CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS Established 1865. OS reaching the twenty-fifth year of the publication of the first weekly magazine in Canterbury, ihe Proprietors of the CANTERBURY WKKKLT PHtfiSd relerwith extreme pleasure to the aucce.e which has attended their efforts in the past, Consistent adhesion to the policy that the best and earliest information on every subject, carefully edited, mueC cause the WKJtKLY PRK3S to rank as the LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER NEW ZEALAND Has proved the secret of their success, and readers may feei assured tiiat no effort* will wanting in the future to maintain the HIGH STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE Already attained by this most popular journal. The CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS ia welcomed by all sections of tne community—by the business man, the farmer, tbe miner, and the politician. In bu»y ottlcea and in mountain huts, ia souiai cluos and in wayside teats, it is aliktt eageny welcomed. The shepherd in the backcouutry and tbe prospector by some lonely mountain etru&m are constant read rs. The saw ruiiier in the taearc of tue buah and the shearer in tlio nuiey ahed both turn to its paged for that recreation which is afforded by no contemporary. ITS WIDESPREAD POPULARITY Is due to the variety of its contents, both useful and amusing, which are most carefully chusen, and thus mett tbe requirements ut all sons aud conditions of men—and women. The sterling character of the articles in the WKKJtOA PKKaS, collated and written by a large sialf of contributors in both the Old and New Worlus, has placed it in the foremost rank of Colonial journals. J THE AGRICULTURAL COLUMNS Are tinder the care of an expert whose knowledge of his subject is second u> that of no one iv tbe colony, and tne treatment whicii Agricultural and Pastoral subjects have received at his hands had called forth the highest encomiums from those in a position to judge and has gained tae confidence of all practical farmer*, therefore upon these topics the WKifiKLY PrtKSS has long rulea as an authority, and iv Enxland and Australia it is always quoted as the recognised authority on New Zealand fanning. THIS SFUlii OF KIJNGS, As racing has been termed, is made a specia feature of tne UA2sTiaUJUK¥ WJtt&KLY .fiibSS. The columns devolea to this subject, dear (o the hearts of all colonials, are edited by a genuemau who bas tbe advanuigc of knowiuar tbe Nortu and South Islands equally well, and readers may, therefore, rely on getting the best and latest information about racing matters in Auckland, Napier, Wangauui- Wellington, Canterbury, Weatland and Utago, The Bidif of Sporung Correspondents poaseseed by the W.fc,i£K.LiY PRt,S3 is the beet of its kind in the colony, and only the most reliable information is published. Favoritism finds no .place in these columns and wiiiie no personalities aro indulgedut, any thing like uufair and unaportemauuke tactics meet with their due reward, and the WKJtKLY PttiiSS speaks out fearlessly and witbout respect of persons, be it steward, starter, judpe, jockey or owner. The page devoted to ATULKTIU . SPORTS. May fairly be claimed to be the best of its kind in any paper published south wf the line, and Iβ regarded as such by all New. Zealand Athletes. Every description of Athletic spots is dealt with, and under its presenc management this department of tbe CANTERKUKY WEEKLY PKH.S3 eclipses auyTbing which bas ever appeared in the colony. THE FOOTBALL, CRICKEI , , AND ROWING Columns aie each allotted to oxperta in these manly sports. With regard to Football the WEEKLY PRfcSS has become known to every player in the two islands for its brilliant descriptions of play, the sound advice io has giveu and the clear explanations of the knotty, poiuts which have from Umc to time arisen in New Zealand and whicn have been referred to it. The intellectual recreation afforded by CHiSS AND DRAUGHTS Has not been lost sight of, and the two games under very able editorship, occupy a worthy place ia tbe paper every week. Xbe Puzzler is another excellently managed column. THK LITKRARFDKPARiMENT Of the CANTERBURY WEEKLY PRESS is another of its strongest points, and it Is in this department thtvt it has perhaps doae the greatest amount of good work. It is with sa isfaction that ihe propria tors of the (JANTJffittBoKY WEEKLY PKEdci can declare that nothing has ever been printed n their paper to winch tiie lease oojoocioa could oe taken on the score of impropriety. The high Standard of the ariiclue which have been I published in the WEEKLY PRESS have given it the position of the B&sT family papkr Published in the colony. Without wishing to cast a slur on any of Its contemporaries, several of wnich have been considerably improved by competition with the ever popular VVEKKLiY FKKdd,ioinay oe Bttid that no journal issued iv New Zealand bas done so much to improve the taste of its readers in matiera lkurary as the VVWKKLVT PRtt£?S has doae. Kouders of all - sor 8 and sizss can always find something amusing aud instructive iv this department, and can uever put down the paper without being better men, women, or children for what they navu read. There are two or three special fentureg conntcted with this deparuneut to whiuii attention iadiiected. In tbe tlrat p.aee, ttte Sariat Novels which from time to time h*ve appeared in the WKEICLY PKKa=> have always Deen ABSOLUTELY NlflW to the people of tbe colony. No novel which can already be obtained -at auy bookseller's in a cheap Australian edition is pubiisued. i'ae novels Which appear in Che WabJLL V PRKdd appear ai the same tluiu in some of the besc Knglish weekly papers, and until they have run their course in these papers they do not appear in form. The seriala, it may be added, are aU by English uoveli&is of the nrst rank. Another feature is one in which the i WEEKLY PKKSS stands alone. Instead of ' completely tilling the papo* with a colieotion | of articles reprinted from English. American, and Australian papers the Editor has gradually urrounded himswif with a STAFF OF LITERARY CONTRIBUTORS, whose names have' become household words from the Taree Kings to Scewart Island, and from one coast to the other. No other p-per published in the colony h<w> such a staff, and tue management of the WEiSKLi' PRKriS take credit for the acumen with wnich it has been selected and: the encouragement which has been extended to really gifted aud capable writers. All departments of literature re represented in this gathering, and the excellence of the contributed storids, verses, essays, and «kecehes which have helped to make the WEEKLY PRESS the MOST POPULAR WEEKLY PAPER in New Zealand is recognised all over the colony. it is with feelings of pleasure and pride that the proprietors of the WEEKLY PRESS draw the attention of their large circle of readers to the succea* which bas attended the eflojtsof some of their contributions in wider fields than this colocy offers. "M. C. V." has bad her charming verses p luted in " Longman's" and other magazines, and essay* by the *ame talented lady have appeared in the " Atlantic Monthly." one of the best literary American magazines. ' Fresh and graphio articles by " Tne Warriß&l" appeared in twelve consecutive issues of the wideiy-ci culated Melbourne "leader,"and "The Field,"the recognised English authority on spore, has alap printed several clever sketches of NewZealano apart from ihe same facile pen. " AustraL" some of whose verses were recently printed by the critical London weekly, the "Spectator, has been a frequent contributor of prose and poetry to the columns of the WEEKLY PK&3S; and Scott Webster's masterly novel, "Lowes." which recenty appeared in this journal, has drawn high praise irom competent 1 authorities on English fiction. Several other i contributors have also had articles accepted by the chief Ansa alian weekly papers "M. M* wno writes specially for the WEEKLY PRESS the olevereet pen-pictures of modem Parie ever published in any journal, is an contributor to the * {spectator " and other highciuss Kngiish journals. THE WEEKLY PRESS Is the newspaper which provides far the re Quirements of persons engaged in the world's markets* The COMMERCIAL INFORMATION Contained in THE CANTERBURY WEEKLY I»RB*S has earned a deserved reputation toe reliability, and constituted pre-eminently a> standard for reference.
