“Aussie”. —The August issue of “Aussie” should be eagerly sought after as it is a special racing (“Gee Gee”) number and from its attractive cover design to the last page is •full of irresistible humour. While motor tyre's are blotting out the hoof-marks of the Dobbins, the Gloamings are still going strong, so in this issue of “Aussie” the artists and writers who contribute to the magazine from every letter box in Australia and N.Z., have laughed mainly with the racehorse, though good old Dobbin ras not been altogether neglected. It is only when “Aussie” writers and artists get their funny ink to work that we know how humorous the horse really is. “Aussie” is famed for its covers and for this issue Mr. M. Matthews, the Auckland artist, has drawn one of the best covers to date.
