CORRESPONDENCE,

Tb« Railway Tlmo-TaWe.

(To the Editor),

Sib, —I am not fond of writing to the news papers, but your morning contemporary in Saturday's ißsue wont so much out of its way te defend the present stupid railway time-tablo, and in doing so made such palpable misrepresentations, besides being exceedingly discourteous to "A Victim " of the same time-tuble, that I feel impelled to contradict some of its statements. The in consistency of the article v apparent on its face to nnyono acquainted with the facts, but I write for tho bonofit of those not so acquainted. The " Herald " would have us believe that the alteration of the G p.m. train to Otahuhu to 6.20 p.m. was made " at the request of a large number of persons who desire to obtain country rosidcnceß &t Otahuhu and other districts." Will tho "Herald" inform us how many persons stated to tho railway authorities that they desired to obtain country residencies at Otahuhu, and requested the above alteration to enable them to do so 1 It is too palpably absurd. I have reason to be very greatly desirous of seeing people come to reside at Otahuhu, but I'm quite certain the above alteration will not induce people to come. I frequently travel by train from Ota huhu, and am intimately acquainted with many who travel every day, but after diligent inquiry I cannot find a single person who favours the now time table. On the contrary, there is general complaint and indignation expressed, and, -1 believe, tho people of Papatoitoi, One hunga, and other places, are just as loud in thair complaints. The authorities place Otahuhu within their list of suburban stations; and yet (though it is only 8J miles from town) after the 8.42 train in the morning there is no train reaching Auck land until 4.5 in tho afternoon. Again, there is no train to Otahuhu from Auckland between the hours of 11.30 in the morning and 4.15 in the afternoon, so that it is im possible for people to spend a half-day in town. They must spend a whole day or none. It is well-known that the generality of business men, the class who could and would go to reside in the bracing air of Otahuhu, if trains were convenient, need to reach their offices or places of busi ness at 9 o'clock in the morning, and to leave them about 5 o'clock in the evening; yet by our absurd tiine-tablo they aro reduced to the necessity of leaving Otahuhu at 0.50 a.m., and remaining in Auckland till 6.20 p.m., so that more than 13 hours elapse from their leaving homo till their return, and two of these are wasted on the railway, owing to the miserable delay of shunting, 4c. Is this tho inducement the •• Herald " says is offered by the new time table for people to reside nt Otahv.hu ? Mr Hudson is a new man, and deserves credit for-trying to improve upon tho'sleepy system of. the previous management; but he has scarcely realised yot tho needs of tho Auckland district, and I'm afraid, judging partly from the article in your contempor ary, that he has very bad advisors. No one denies that if people travel by a goods train they may expect shunting and delays ; but we have a right to expect better treatment when we travel by the 6.20 train, which is a passenger train. Again, why doea not that train, if it must shunt at Fisher's, de li v«r its weary and already late paßsongerg at Otahuhu station (less than a mile further on), and then shunt on its way back to town, instead of, as at present, keeping them so long waiting at Fisher's ? Theatre goen (if there could bo by such a train) would arrive in town no later. One lost question: Why did the authorities on Saturday, the 15th ultimo, make passen gers for Otahuhu and Onehunga by tho 2 p.m. train from town wait at EUerslie until the 6.20 p.m. train came along, with the alternative of making tho rest of the journey on foot ? The 2 p.m. train was not in the list of trains cancelled, and the pas sengers reasonably enough inferred that it was to complete its journey as usual, and had do intimation to the contrary until they were-bundled out at Ellerslie. The above are only a few of the specimenswhich could bo given of the management tho " Herald " seoma so anxious to champion. When the railway is"in the hands of a non-political local board of practical men they will see at once how great a traffic would bo created from Otahuhu by making trains convenient. —I am, etc., Another Otaiiuhu Victim. Otahuhu, December 1, ISS4.

