Orlando was thrown open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m., yesterday, and a large number of people took advantage of the opportunity to visit the flagship. There is a first-class brass band on board, and a great many people visit the wharf in the evening to listen to the music discoursed. The vessel is a great attraction to the public, and as she lies at the wharf the ' operations of those on board are closely scrutinised by a crowd of onlookers. The Timaru Harbour Board's dredge No. 404 arrived yesterday morning, from Timaru for docking. The craft looks anything but an inviting one in which to make ' the trip from England to this colony, and ' her appearance is not improved by her want of paint. She will no doubt look better ' on coming out of dock. Like all dredges 1 of her class she is a mass of machinery. The dock was being prepared for her and she will be floated in to-day.
