CIRCULATION FIGURES.
The Boston sunday Journals Frank State
ment to the People.

The Boston Sunday Journal has caused
a sensation in New England newspaper
circles b, telling the people frankly in its
columns the actual figures it's circula-
ton in detail. 1t has been induced to
take this step, the Journal says, on &C
count of the grossly inaccurate circula-
ton figures put forth by one of the other
Boston Sunday papers-the Herald. The
Journal declares that the actual net cir
Culation of the Boston Sunday Herald is
not more than one-third of the CrCua-
ton which the Herald claims in its col.
unns; that the genuine circulation of the
Journal is within % per cent of the genu
inc circulation of the Herald, and the
Ionrnal offers to substantiate the state
ments by an open comparison OF the
books of the Herald and Journal before
impartial and competent persons. The
Journal takes this step, as il says, purely
as a matter of business, believing that it
would be unfair to itself to allow the
Herald's figures to go unchallenged. The
Journals figures show that the Sunday
Journal has gained in circulation, in the
district named, $4,000 copies during th'
past year, tremendous increase in {
twelve month, and illustrative of thu
rapidly and steadily growing popularity
of the paper.
