FAST TRAVELLING.

BY EXPRESS TRAIN.

(Received Wednesday, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, Tuesday.

The Great Western express, inaugurating an accelerated service, travelled from Swindon to Paddington, a distance of miles, in 72 minutes, and attained a speed of 83 miles an hour between Swindon and Didcot.

This is a record for the British Isles, and probably the world.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
