Testa of the samples of Otago cement submitted 0 me for experiment gave an average tensile breakng strain of 10701b on 2% squaro inches 14 clays after nixing. Briquettas were gauged with fresh water, illowed to set 24 hours, and immersed in salt water or six days; the remaining seven days they were ixposed to the air. F. W. Marchant, A.M. Inst. C.E., Resident Engineer Timaru Harbour Board. Public Works Department, Engineer-in-Chief'a Office, Wellington, November 12,1886. lames M'Donnld, Esq., Lime Merchant, &c.,! Dunedin. With reference to the particulars of the tests of pour hydraulic limes and cements sent you on the Fth ult., the four samples of cement marked A, B, C, md D last received are all hydraulic cement, setting rapidly under water without blowing or showing any )ther defects. With the exception of two of the JJ quality, al ltho seven days' tests for strength come >ver the Government specification for colonial jement, and the average of the B sample lis considerably above the strength we specify for English sement. I have no doubt you are now on the way to produce a cement ;equal all round to 'the imported article. All that is wanted is uniformity of quality. W. N. Blair. [Note.—The samples submitted to Mr Blair were four different compositions for the purpose of testing, and we are now manufacturing from the particular composition which gave the best results.— J. M'D.j Dunedin, April 2S, 1887. To J. M'Donald, Esq., Cement Manufacturer. Sir,—Having been present at the triala of your cement at the stores in Vogel streeta short timesince, 1 was induced to give instructions for it to be used at the new buildings now in course of erection for the Daily Times and Witness Company, Dowliug and Macandrew streets. I have now much pleasure in reporting that it has given me entire satisfaction, and I shall have no hesitation in recommending it to any person requiring cement. I consider ib to be as good as any cement 1 have used during a period of 25 years in Dunedin. So long as j-ou make an article of the quality now being supplied to my present work I shall use no other, feeling it a duty to support the colonial-made cement when the quality is equal to and the price no more than the imported article.—l am, &c, Hy. F. Hardy, Architect. DunediD, May 2, 1887. This is to certify that I have examined Mr M'Donald's Portland Cement, manufactured in Dunedin, both as to samples submitted and as to the process of manufacture, and have to report as follows :— 1. Various samples during thelast six months have been submitttd to me and I have had them thoroughly tested for the following purposes :—For the use of construction as mortar, lor compounding plaster, and for mixing in with concrete; and I have always found this Cement for these purposes quite equal to the bsst that I have known imported. 2.JL went over the factory where the Cement is made, and found that the various raw materials used were of the proper sort and very carefully chosen; also, that the process used was in every way suitable to production of a nrst-class article in large quantities. In conclusion, I have to state that so"well satisfied aai I of the quality of this Cement that 1 consider it advisable to use it in placa of the imported brands, not only on account of its general quality, but because it is possible to get it fresh, and therefore in better condition for use. Frank W. Petre, Engineer and Architect, Sunedin and Christchurcb. „ „ Dunedin, 2nd May 1887. Mr James M-Douald, Cement Manufacturer, Sir,—For some time past I have been making test of Portland Cement of various brands, and you will be glad to hear that your Cement in every "case has stood the highest; also, that it exceeds the Government test of 3001b to an inch.—Yours faithfully Chas.
