The year has been exceptionally rich in picturesque events, includ- ; ing the sending away of contingents, the ' mourning for our great Queen, the proclamai tion of our King, the procession of Imperial ! troops, but the visit of their Royal High- ' nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall i and Yoik seems to have surpassed every- | thing in genuine interest and spectacular i effects, and the reception of the "oval visij tors by Aucklandcrs and by the great gathering of Maoris, amid the natural wonders I of the Auckland hot lake region, is likely { to remain as the greatest pictorial effect in j the history of New Zealand illustrated jourj nalism. War hakas by genuine Maori wari riors, given with all the old time vigour, I pui-pui and poi dances by Maori wuhines, j are reproduced as they actually took place, j and the Duke and Duchess are shown mix- ! ing freely with people who a few short years ago were at bitter enmity with our race. • No reception given by the peoples of the i various countries visited dining the Royal 'lour is likely to equal the Rotoiua recepi lion in pieturesqueness and novelty, and the I fact that it has been so admirably por- | trayed by the illustrations in this number 1 of the WiiiiKLV News should make this pubj lication attractive to all classes of people lin all parts of the world. New pictures ; of Auckland's Royal reception, including | some striking scenes at the military review ; iii roller's Paddock, and the social rccepi ions given by the Mayor of Auckland and j by the Government, are also produced. : "The WiiiciilA' .news is now on sale, and i can be obtained from all newsagents and rimj nets.
