AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS.
NEARLY SIXTY MAGNIFICENT \ PICTURKS. | i i ■A TRULY HISTORIC NUMBER. | I ; ROTORUA'S ROYAL RECEPTION. j MARVELLOUS MAORI CEREMONIES. GREAT TRIBAL GATHERING. j i THE ROYAL GROUP. ! The present issue of the Auckland Wi?bki.y ! News is one of the most interesting numbers I ever published. The year bus been exceptionally rich in picturesque events, includ- ; ing the sending away of contingents, the i mourning for our great Queen, the proclama- ' j tion of our King, the procession of Imperial I troops, but the visit of (beir Royal High- ; j nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall [ j and York seems to have surpassed every- ! ; thing in genuine interest and spectacular ; | effects, and the reception of the Royal visi- ' | tors by Aucklander.s and by the great ga- ! j thering of Maoris, amid the natural wonders ' j of the Auckland hot lake region, is likely I i to remain as the greatest pictorial effect in ; | the history of New Zealand illustrated jour- j : nalism. War h-dcas by genuine Maori war- j | riors, given with all the old lime vigour, ! pui-pui and poi dances by Maori wahines, ! | are reproduced as they actually took place, : I and the Duke and Duchess arc, shown mix- j ing freely with people who a few short years ' ' ago were at bitter enmity with our race, i ; No reception given by the peoples of the ! j various countries visited during the Royal j 1 tour is likely to equal the Itotorua recep- | I tion in picturesqueness and novelty, and the i i fact that it lias been so admirably por- j | rayed by the illustrations in this number ; ' of the vVi;ekia' News should make this pub- . I lication attractive to all classes of people ; !in all parts of the world. New pictures ; ] of Auckland's IV; al reception, including . some striking scents at Die military review | in Rotter's Paddock, and (he social rccep- i lions given by the Mayor of Auckland and I by the Government, ace also produced. • the WiiKKi.Y News is now on self, and ! • an be obtained from all newsagents and run- I I nets.
