Dunedin And South Seas Exhibition.

The Dunedin “Evening Star” comments as follows:—

“The smooth working of the passenger traffic at the Dunedin Railway Station during the Exhibition pressure is often commented on by the public. Though all the main trains, both inward and outward, are usually long and full, the traffic is always under control, enabling passengers to come and go with no greater inconvenience than is absolutely unavoidable when crowds have to be handled, and the recent speeding up of the trains has proved to be quite possible, thanks to the skill of the drivers and guards and the willingness of the men in other grades. The public see these results and marvel, but guess that a fine spirit of co-operation must inspire all ranks of the service. A prominent official, spoken to about the matter this morning, confirms that guess. “I am delighted,” he said, “at the way our men are working. We have had to take on casuals and to bring in men from other districts, and the readiness with of great satisfaction. The drivers, the guards, the clerks, the platform hands—all on the job—are evidently animated by a high sense of duty, and cager to do their very best on the system that has been devised by the officers in charge. Don't forget also the doings of the staff at Oamaru. Five expresses per day are now running through that station, and to us who know what has to be done the working of the trains there is a wonder. Even the table-maids at the dining rooms at Oamaru share the honour, for it must be a bit of a task to keep the tables going there in the style that all appreciate for five dinners a day.”
