AN APoLoGY.-The rush upon the Star office
yesterday afternoon was great as to compel us
to serve some hundreds of our subscribers with
but the inside form of the DAYS paper On dis
covering that the paper would probably run short.
We commenced supplying the demand at the coun-
ter with sheets worked only with the inside form:
but unfortunately we did not stop the counter sales
OF the full-worked paper sufficiently soon The
rush upon us was great thus to defeat the rea-
zation OF our calculations; for, usual ere going
to press with the inside FORM the breaking up of
the outside form had been commenced Our sales
OF papers yesterday ran up to an aggregate Of full
three thousand copies above the Stars usual edi-
Gon. Those still desiring copies Of yesterday S
Star will Of course find its report of the homicide
case In the next Weekly Star
