For Railway Passengers Guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW TIME TABLE.

The alterations and amendments to the railway time table have reduced many a citizen to tho stato of John Jones, costermongor, somo time of London, made illustrious by a song writer who sang of him that "since Jack Jones oamo into a littlebit of oof 'e dunno where o' arc!" Tho experiences of varying . time tables during tho past three or fourmonths havo left dubious impressions in the minds of citizens, and quito a number have missed their passages through confusing last month's times with those of tho present. No doubt there will be general appreciation felt for tho subjoined summary of train times, which will be printed in "Tho Chronicle" from day to day, until familiarity euros the present doubtfulness with which residents in various localities aro afflicted. \

Some of the .above, .trains will stop at intermediate stations, such as Tokomaru, Oha.ii, Manakau, Te Horo, etc.; but there aro some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the trains which do stop at their particular stations.

As previously ineiiifcionod, there ai'o several wayside stations at which one or more of tho above trains will stop whenever passengers dosii'o to bo set down or taken up. Local residents mny ascertain which are tho trains which cater for their towns, and may then work out, from tlio above figures, tho time which the .train will take to travel from tho station immediately preceding.
