Guelph and Goderich Ry.—The first section of this line from Guelph to Goderich, Ont., viz., from Guelph to Elmira, has been opened for traffic. The construction at the Goderich end is being gone on with, but owing to the difficulties met with at Goderich, has been slow. A considerable area of land is to be reclaimed at Goderich for dock construction and yard accommodation. A contract for this reclamation work is reported to have been let.

The branch line from Linwood will run through the townships of Wellesley, Mornington and Elma, and will terminate at Listowel. There will be a station at Listowel and one at Dorking, about midway. Construction will be light, there being no cutting of a greater depth than 5 ft., and no bridges; and only two curves, one of 4° and one of 2°. A press report states that a contract with B. Gibson, Toronto, for the construction of the line was signed in Guelph, July 25. (July pg. 391).
