AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS.

TO-DAYS ILLUSTRATIONS. WEALTH OF TOPICAL ITEMS. A very high standard of interest is well maintained throughout the large pictorial section of the • Auckland Weekly News, published to-day. An excellent selection of photographs, received from many sources and splendidly reproduced, will appeal strongly to all sections of the public. This week's frontispiece records in a most striking manner the arrival of New Zealand's second cruiser, H.M.S. Diomede, while another uaval picture of interest is the launching of the huge battleship Rodney, the latest addition to the Royal Navy. Important sporting items are liberally illustrated. There,is a fine souvenir page of the Austral.an cricketers chosen to defend the coveted "ashes" in England this year. The Wellington Racing Club's Summer Meeting is also given prominence, and there are some good photographs of last Saturday's yachting in Auckland and the athletic sports at the IJomain. The centre double-page is devoted to one beautiful scenic plate .depicting the great Franz Josef Glacier and the Southern Alps, reflected in Peter's Pool. As an example of iNevv Zealand s scenic wonders this picture alone makes the number well worth posting to friends in other lands. Two further excellent page features are entitled "Summer days beside New Zealand's largest lake," and "Life on a Large New Zealand Sheep Station." These, too, are excellent mediums for conveying to distant friends faithful impressions of work and play in this Dominion.
