Our Illustrations.

Among the illustrations appearing in this issue are some snapshots taken at the Wanganui Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting, showing the lawn and saddling paddock. Also pictures of the Pakuranga Hunt Club’s Meeting at Alexandra Park. Two well-known sportsmen in Mr. J. O. Evett (the handicapper) and Mr. Hanken (the starter) are also shown. The opening of the bowling season at Mount Eden was an event in which much interest centred, and a good group of the players is given, together with an excellent portrait of Mr. Oliver Nicholson, the popular president of the club. Among other pictures will be found a fine portrait of Miss Jessie Maclachlan, the Scottish cantatrice, who makes her bow to an Auckland audience next Monday at His Majesty’s. “ The Modern Milo” has also been the subject of general comment and admiration during the week, so that two of her more beautiful representations should prove interesting. Cruickshank, the caricaturist, another favourite with Opera House audiences, is also shown, as is- the latest portrait of Sir Henry Irving, the grand old man of the stage.
