Railway Excursions.

(To tho Editor.)

Sm,—Pleaso allow mo, through your widly circulated pap.r, to make a few remarks, concerning the way the Now Zea land Hailway Department conducts its faw and far between excursions. In the first place.for whose enjoyment and pleasure are excursions given ? Is it for that class of people who make evory day of their lives a semi-holiday 1 those who follow no parti cular work, but who live by their means? or is it for thoso hard-working clerks and husiness men who find a ploasuro in leaving tho. city and its work behind them and on joyingthomeelves in thecountry ? It is a well hnown fact that it is only on certain days tho last-named class con avail themselvoa of the pleasure, which an excursion otters to them. Tho action of tho Hailway Department oil Novombor 24 would go to show that it is for tho former claes of people that excursions aro plannod and carried out. They sond a special train up to Hamilton on that day, knowing that only thoso who had nothing to do could avail themselves of tho offor. Tho result is as might bo oxpected—tho old, old story—badly patronised ; and I think the authorities must have been very blind if they did not sco that result sticking out. Why not pick a day whon all classes aro free to enjoy themselves ? If tho Kail way Department want their excursions to be patronised, they will have to givo more attention and caro to their proceedings. Lot thorn considor tho timo, placo, and chargo, and I havo no doubt they will discovor the reason of their non-success. On Christmas holidays they will have a grand opportunity of carrying into practico that which thoy havo hithorto failod to carry out. Let them run an early train on Christmas or Boxing ..morning as far as Hamilton, and issue much cheaper return tickots than they hitherto havo done. They could arrango that a special train leavo Hamilton Sunday afternoon, giving tho pleasure-seekers nearly two full days admir ing the beauty of tho Waikato. If this was carriod out in a proper mannor I think that there would bo no more complaints about badly-patronised excursions, and until tho proper authorities can rco thoir mistake in that particular direction, there will be com plaints—coinplaintß for which thoy may thank their own shortsightedness in not fooing farther than their own pride and self conceit will allow thorn.— Hoping that I havo not mado too froo with your spaco, I am, etc , A Lover of Jcntiue.

TheNewZcalandSugarCo., undeterred by by previous failure, are again strongly urging the Harbour Board to romovo the silt from their wharf at Chelsea. In a lottor received by the Board today, the Company freely admit that they havo no legal right by which their application could be enforced, "but assuming that it is the especial di;ty of tho Harbour Board to provide convenient accommodation for carrying on tho trade of the port, 'they fail to see that the whan at Cholsea is not, equally with tho other public wharves in the harbour, entitled to tho consideration of the Harbour Board to havo a dopth of water maintained suit ablo for tho trade carried on there." If any difference existed it was in their favour, as they had built and now maintained it, while tho Harbour Board derived the revenue, and its accommodation was open to tho public. The Company remark further: " When it was first contemplated by gentle men in Now South Wales and Victoria to erect sugar refining works in Now Zealand it was proposed to do so at Wollington, and it was only after strenuous ofl'orts on tho part of tho Auckland promoters of this Coin-' pany that the sito for tho works was ulti mately chosen at Chelsea." This represen tation has had due weight, for tho Board this afternoon decided to grant tho Com pany's request.

It jb a Kussian romance of wonderful power, merit, ingenuity, sparkle, and originality. The vari ous Btirring and dramatic episodes take place In a country region whero all the curious old Muscovite customs still prevail, and thOße cus toms are so utilised as to lend the delicious novel an additional oharm. Tho plot is de veloped with consummate skill, and ita sim plicity renders it ea»y of comprehension, while the oharactor sketching ia natural and effective, Maliß9of's pasalon for that innocent but deter mined young creature, Mam'zello Eugenic, and his noble behaviour on discovering that Bhe prefers Nloholas Martof, are thrillingly des orlbed. Eugenic herself is a heroine worthy of the most cordial admiration, and the intensity with which she and Markof love each other ie most effectively brought out. "Mam'zellk Kuoicme" cannot fall to creato quite a pro found sensation, and leap at a bound into vast and permanont popularity. It is a novel that will delight old and young alike, and all who can enjoy a really suporb romance should rood It. A UCKLAND CHORAL SOCIETY. Practice of " The Meßsiah" THIS EVENING, at half-past 7.
