AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS.

TO-DAY'S PUBLICATION. FINE PICTORIAL SECTION. The Auckland Weeklt News has become world famous for the general excellence of its large pictorial section, and this week's issue, published to-day, maintains the high standard which has secured such a splendid reputatiSn for New Zealand's national illustrated journal. '

A striking double-pago features the gold-seeking activities in the Kawarau, Otago district, following the closing of the dam last week. The active search that is at present being pursued in the region has been illustrated very comprehensively, making a pictorial feature full of interest. The various activities of the GovernorGeneral, Lord Bledisloe, and the Lady Bledisloe in and round Auckland during the past week are also well recorded, a full page being devoted to Their Excellencies' visits to the leading Roman Catholic schools.

Another full page of more than usual interest is devoted to arresting snapshots of the All Blacks playing in the first test match against Australia, and also the return match against New South Wales. "On track and lawn at the Wellington Racing Club's winter meeting at Trentham racecourse" is the title of a full-page, showing incidents of the racing and personal snapshots among the patrons. ' A fine frontispiece includes a splendid photograph of the four-masted barque Olivebank, one of the few surviving ships, "recalling tho bravo days of sail." ,

Outstanding, perhaps, ajo the following:—The aeroplane crash at Waiuku; the Maramarua Hunt's meet at Mangatarata; the Aorangi's crash into tho Suva wharf; end of the Georges Philippar, the French liner which caught fire in tho Gulf of Aden on. her maiden voyage; the departuro of H.M.S.
