Bnataesa Koticea. THE CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS Established 1865. OX reaching the twenty-fifth year of the publication of the nrsc weekly magazine In Oanccroury. Jie Proprietors of the CANTKRbURir WEEKLY PKtSod reler with extreme pleasure to tho success which has attended their efforts in the paat, Consistent adhesion to the poli«y that the best and earliest informavion on every subject, carefully edited, muac cause the WEEKLY PKKSS to rank as the LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN NEW ZEALAND Has proved the secret of their success,, and readers may feel assured tuat no efforts will wanting in the future to maintain the HIGH STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE Already attained by this most popular journal. Ihe CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS is welcomed by all suctions of tue community—by the busineia man, the farmer, the miner, and the politician. In busy olticed and in mountain huts, iv social clubs aud iv wayside tents, it is alike eagerly welcomed. - The shepherd in the back couuery aud the prospector by some lonely mountain otreaui arc constant reacUra. The saw miller in the heart of tne bush aud the shearer in the noisy shed both turn to its paged for thai, recreation which is afforded by uo contemporary. ITS WIDESPREAD POPULARITY Is due to the variety of its contents, both useful and amusing, which ace most carefully chosen, aud thus meet tne requirements of all sorts aud conditions of men—aud women. The BLeriing chura.ci.er of the articles in the PKi£s3, collated and written by a largo B'.aif of contributors iv both the Old and New \Voiluß, 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 ot no one iv the colony, aud tne treatment which Agricultural and Pastoral uubjouia have received aD hits hands ha* culled tonk Uio highest enI comiuius f rom thoje in a position to judge and has gained tue cjnlidonco o£ all practical faimers, therefore upon these topic i the WEKJiIiY PlilfidS has long ruled as an {minority, aud iv and Australia it is always quoted i>B the recognised authority on isevv Zealand farming. THIS SPURi OF KIPiGS, Aβ racing has been termed, is made a specia feature of tUe CANTIfiIIBUKy WiiUiiKliY FKtSS. The eolunius devotea to this subject, dear ro tho hearts of all colonials, are edited by a gentleman who -has tho advantage of knowiui: tue North and South Islands equally well, and readers may, therefore, reJy on getting the beat and latest information about liieiug mutters in Auckland, Napier, Wangtuiui. Wellington, Canterbury, Weatland and Otago. 'Ihe Siatf of Spoi'i/ing Oorrespopdunts possessed by tno PRtuSs.is the beat of its kind in the colony, and only ibu meet reliable iufurmation i 3 published. Favoritism finds no .place in these columns and Wiiiie no personalities arc indulgediu, uuy thing like uulair and unsportsmanlike tactics meet with their duo reward, and tho WKKKLy; PHt-SS speaks ouc. feaileaUy and without respect, of persons, be it steward, starter, jockey or owuer. The page devoted to ATHLETIC SPORTS. ; Mij fairly be claimed to be the boat of its kind iv any paper published south of the hue, and id regarded as such by ail New Zealand At lotos. Kvery description of Athletic Bpo.te is uealt with, and uuder its present miinagumeut thi* department of tho CANTKKHUHY WJBhIKLY "Jt*KWS3 eclipses liiiymiug which has ever appeared in tno colony. THE IOOTBALL, CRICKET, AND ROWING Columns are each allotted to oxperts in these manly sports. With regard to Football the WEEKLY PK.ti.3S has become known to every player in the two islands for its brilliant descriptions of play, the sound advice it, has given aud the clear explanations of ihe knotty points which have from time to time arisen in New Zealand and which have been referred to it. The intellectual recreation afforded by. CHWSS AND DRAUGHTS Has not been loat sight of, and ihe two games under very able editorship, occupy a worthy place iv tno paper every week. The Puzzler is another excellently managed column. THK DTKIUuYmPAIII'MKNT Of the CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS is another of i>.a strongest points, ana it is in ibid uepui'tuient that it has perhaps done the greatebt urn >uut of good work, it is with sa lsfiiction that, ihe proprietors of the CANTKuBuKV Wi'-KKLY FKEdcS can declare that nothing has ever beou printed n their paper to wiiod tUo least objection could oo taken on tho score of impropriety. The,high 'standard of ihe articles which have been publish* d iv tue VV'KEKLY PRESS have given it the position of THK MST FAMILY PAFKR I Published in the colony. Without wishing to cast a Blur on any of its contemporaries, several of which have been considerably improved by competition with the ever popular WJbGtiKLiY Pltftstf, ie may Oβ eaid that no journal issued iv New Zealand ! has done so much to. improve ihe taste of its 1 readers in matters literary as the WifiiOKLY PRUiSS has done. Headers of all sons and sizes can always find something amusing aud instructive iv this department, and'can never put down the paper without being ueiter men, ! women, or children for what they havo read. There are two or three special loatures. connected with this department to whica attention isditected. In the nrst place, tno Ssrial Novels whichiroui time to time have appeared in the WEEKLY PRESS have always oeen 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. The . novels wniuh appear iv the W&iiKLY PHKoS appear at the same time in some of the best English weekly papers,, and until they hare ruu their course in these papers they do not appear in book form. Tho serials, it may be added, are all by English novelists, of the nrst rank. Another feature is one in which the WEEKLY PKESS stands alone. Instead of completely tilling tbe paper with a collection of articles reprinted from.English. American, and Australian papers the Editor has gradually urrounded himself with a ■ • >. STAFF OF LITERARY CONTRIBUTORS, ■ whose names have become household I words from the Turee Kings to Stewart Island, and from one coast to the other. No otherpaper published iv the colony h«u such a staff, aud tne management o f tho WEEKLY PREdS take credit for the acumen with which' Jt has been selected and the encouragement which has been extended to really gifted and capable writers. ... I ; . All departments of literature re represented in this gathering, and tne excellence of the contributed siorios, 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 io with, feelings of pleasure and pride that the proprietors of the WEEKLY PRESS draw the attention of their large circle of readers ro the success which has attended the ettbitsof some of their contributions in wider fields than this offers. **M. C.V."has had her charming verses p inted in "Longman's" and other magazines, and essays by the same talented lady have appeared in the " Atlantic Monthly," one of the be»c literary American magazines. Fresh and graphic articles by " The Warrfßal" appeared in twelve consecutive issues of the widely-circulated Melbourne ** Leader, ,, and " The Field, ,, the recog-ui-ed English authority ou sport, has aisp printed several clever sketches of XewZealano Rport from tae same facile pea. " AustTdl," same of whose verses were recently printed by thocriucal London weekly, the "Spectator, has been a frequent contributor of prose and poetry ro the columns of the WEEKLY PKKSS: and Scott Webster's masterly covol, " Lowes," which recent y appeared in this journal, h&s drawn high praise from competent authorities on English nction. Several orher contributors have also had articles accepted by the chief Australian weekly papers "M.
