AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS.

STRIKING ILLUSTRATIONS. TO-DAY'S SPLENDID EDITION. A large and extremely attractive pictorial section, well up to the high standard which has made the journal worldfamous, is published in the current issue of the Auckland Weekly News, which will be on sale to-day. Pictures bearing on to-morrow's great tribute to the heroes of Anzac make a fine frontispiece that will be widely appreciated. A miracle of salvage, the wonderful recovery of the whaling ship C. A. Larsen after the vessel was badly torn on a rock at Stewart Island, is the subject of a very interesting series of photographs which include fiictures showing how the great rents in the hull were patched up to enable the vessel to proceed to Port Chalmers.

This week's centre double-page will be universally admired. With seascapes, bird studies and cruising scenes, it depicts New Zealand's beautiful coast-line in out-of-the-way places of both Islands. Wapiti hunting in the West Coast Sounds district is another outstanding feature of the issue. The pictures illustrate a recent successful stalking trip by an Auckland party, and give readers a splendid idea of the country in which the wapiti deer have become established.

The miscellaneous pages contain items from all parts of New Zealand. North Island subjects include: —Calm and storm on the waterfront at Napier; official close of the yacht-racing season in Auckland; a destructive fire at Hawera; the Manawatu Racing Club's meeting at Palmerston North; hunting Japanese deer in the Kaimanawa Ranges; the cross-country running season opened in Wellington; departure of military police for Samoa; a fine aerial view of Onehunga, and cattle-raising on an extensive scale at White Rock, near Cape Palliscr.

Outstanding items of news by photography from the South Island are as follows:—Busy tourist traffic at a famous South Westland alpine resort; the Dominion legal conference held in Christchurch ; motor tourists at Kaikoura, and holiday-makers on the Clinton River. Among the usual budget of interesting happenings in other lands are several important sporting items of general interest. These include n remarkable picture of the Cambridge University rowing eicrht in action: another steeplechase success by the Prince of Wales, and a fine display by ladv riders at a lish cross-conntrv meeting.
