Largest Circulation in the District
Reading Matter on Every Page.
WASHINGTON CITY:
WEDNESDAY..F ebruarv 26. 1878,

A subscriber vrites:-"l get my paper at
least two hours later than did three years ago;
do YOU 90 to press later or is it the fault Of the
esrrier?'' In reply to our correspondent, we
would say that we really go to press sooner than
We did three years ago; and, also, our presses
are run very much faster than they were three
wears ago. Yet, with our best exertions to get
the edition of seasonably. the delivery is later
than we could wish, for the reason that within
three years the circulation of THE STAR has
more than trebled. We do not state this in the
way Of idle boast for il is a matter of easy yeri-
fcaticn by our books, and paper-makers, but
simply by way Of explanation why it is that 50
much more time is required to work off the
paper. We are taking steps, however, that we
trust will prove effective in 20 expediting the
work of issuing The STAR a. to satisfy all rea-
sonable expectations. The vastly preponder-
ating circulation OF THE STAR over its cotem-
roraries is an anomaly. we believe, in Journal
ism, presenting the only instance probably in the
world where an afternoon paper distances its
morning contemporaries in circulation and ad-
yertiSing.
