THE EXCURSION SEASON-SOUTHEND.

The favourable change in the weather has given quite
an impetus to the excursion traffic on the various lines of
railway. Paris and back is a great attraction, but the
shorter distances of course secure the patronage of the
million. The South-Western carry immense num-
bers to Richmond, and Hampton-court, the Great
Western conveys nearly the whole of Cockneydom
to Windsor, but amongst the most attractive
runs out and home, Lone certainly is more
charming than the trip to Southend, via the London and
Tilbury Railway. From the moment the train leaves the
station the journey is ono continued and unbroken line of
beautiful rural scenery until the excursionist arrive
within a few miles or so of his destination, when wood-
, laud and meadows give place to marine views, with ves-
sels of the Royal Navy at anchor. Southend is a
very pretty place, and taken in conjunction with
its extraordinary long pier for promenade, it is just the
place to go to for relaxation and pleasure. The thousands
that now visit the place are all very carefully looked after
by Mr. Louth, the traffic manager, through whose perfect
arrangements the trains are despatched with commend-
able regularity. Owing to his judicious management no
confusion is ever occasioned, rnd this fact alone is quite
sufficient to induce people to go to Southend instead of
other places, where the struggle for seats for the return
journey is a perfect disgrace.
