The Auckland Weekly News occupies the position of the premier weekly journal of New Zealand. Its popularity in the town and country districts of the North Island is attested by the large circulation which it enjoys, while in other parts of the colony, in Australia, and the islands, and in Amerioa and England, it is widely known and read. As an advertising medium it thus possesses advantages whioh no similar newspaper in the oolony can lay claim to. Its country news, supplied each week by a numerous staff of reliable correspondents, ib complete and impartial. Considerable space is devoted to the practical work of the farm, and to all subjects relating to agriculture. This department of the NEWS is under .. the charge of a gentleman of great experience and knowledge of all matters connected with the cultivation of the soil, and to render the information given as useful as possible, the subjects treated on are illustrated by skilfully-exeouted engravings. The sports of the field and turf are fully chronicled, and attention is devoted to the pleasant and interesting games of chess and draughts. As a family journal and general newspaper the NEWS ranks equally high, and the greatest care iB exercised to maintain the wholesome tone and character of its reading matter—nothing that is offensive to good - taste or oherished convictions being admitted to its columns. It contains a weekly history of the newn of the world, and special contributions on a wi de range of subjects, from the facile pens of accomplished writers, Its aerial tales are of absorbing interest, and are contributed by some of the foremost novelists of the day, A sermon by an eminent divine, and some well-selected Sunday reading, is also published each week.