Sir, —The " Herald," in endeavouring to be severe upon " Victim," exposes its own weakness re the case. The majority of our business men feel that the railway authori ties are showing an utter disregard to their convenience, and acting a suicidal policy, throwing away a fine opportunity of help ing to make Otahuhu a rising and pros perous suburb. The mismanagement of our railways to a great extent has kept Ota huhu a grazing village; while for years its salubrity, its picturesquencss, and ite prox imity to two sea beaches, have made a number of wealthy peoplo anxious to become residents ; butthe railway has been, as I have said before, a bar. What is wanted is a train to arrive in Auckland at about 9 a.m., a mid-day train from Auckland, and the lato train from at 5.15 p.m. from Auckland. Surely we are not asking too much. For six years I .have walked1 nearly every day from Penrose. Many of our residents keep their Own traps, but would use the railway If the time-tables were suitable. .Our new manager of railways seems a man of the right sort, and trusting he will find a way to help us^—l remain, _c, W.

(To the Editor),

Sir,—l. have lived in Otahuhu for many years, and am much interested in the pros : perity of the district. I feel sure that if the new time-table be. adhered to, it will -not advance Otahuhu, but, on the contrary, will be tho means of pre venting instead of inducing people to come and reside here. ' If the railway authorities could arrange a time-table so that men of business residing here could reach their work in Auckland at 9 in the morning, and leave again at 5 in the even ing, and a train leave Otahuhu for Auck land about 12 (boob) so as to enablo people tosptfnd a half day in town, if this could be arranged, I am convinced that the popu lation of Otahuhu would be at least doubled before tho end of another year.—l am, &c., ■ . Senex. ■

FRENCH LITERARY SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

TnK Frencli Literary Society's quarterly concert took Dlace in the V.M.C.A. rooms on Saturday evening, and in point of ex cellence proved to be quite equal—possibly superior—to those which have preceded it. As übuol, there was a crowded attendance —admission, of course, beinw J)y invita tion ticket. Mr C. de L'Bau (Presi dent) occupied the chair,, and opened the proceedings with a, brief address. Tho programme included a choice selection of songs, varied by some capital instru mental and each and every item ■was matted by successful execution. Miss Richardson sang " Let Me Dream Again " : with nice effect, and Mr Knos's sonorous bass voice was heard to great advantage in EmanueFsthriUinglydcscriptivesong, "The Desert.". Mr J. Edwards gavo " The Last Watch" very Acceptably, and Mrs Gold stein's singing of the well-known song "Waiting" was marked by much taste. Mr J, Hanna brought down the " houso " by his rendering of Tosti's "Good Com pany," and in response to a well earned encore he gave with equal Buccees the pathetic,- appealing song, "Betray Mo Not," from "The Hermit's Bell." Mrs J, M. Geddis- contributed Claribel's " We'd Better Bide a Wee" with nice ex pression; Mies Culpan sang "Laddie" (Pinsuti) very pleasingly indeed, and Mr S.\ R. Keesing scored a decided "hit"With his rendering- of "My Love for Thor." The instrumental moiceanx, consisting entirely of pianoforte pieces, were very skilfully executed. Mrs MchoN son opened the concert proper with a characteristic nocturne by Chopin, which W33 played con amove, and in the second part of the programme she manifested great delicacy, of touch by her interpretation of a piece entitled "Dans les Bois." Misses Culpan' and Main played as a duet Yon Suppd's "Poet and Ptasant" with -considerable facility and , taste, while "Miss Keturah Campbell secured a round of plaudits for her rendering of " The Wearing of tho Green " with varia tions. Miss Clarice Brabazon played Willie Pape's "Irish Diamonds " with her well-known skill and finish, and a younger brother, Master Arthur Brabazon, dis played equally remarkable musical profi ciency; in bis execution of the over ture to. "Zampa" At tho close of the concert the Chairman ■ made a graceful acknowledgment on behalf of the Society to the ladies and gentlemen who had given such able'assistance. A word of praise is also .doe to the worthy Secretary Villeyal). upon whom the work of organis ing ttie.. concerts entirely devolves. The high standard which they have maintain*^ from the boginning displays' his own '^P taste and correct judgment. " n,
