The great sheer-legs erected at Calliope Dock were put into use last week, when a 50-ton boiler for the Ngapuhi was lifted out of the Delphic and swung on to the wharf. The working capacity of the sheer-legs is 80 tons and the whole machinery worked smoothly and successfully. (1) Watching the preparations for the lift. (2) The Delphic steaming up to the Calliope Wharf. (3) The boiler emerging from the Delphic’s hold. (4) A view showing the size and arrangement of the tackle. (5) The lift accomplished. (6) The boiler being lowered to the wharf. GENERAL VIEW OF THE HAMILTON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S SPRING SHOW. The Show was held in the Town Hall, and was most successful, both financially and as regards the quantity and quality of the exhibits. (Note.—A number of views of the prize exhibits will be given next week in “Life in the Garden.”)
