NEW AUSTRALIAN SPEED TRAIN
MAXIMUM REACHED OF 69:26 M. P. H
Sydney, N.S.W.
THE HONGKONG TELE
The New South Coast Express fer the Sydney-Nowra servico was given a trial run from Sydney to Mt. Vietoria as the Caves Express recently. Despite an overload of 15 tonu, it reduced the ordinary schedule of 42 minutes to Penrith by two minutes three seconds, and reached a maximum speed of 69.25 miles an hour over South Creek viaduct..
The climb from Emu Plains to Valley Heights, which has an verage grade of 1 in 60, proved no detorrent to speed, the average over this section being 10 miles an hour. From Valley Heights (1,055 feet above sea level) to Kn- toomba 3,336 feet) the gradients are very steep. but the express took the worst grade over the mountains of 1 in 31-neur Fal- con bridge at a speed of 24 miles an hour. From Katoomba, once the Blackheath ridge la negotia- ed, there is a fall to Mount Vic- toria, and the average speed for this lap rose to 44 miles an hour. The total distance of 75 miles was covered in two hours 25 minutes
-the fastest steam mountain climbing train in the world.
six
The new train comprises luxurious carriages, which will accommodate 212 passengers-72 first class and 140 second class, Queensland cedar has been used for the external construction of the carriages. The fittings are of crow's foot clm and cudgerie in the first-class compartments and of silky oak and Queensland maple in the second-class.
The uphol- stery is of leather and moquette, Corridor carriages are flanked by senta for two, with a table to every four passengers. The train is drawn by the powerful super- heated €36 engine.-Reuter.
LAME BUT GAME
AMAZING FOOTBALL
MATCH
Madrid.
A football match has just been played at Oviedo in which:
The players were lame, The goal-keepers had no arms, The referee and the linesmen were all deaf and dumb.
Although there were numerous protests during the match, the referee and lineamon were oblivi- ous of the shouts of the crowd and refused to discuss
any of their decisions.
The match, which was well at- tended, was held to procure funds for the relief of unemployment.
One team, called the "Wooden Legs" bent the other. named the "Do hurry up" team by six goals to two.-Reuter.

"If we have to land, I should think that from a height of 3,000 ft. we ought to be able to pick out a suitable spot, and our landing skis and air brakes' ought to make A landing easy,"
Accompanying the expedition as a guest will be Sir Hubert Wilkins, the famous British explorer who last year unsuccessfully attempted to reach the North Pole in a aub- marine.
When he returns, Sir Hubert in- tends to set to work on plans for another submarine expedition to the Arctic-Reuter.
