SECOND EDITION NOW EEADY.

In response to the demand for a lii "to-class artistic memento of the Auckland Fourth Contingent, the pro-

prietors of the "Graphic" have issued this week a special number of the journal, the chief feature of which will be'a series of magnificent plates ! illustrating- the departure of the Rough Eiders from Auckland. There ■ are between sixteen and twenty ■j pages of pictures in the issue, and diese are printed on fine paper. •iNiO expense has been spared in mak- • I ing the production worthy of the ' j occasion it commemorates. Last week's issue contained four photcI gravures of the departure of the • |Bough Eiders. Owing largely to these ! pictures the demand for the number - was extraordinary. On the day after publication not a copy was to be had, j and hundreds of people had to go , j without. This week's issue in addition to containing six times as many pictures of the great demonstration, •I is the special monthly mail number ;i of the journal. As was anticipated, . the demand for it has been enormous. (The first edition published Wednesday ! morning was a specially large one, . and it was sold out by noon the same day. The second edition is now on sale.
