HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
To the Editor
Sm, —I beg leave to correct a paragraph which appeared in Thai sday evening’s Star, to the effect that the first railway locomotive constructed in the Province had just been completed by the promoters of the Port Chalmers and Dunedin Railway. This is not so ; it being a mere alteration of an English manufactured steam-crane engine to locomotive purposes, sufficient for hauling ballast-trucks and such like, daring construction only. _ The first, and as yet only locomotive entirely manufactured in New Zealand has been completed some time ago, and (if not already shipped) may be seen at the Iron Works of Messrs Sparrow and Co, Cumberland street, Dunedin, who have made it te the order of Mr Ashworth Crawshaw, railway contractor, to work aline which he is now constructing for the New Zealand Government in the North Island— i.e, the Manawaten. Palmam qui meruit feeat. Dunedin, 29th June.
