Publications. THE WEEKLY PRES& NOTICE TO READBR& * ""* NEW SERIES OF ARTICLES BY "THE WARRIGAL." The Proprietors of the WEEKLY PRESS Have the pleasure to announce tht approaching publication of a New Series of TRAVELLING SKETCHES, Entitled A CRUISE IN A CATAMARAN.

THE CRAFT. In this cruise " The Wabrigal," whoa originality is one of his most striking characteristics, will take a distinctly new line. He has just built and launched os the Waipa River a boat of bis own devising—more strictly a Catamaran. Rowing men and yachtsmen who will wish to have details of this craft wLU find them in the introductory chapter of tha cruise, lt will be sufficient to mention here, .or the benefit of the general reader, that the boat is not only a catamaran,bata house boat, and that "This Warriqal" expect 3to live in her for some time, very much at hia ease. She has reraark_b!_ sailing powers, and pulls easy, valuable qualifications for a craft that has ton such a journey as has now to be indicated WHERE "THE WARRIGAL"ISGOI.JQ, The catamaran has been built at Nganu* wahia, and there launched and tested. From this beautiful spot its builder aid owner will sail up the Waipa as far as tta river is navigable—and this should b\ pretty far iv a craft of such light draogh* ' —and leaving the boat there he will then cross the ranges oh foot, and visit th* least known portions of the West Cowt, After seeing all. there Is to see in tha Waipa Country ho will sail down the Waikato, and cruise round Rangiriri and other Lakes, visiting places made famous and interesting to New Zealanders for all time by the Maori War. Sailing to the Waikato Heads "The Warkioal" will next follow up the Awaroa Creek, and then take the boat.to pieces, and have it conveyed overland to Waiuku, on the Manukau Harbour, on which he propo.es to cruise for a time, having full confidence In the sea-going capacities of his strange craft. He will then cross the Isthmus to the Tamakl River, and sail for the Thame*, whose Goldfields be will inspect and describe iv the columns, of the Weekly Press. Afterwards he t will journey up 1 the Oh inemuri River to Te Aroha, aud from thence to the Hot Lakes District, his description of which may be looked forward to with confidence by those who de* sire to read and send to friends at a distance a vigorous yet discriminating account of tho present aspect of New Zea laud's Wonderland. SOMETHING NEW. It will be seen f r >m the above brief oo.t> line that both in the means of locomotion and in the scenes to be..visited, "THB Warbigaj-'s" present journey Is something new and distinct from anything yet attempted by the representative of any colonial journal. A SOLITARY JOURNEY. "The Wabrigal" will be -vithon. any companion in his exploit, and it must be admitted that the element of danger is not wanting in the prospect, and must add a great deal of interest to the cruise. The Waikato is a large and swift river, and has its full share of the snags and rapids of a North' Island stream; the catamaran Is but a frail contrivance. How* ever, "The Wahriga*." built a boat like It, only' smaller: once before, and sailed it greatly to his own satisfaction, and he is perfectly confident of tbe succtt* of his present venture. , It may safely bs said that "A Cruise in a Cat am aba** " will prove as popular as any' series cf articles ever presented to the readers of th* Weekly Press. It will deal with all that j is most worth seeing In the Auckland Province, with sceues at once beautiful In themselves, and invested with the charm of striking associations, and, as the colonial public I*. well aware, the versatile pen of "The Warrigai." is never employed to better purpose than in making his readerfollow him through the adventures of such a journey, and share with him itt many aud varied pleasures.. THE ACCOUNT OF THE CRUISB Will Shortly Appear In the WEEKLY PRESS. '_-~--____\ Bnsinen. Notices • • »• LINCOLN COAL. AND TIMBER YARDS •**T T>Aim*Aa_ AND /"10.
