Here are a few of the leading pictorial features' in this week's" "Graphic." The number is one of the most attractive and interesting that has appeared for some time. Specialinterest attaches to'the photogravures ot the memorable demonstration on. Monday, when the Auckland Rotigh. .Ktclers took their departure from the' city. The scene on that occasion was one ot the most stirring; ever witnessed here. Words quite fail -to describe the appearance of'the streets as the procession marched to the wharf, and we must fall back on the camera for some permanent reminder of the display. The "Graphic" contains some very effective. pictures of the column marching- down Queen-street, which we doubt not will be'cherished as souvenirs of the. Eiders' departure. The visit of the Governors of New Zealand and IS ew.South Wales and the Premier to. King Mahuta is a picturesque episode. Their Excellencies were accompanied by the. "Graphic" photographer, who obtained, specially fine pictures of the native meeting. The Military. Gymkhana at Potter's Paddock on baturday affoitled a fine exhibition of riding-. Pictures of the events will be found in the "Graphic." Another event of local interest which makes a .fine illustration, or, rather, series of illustrations, was'the recent fire in the Loan and Mercantile stores. Amon* the miscellaneous pictures of the week are-engravings of the Wangahui Eougiv Riders, and' some splendid' full-page Avar pictures. The reading matter ot the journal- this week comprises four complete tales, in' addition to serial stories, topics of the week, articles, notes, society news—the most complete in the colonjyj-racinjf news, golf, tennis, bowling,.cricket, racing notes, etc., special1 ladies' anri children's pages,/ and a vast amount of miscellaneous reading matter. . /
