SPKGIAL, ANNOUNCEMENTS RECOGNITION of NEW ZEALAND * ENTERPRISE. rpHE "INLAND PRINTER," 01 Chicago, Which may bs described as tlie Arbiter ot all Merit in the Printing World, and whose Judj-ments are uiore often ot the cutting than the soothing order, has the following PARAGRAPH in its issue ol November last :— " Owing to a miscarriage of the mails, the "INLAND PRINTER" has received at tha—ia te date a copy ol the "WEEKLY PRESS AND NEW ZEALAND REFEREE," Christchurch, New Zealand, SPECIAL CHRISTMAS NUMBER, 1896. This Special Number is replete with fine hall-tone llustrattcns of scenery in and adjacent to the various New Zealand towns and cities. Many American newspapers could take a hint from this handsome Special Number in its avoidance of coloured inks. It is ONE of the MOST CREDITABLE Souvenir Numbers we have seen. Short stories by A. Conan Doyle, S. R. Crockett, Mrs Hungerford and Amelia E. Earr show tha enterprise of the editorial management. The descriptive matter is crisp and comprehensive and, while there is no evidence of pretension, it i* evident that ew persons into whose hands the paper may fall can ail to be favourably impressed by the beauty of New ealand and* its resources. A paper which makes this impression for the good of the community from which it comes is certainly deserving of the warmest commendation. We are indebted to the courtesy of the Manager of the Printing Department of the Christchurch Press Company, Limited, for the specimens received." It will be noted that the above refers the 1896 Christmas Number. That of 1897 also comes in for hearty praise, al will be.seen by the following extract rom a letter received from MESSRS MARION and CO., the Leading Art Printers in London :— " Solio square, 14th January, 1898. " We duly received your favour of the 29th October, also copy of paper. The illustrations—process blocks —are certainly very good, and compare will with Home papers." " Process Work," published in London, says in it February issue :— "From the Christchurch Pbkss Company, Limited* New Zealand, we have received the Christmas number ot the "Weekly Press," a handsome shilling's worth, containing a very large number 0 half-tone engravings. We are surprised to see "ths excellent quality of work turned out in this distant and mountainous country. Without exception every illustration is excellent, and we doubt if English firms could do much better for the purpose. The whole number is one of which the publishers may justifiably be proud. It will be highly valued wherever it is sent, not only as a pio torial record of the grand and beautiful scenery of New Zealanl, but also as a specimen ot the printing and engraving produced in that country."
