SPORTING AND DRAMATIC.

Generously studded with a wide selection of pictures secured from the best local and overseas sources, this week’s issue of the N.Z. Sporting and Dramatic Review stands pre-eminent in illustrated journals in this part of the world, and indeed com- | pares favorably with similar British maga- ' zines of long-established fame. The centre pages are attractively designed to show i winter sports in Switzerland, the United . States and Canada, with brilliant achievements of the various champions in fancy and speed skating and ski-ing. Snapshots at the Auckland Trotting Club’s autumn fixture occupy a prominent position in the interests of the racing fraterniity, and the opening meet of the Manawatu Hunt at Mrs; Shannon’s residence is the subject of a particularly interesting set of photographs. Another animated page of portraits is devoted to the Prince of Wales’s participation in Point-to-Point Steeplechases. special feature of the illustrations is the Siki-McTigue fight in Dublin for the world’s light heavy-weight championship. The latest dress creations from London, a frontispiece of Miss Emelie Polini, portraits of leading movie stars, and a host of striking miscellaneous subjects, make up an issue that cannot fail to make a general appeal. Our £5O Free Skill Competition on the Great Northern Hurdles : appears in this issue. The Review is on sale at all booksellers and stationers.
