Occasionally one hears of people who live all their lives in their native town and never leave it even for a day, but with such rapid travelling as is possible nowadays such cases are few and far between. Although not quite so remarkable, the case of a licensed porter at Lyttelton is interesting. In conversation with a representative of the Christchurch Press, he mentioned that on the last occasion that ho had visited Christchurch the present tramway system had not been installed, so that, although the city is separated from the port by a stretch of about seven miles, accomplished by train in 20 minutes, he had not yet seen the municipal electric cars.
