BY RAILWAY TO CANTON
A Most Pleasant Mode
Of
Travel
It was not so long ago that the trip to Canton by steamer was pre- terred to the trip by traii for the simple reason that most people re- garded the latter as a very tedious and trying mode of travel. All th's, however, is a thing of the past, for what with the improve- ments made in the time tables re- cently, the trip by train can now be completed in the astonishingly quick time of two-and-three
quarter hours and the Railway now enjoys the popularity it de- serves. Yesterday the manaze- ment of the Railway invited a number of guests to

"Punctually at 8.38 am, we left Kowloon. Mr. R. D. Walker, Chief Engineer and manager of the Bri- tish Section saw the train off and the guests were accommodated in the excellent inspection car. The train was scheduled to arrive at Canton at 11.28 Am. and she steamed into the Station just on time, completing the journey in just ten minutes under three hours We were accompanied on the trip by the following officials of the British Section: Mr. J. Smith, Assistant Chief Engineer, Mr. A. E. Perry, Traffic Manager and Mr. A. J. C. Taylor, Chief Accountant.
VAST IMPROVEMENT The permanent way is in ex- cellent order and there la a mark- ed improvement in this direction on the Chinese Section. We un- derstand that during the last few months, due to more enterprising efforts, trafic receipts in the Canton-Kowloon Rallway have considerably increased in spite of the trade depression.
"It is impossible at the present juncture to gauge the importance of this railway sa with the open- ing of the Canton-Hankow Rall way, in the not very far distant future, a very large increase of trafic, both passengers and goods, should be expected, and further- more it is hoped that satisfactory arrangements will be made for the linking of the Kowloon-Canton with the Canton-Hankow ways.
