Business Notices. CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS Established 1835. OS reaching the twenty-fifth year of the publication of the tlrjc weekly magazine in Canterbury, ihe fropriecore of the CANTJCKiIUItiT WjC&KI.'JC PKifiAS relec with esireme pleasure to tne eucce.s wnioh has an ended tneir effort* iv the past. Consistent, adhesion to the polity that the best and earliest information on every subject, carefully edited, must cause the Wi£&KLY PRKrib to rank as the LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN NEW ZEALAND Has proved the secret of their success, and readers may feel assured ttiat no en\>ru» will wanung in the future to nioiutain cue HIGH STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE Already attained by this most popular journal. Ihe CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS is welcomed by uli sections of cue community—by ihe business man, the farmer, the miuer, and tne politician. In buay ortlcea and in mountain huts, in social clubs aud in wayside tents, it is alike eagerly welcomed. The shepherd in the uac£ country ana tne prospector by some lonely mountain stream art) consume readers. The saw miller in the Heart of tuo bush and the shearer iv the noisy shed both turn to its page* for that recreation wnich is afforded by uo contemporary. ITS WIDESPREAD POPULARITY Is due to the variety of its contents, both useful and amusing, which are most carefully chosen, and thus meet tne requirements uf all sons and conditions or men—and women. The sterling character of the articles in the WJSKK-L* PKEsS, collated and written by a large sialf of contrioutors in both the Old and New Worlua, has placed it in the foremost rank of Colonial journals. THE AGRICULTURAL COLUMNS Are under the care of an expert whose knowledge of his subject is second to that of no one iv tne colony, aud tne treatment which Agricultural and Pastoral subjects have received at His hanus had called furih the highest encomiums from thorn in a position to judge and .■as gained tne confidence of all practical iaimeiii, therefore upon these topics the WEEKLY RttESS has long rulea aa an authority, and iv Kngland and Australia it is tUvvays quoted us the recognised authority on .Sew Zcalaud farming. Tiifc SPUR* OF KINGS. As racing has been termed, is made a specia feature of tne CANTKfitfURr WJfiJii'tUjY fKis,SS. The columns devote J. to this subject, dear to the hearts of all colonials, are edited uy a gentleman who has the advantage of knowing ttte Nortu and South islands equally well, and readers may, therefore, rely on getting the best aud latest information about meing matters in Auckland, Napier, Wanb atiUL. Wellington, Cam eroury, Weatlandand jtago. 'Ihe siatf of Sporting Correspondents possessed by the VV&KKIA PRaSS is the ueat of its kind in tne colony, and only the most reliable information is published. Favoritism finds no place in these columns and Wiiiie no personalities are indulged in, any iuinß like unfair and unsportsmanlike tactic 3 meet with their due reward, and the wkkKJLiV PK&S3 epeaka ouc fearlessly aid without respect of persons, be it steward, itarter, judye, jockey or owner. The page devoted to ATHLKiIO SPORTS. Mi»y fairly be claimed to be the best of its kind in any paper published south of the line, and is regarded as such by all New Zealand At.ileics. Jsivery description ot Athletic spo ta is aealt with, and uuder its preseiu umnagemeat tlji* department of the CANTBBBUKY WEEKLY PKaSd eclipaee auytning which has ever appeared in tne colony. THJS TOOIBaTI, CRICKEi; AND ROWING Columns are each allotted to experts in these manly sports. With regard to Football the WEEKLY PKftSS has become known to every player in tne two islands for its brilliant descriptions of play, the sound advice has givcu and the clear explanations of the knotty points which have from time to time arisen in New Zealand and which have been referred to it. The intellectual recreation afforded by CHrSS AiND DKAUGHiS Has not been lost sight of, and the two games under very able editorship, occupy a worthy place iv mc paper every week. The Puzzler is another excellently managed column. ilO; LITKKAIIFDKPAIirMKNT Of the CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS is another of its strongest. points, and it Iβ in this department that it has perhaps dove the greatest urn *uut of good work. It is with sa is£acdoii that the proprietors of the OANTEUBcRtf WEEKLY PUEdd can declare that nothing has over been printed n thoir paper to winch tue least objection could oe taken oh the- score of impropriety. The high standard of the articles which have been published in the WEEKLY PRESS have given it the position of THIS BBST FAMILY PAPER Published in the colony. Without wishing to cast a Blur Oα any of ita contemporaries, several ot wnich have been considerably improved by competition with the ever popular WEEKLY. KKEdaS, it may oe said that no journal issued iv New Zealand has done bo much to improve the taste of its reiuiers in matters literary as the WEEKLY PRIfiSS has done. Headers of ail sors and biziis can always find something amusing aud instructive in this department, and can never put down the paper without being better men, women, or children for what they nave real. There are two or three special features conn> cted with this department to whiuu attention i 3 directed. In the iirsc piace, the Serial Novels which from time to time have appeared in the WEEKLY PKESS have always oeea ABSOLUTELY NEW to the people of the colony. No novel which can already be obtained at any bookseller's in a cheap Australian edition is published, l'he novels which appear in the WEEKLY PRESS appear at the same lime in some of the best English weekly papers, and until they have run their course in these papers they do not appear in buok form. The serials, it may bo added, are all by English novelists of the llrst rank. Another feature ia one in which the WEEKLY PKES3 stands alone. Instead of completely filling the pape- with a collection ot articles reprinted from English, American, and Australian papers the Editor has gradually urrounded himself with aSTAFF OF LITERARY CONTRIBUTORS whose names have become household words from the Tnree Kings to Stewart Island, and from one coast to the other. No Other p.iper published in the colony haa such a stan, and tue management of the WEEKLY PRESS rake credit for the acumen with wnich it baa oeea 3<jl»cted and the encouragement which has been extended to really gifted and capable writers. All departments of literature re represented in this gathering, and the excellence of the contributed stories, verses, essays, and sketches which have helped to make the WEEKLY PRESS the MOST POPULAR WEEKLY PAPER in New Zealand is recognised all over the colony. it ia with feelings of pleasure and pride that the proprietors of the WEEKLY PRK3S draw the attention of their large circle of readers to the success which has attended the etfoitsof some of their contributions in wider fields than this colony offers. •• M.

"Austral," some of whose verses were recently printed by thecritical London weekly, the -Spectator/ , has been a frequent contributor of prose and Doetry to tne columns of the WEEKLY PKESS: and Scott Webster's masterly novel, "Lowes," which recenty appeared in this journal, has drawn high praise from competent authorities on English fiction. Several other contributors have also had articles accepted by the chief Australian weekly Papers, M* wnowrlteaspeciailTtor thei WEEKLY PRESS the cleverest pen-pxetnres of modern Paris ever published in any journal, is an Occasional contributor to the "Spectator "and other highclass English journals.
