AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS.

TO-DAY'S ILLUSTRATIONS. MANY TOPICAL FEATURES. In to-day's issue pf the Auckland Weekly News the large illustrated section is particularly bright and interesting. There is a great variety of subjects and 100 up-to-date photographs, gleaned from many sources throughout the world, combine to make the number one of outstanding merit.

It shows one of the hunting party clearing a barbed wire fence at full gallop. Seldom has a photograph depicting such wonderful action been captured by the camera. On another page are further pictures of the hunting at Tauranga, while the finals of the New Zealand golf championships at Ciristchnrch are also admiralty illustrated. This week's centre double-page records in a most striking and comprehensive manner the progress of Gisborne's big hrfrbour scheme, which is estimated to cost three-quarters of a million pounds. Work on the headrace for the Arapuni hydro-electric works also makes interesting pictures.
