The BLerUDjr character of tne articles in the WKiJi&L* PKUkiS, collated aud written by a large staff of vonirioutors in both the Old and New Worluß, has placed it Iβ the foremost rank of Colonial journals. .

THE \ AGRICULTURAL COLUMNS Are under tho care of an expert whose knowledge of Ms subject is second to that of no one iv the eoiuny, tuid tuc treatment which Agricultural and Puotoral eutijects have received at «it» hands has called forth: the highest envouiiums from those in & poaitiun to judge and has gained ttie conndtoice of all practical fanners, therefore upon these topic* the Wlfi.ti£UjY PKKS3 has long ruled as an authority, and iv Kntfiand and Australia it is aivyaya quoted »s The recognised authority on Mew Zealand farming. ■ ' \ THIS SFOR4 OF KII^GS, ; as racing has been termed, is made a spocia feature of Uie CANTKKBURv; Yfi&sstUaY PRjcuSS.

'I'he Puzzle Iβ another excellently managed column. THK LrrKRAIiYDfiPARrMKNT Ol the CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS Is another of its scrougest points, ana it i» in i hia aepartiuenc that it has perhaps done the greatest amount of good work. It is with 8» lStftClwn that the proprietors of the CAN* TKiOJC-KY WEEKLY fREdd can declare that nothing has ever beou printed a their paper to w£uch tue least objection could oe taken oa the score of impropriety. The high standard of the ariiclcs which have been! published in the VVKfiKLY PRKUsi have given it the position of THK BfcST FaMILX PAPER Published in the colony. Without wishing to case a elnron any of its comcerapaiarie!* several of which have beeu considerably improved 4jy com petition with the ever popular A r »"ifiE£LLY Pitied, it may oe Bald that uo journal issued in New Zealand hasdoiw >o much u> improve the taste of ita readers in matters literary as the WitifiKLY PRKSS has doae. Keaders of uU sorls and sizes can always find something amusing aud instructive ia this department, and can never , put down the paper without being better men,' women, or children fur what they navw real. - Tnore are two or three speeiau textures connected with this department to whicu attention i* diiected. In the nrat piace, tne Sdiial Novels which from time to time have appeared in the WKtIKLY PKKaS have alvfays Been

ABSOLJTfiLY NEW j to the people of the, colony. No novel which can already do obtained at auy bobkseilur'* in acho«tp -Aeetralian edition is pnbUsiied. The novels wnicii appear in the WiiitiOiY PKKaS ' appear a< the same lime in some of the best Kngliab weekly papers, and until they nave rau tueir course in these papers thoy «Jo not appear in d.kjlc farm. The aerials, it may be ; added, are all by tfnglisu novelists of the nrst rank. Another feature is one in which the WKiiKLiV PHttSS stands alone. Instead of completely tilling trie paper witn a collection of articles reprinted from EngUsn, American, and Australian papers the Editor has gradually urronnded himself with a STAFF OF LITERARY. CONTRIBUTORS, whose names have 'besoms household words from the Tarea Kings to Stewart Island, and from one coast to the other. No other p -per published in the colony h*» snch a staff, and tiie management of the Wi£t£2£UX' PRESS take credit for the acumen with Wuich it hae been selected and the encouragement which has been extended to really gifted and capable writers. AUdepartmenta of literature re represented In this gathering, and the excellence «f so* contributed siories, verses, essays, and sketches which have helped to make the WittCKLY PRESS the MOST POPULAR WEEKLY PAPER in New Zealand U recognised all over the feelings of pleasure and pride that the proprietors of the WJSEKLiT>RKSS draw ttie attention of their large circle of readers to the succes* which has attended the etSntsof some of their contnbnUone tojwider aildsthan this colocy offers. -M.C.
