Launch Again Running to Mokanshan

Scheme for a Sleeping Car Service Next Year Launch service to Mokanshan was resumed on Thursday and it is pected that the customary sche-due can be adhered to, the launch making the trip in four hours as usual. The recent heavy rains have not affected the road bed of the railway line at all and the surface water covering the fields along the track has subsided.

Mr. C. L..G. Wayne, Traffic Manager of the Shanghai-Hangchow Railway, has a delightful plan for making the trip to Mokanshan more convenient and comfortable, namely to install a sleeping car service running from Shanghai to Konzenchiao. Then travellers could take an afternoon train, spend the night in the cars at Konzenchiao and start out bright and early in the morning. reaching Mokanshan in time for tiffin. Tf Mr. Wayne is able to put through this plan by next season it will materially add to the pleasure of the Mokanshan trip and should result in increased tourist travel.
