A Pleased Client.

An unusual incident occurred on a recent run of one of Auckland's suburban trains. A passenger joined the train at Papakura and seated himself in a first-class car. When his ticket was checked and the guard found that he was holding a second-class ticket, the former drew the passenger's attention to the fact that he was in a first-class compartment. He willingly paid the difference, and remarked that he was only four days in the Dominion from England, and he had been told before he left England that the New Zealand guards were the most courteous in the world, and during the four days that he had been here he was quite satisfied they were. He said, also, that he had been in many parts of the world, and the guards in this country were the cleanest and best dressed he had ever seen.
