A SPLENDID ISSUE.

"WEEKLY GRAPHIC" CORONA. TION NUMBER. The Special Coronation number of the " Weekly Graphic," which was issued today, is a magnificent production in every way. Attention is at once attracted by the presentation plate showing His Imperial Majesty King George in his coronation robes. Printed in colour on heavy art paper, this fine picture alone is worth the money charged for the whole issue of seventy-two pages. Besides the series of specially written articles devoted to the Coronation itself, the ancient ceremonies and their meaning, the issue contains the latest character sketches of the King,- tbe Queen, the Prince of Wales, and other leading figures in the great pageant which takes place this month in London. Eighteen pages are filled with splendid illustrations, including a striking double-page of the interior of Westminster Abbey, where the King will be crowned. The full-page portraits include Queen Mary in her coronation robes, the latest pictures of Lord and Lady Islington, and, as a frontispiece, a reproduction from the fine equestrianrportraitofiKing George painted for the Paris Salon by Mt. Georges Scott. The other pictures, reproduced in the " Graphic's " best style, form a complete and varied selection of exceptional interest. Indeed, there is no doubt that this is absolutely the finest Coronation number ever issued South of the line. Acting upon previous experience of the way in which special numbers "Graphic" have been speedily~sold out, we would advise those who are not regular subscribers to place their orders without delay, and thus avoid disappointment.
