THE HERALD'S NEW MACHINERY. [from our own correspondent.] London, August 11. The magnificent new web-printing machinery, for the New Zealand Herald, which has now been in course of construction for nearly a year by Messrs. Hoe and Co., was tried for the first time on Thursday last, in the presence of Mr. A. G. Horton, one of the proprietors of the Herald, and a number of New Zealand colonists, including Mr. Walter Johnston (of Wellington), Mr. J. M. Butt, Mr. Allen, Mr. Pleydell, Mr. L. A. Nathan, nd others. The machine is of the newest type, and is the first one solely and entirely built in England which contains all the new patents of Hoo and Co. It has already been fully described; but it may be mentioned that at the trial run a large four-page sheet was worked off easily at the rate of 25,000 copie« per hour, whilst a smaller eightpage paper was run off at the same speed. A large eight-page sheet was then tried, and afterwards a sixteen sheet. The trial was pronounced by expert engineers to bo one of the most successful ever witnessed at the works. This is the second machine built by the same makers for the i New Zealand Herald.
