the Dunedin Exhibition, ahd it should prove an at^tractive means of seeing the King Country, hitherto passed! through in twilight or early morning; For these reosons it will appeal to visitors, to New Zealand. The "daylight Limited" will run daily, except Sundays, leaving Wellington at 7.65 a.m., and arriving at Auckland at 11.1 p.m., and leaving Auckland at 7.53 a.m. and arriving at Wellington at 11.10 p.m. The daylight Limited will make one more stop than the night Limited, at Te Kniti. The ordinary express which now leaves Wellington at 12.45 p.m. will leave at 2 p.m., though arriving at Auckland at the same hour as at present, and the Auckland-Wellington express will arrive at 12.38 p.m., instead of 1.50 p.m., thus giving passengers timo for lunch in each case. The improvements in vhe time-table are not being effected by greater mileage speed, but by adjustments in the running of the expresses and other trains, and also by the limitai tion of the express loads, which enable better time to be made on slow upgrades. The HawkeS Bay-Palmerston North trains have also been given a 1 faster time-table, and will connect with the new Limitpd. '
