A RECORD. — That well-known engine-
driver, Mr Beverley, who holds nearly all the
records on the Western road, paid his first
visit to Cobar in the special that arrived last
Friday. As usual he put up a record, tak-
ing the train from Nyngan to Cobar in 2¼
hours. Stoppings were made at Hermidale,
Mount Boppy, and Meryula, of nearly 10
minutes each. So that while travelling the
train must have been running 10 miles per
hour. And yet it takes over four hours in the
ordinary mail!
