“One Big Eat.”
“ One Big Eat.”
“Railroad journeys in this country seem to me to be just one big eat,” said an American woman tourist, who has spent some weeks in the Dominion, and who, during her travels about the country, has used the railways to a considerable extent. Remarking on the number of stations on the various lines at which time was allowed for the procuring of refreshments, the visitor said: “People seem to jump out of trains at every opportunity for the purpose of joining the scramble for the refreshment rooms, and return to their cars laden with cups of tea and food, which appear to satisfy them for only a few miles. Then out they rush again.”—“Auckland Star.”
