Sunday Running of Kelburn Trains. Tho Wellington Chamber oC Comim'i'fc litis received a letter from tho Kelburno and Karorl Tramway Co., Ltd., stilling' that tho directors have decided that they cannot boo their way to-accodb to tho request of llic chamber, that trains be run on Sunday mornings. Some considerable timo ago, all-, day running on Sundays was tried. The result was a considerable loss and tho position is oven worso now. Indeed, states the company, the present half-day running is only dono ' for tho • convenience of the public, as it remains a losing business. Laugh" On Tho Judge. The laugh was on Mr. Justice Ostler in tho Supreme Court yesterday after-, noon, and his Honour cheerfully'acknowledged it. When Mr. W. 13.-Leiccs-tcr, counsel for the defendant, was conducting his examination of a. witness he had called, Mr. Jusjtice Ostler suggested' that the witness, an alert young man, did 9 not look as though he troubled much about hotels. But the answer to the question with which Mr. Leicester, no doubt fully appreciating the position, followed up his Honour's observation came as a surprise. "Did you get to■ tho hotel'in time to have a drink?" asked Mr. Leicester. "I did, sir,'"' 'replied the witness. His Honour laughed with the others, and then added: "Well, I don't think he makes much of a habit of it." This assumption seemed to be nearer the mark, for tho witness, in reply to another question, said ho had only ono drink at the hotel. ■ • ' . ■
