The Auckland Weekly News does more to advertise New Zealand than any other journal, and the present issue, which.is specially adapted for posting to friends abroad by the outgoing 'Frisco mail, more than maintains the high standard attained by previous numbers. In view of the advent of the reduced postage rates for newspapers recently inaugurated, the proprietors of the News are issuing an exceptionally attractive number, in which will be found some of the finest pictures yet published in the colony. One of the chief features of the issue is a series of photographs, specially taken for the News, illustrating Auckland's splendid harbour. Double-page panoramas depict the wharves and shipping from different points of vantage, and views taken from a ship's masthead give some en- ; tirely new and picturesque effects. Among a fine collection of war pictures will be found some excellent full-page drawings by the News' special artist, illustrating the most tragic and important events which have happened since the commencement of hostilities between Russia and Japan. Scenes at the New Zealand Rifle Association's championship meeting, which has just been concluded at Trentham, include excellent groups of the competing teams, scenes in the firing line, and a portrait of Sergeant

Ching, winner of the rifle championship. The sports held at Alexandra Park on. Saturday last, under the auspices of the

New Zealand Polo Association, concluded a nvost successful tournament, and all the principal events are well illustrated.

Numerous other groups, and portraits, including the recent floods at Opotiki, East. Coast station scenes, Auckland Grammar School swimming sports, the North Island Main Trunk railway, and orange culture in North Auckland, together with the usual amount of high-class letterpress, contribute to a most attractive number, and a publicatiioii which for general public interest stands unrivalled in the colonies.
