s1oo For Guessers to Win,

The total yearly issue of all the daily
newspapers of the United States for
1888 was 1,4S1. .S44,6uo, according. to
Rowell's Newspaper Guide" The
New York World published one-seven-
teenth of this, or 83,369,82S copies.
In other words, seventeen newspapers
like the World would take the place of
all the 423 daily newspapers of the
United States. During the year 1883
the circulation of The World has made
gigantic strides, and for the eleven
months ending Nov. 30 it reached 95,-
S20,8 1856 copies. For the year it will
reach 1O4,0Oo,OOO, and equal one
twelfth the total circulation Of all the
daily newspapers of the country. or
equal the average circulation of any
other lis dailies. Just what its exact
circulation may be, will not be known
until Jan. 1, and the editor Of The
Worh has offered reward of $100 in
cash to the reader who will make the
nearest guess to the exact number of
copies that will be printed during the
year 1888. Guesses may be sent to the
World up to noon of Dec. "a, and the
prize will be awarded Jan. 10. Here
is chance for the bright wits and
lucky ones. Sharpen your pencils and
get out your dream books. No per-
son will be allowed more than one
guess, but every person in fami ly
may have one.
