The proposal involves the sweep. ing away of Charing Cross Station and removing the work of this famous terminus-across-the river There the Kentish lines of the Southern Railway would terminate in a great new extension of Water- loo Station.

In place of the railway bridge at Charing Cross a road bridge and viaduct, starting from the foot of St. Martin's-lane, near the Nurse Cavell memorial, would be carried across to Waterloo-road.

BRIGHTON'S LOST BEAR.

FOUND TWENTY MILES FROM SCENE OF ITS ESCAPE.

BRIGHTON, April 23rd. Brighton's missing bear, which has been roaming over the downs exactly a month, has been definite ly located, on AT estate called Tilgate, at. Worth, near Crawley, more than 20 miles from Withdean Hall, where it escaped from private zoo.

Tracks believed to be those of a bear have been found at Tilgate by the head keeper, Mr. J. Cook, who said:

I was beating a plantation known as Black Scotch on Friday night with my son and another man. We heard a noise, and when we got to the side of the plantation we were surprised to seo the bear scramble over an 18- inch wire fence and make off quickly across an ont field. We followed it, but it entered Cherry. Tree Wood, and by the time we got there it was too dark, to ses and we abandoned the search.

I took the precaution of peg- ging out the bear's tracks across the ploughed land with twige, and yesterday I showed them to my employer, Mr. Nix, who is a He at once big-game hunter. classified them as hear tracks. The wood in which the bear is supposed to be at the moment will be thoroughly beaten.

NEW MOTOR-COACHES WITH

RESTAURANTS,

London has two motor-coach stations at which the big vehicles arrive and depart with the regu- larity of trains.

During the Easter holiday both of them worked at high pressure handling crowds of road travellers. At the Orange Coaches station at Brixton all records were broken in the number of journeys to the south coast resorts.

At the Lupus-street station, pear Vauxhall Bridge, S.W., which is the terminus of 10 of the motor coach companies in southern Eng land, more than 200 vehicles, many of them bound for places as far &way as Torquay, Weston-super- Mare, and Bath, left on Easter Eve and almost as many on Easter Sun- day.

·

Mr. L. M. Turnham, a manager of the Loudon Coastal Services Company, which own the station, said to a reporter!

More than 800 motor-coaches have left with holiday-makers since Thursday. Road travel is becoming more and more popular, We can load 150 coaches at once, so that people can get away as easily as from a railway station,

We are shortly starting a ser vice to the east coast resorts on. which mad dining coaches will be used, enabling travellers to have a meal on the way, "de Another motor-coach stationis being built near Russell square, and it is proposed to erect another near Floria Station.
