THE "WEEKLY PRESS."

Friday next is set asido as "Red Triangle Day." This is an appeal by the Y.M.C.A. for funds to carry on for another year their hut -work at the front and elsewhere, and the ''Weekly Press" on issue this week has a fine illustration of the Shakespeare hut, known to ©very New Zealand soldier who has been in London. Very interesting to aJI Canterbury has been the removal of its founder's siatno to the new site in tho Christchurch Cathedral grounds, aud tho ceremony of placing the figure of John Robert God ley on its foundations forms the subject of engravings in our contemporary. The same issue has a number of snapshots of the kindergarten children having a happy time at Mona Vale, of the Akaroa County Racing Club's Annual Meeting at Motukarara, including finishes, winners, and scenes about the course, and portraits of the Canterbury Flying School pupil who got lost in a fog, and his rescuer. Pictures from tho front have frequently shown the necessity for physical fitness in our soldiers, but not one, perhaps, with greater emphasis than that of "Tommv on Leave," appearing in the "Weekly reS6 l to-ctay. There are alsb several beautiful illustrations of Venice where the Austrians have been dropping bombs and doing much damage, of new British Fleet, ana of the British in the Adriatic Sea.
