The Editorial staff of The Time, have never granted interviews, but, in reply to inquiries by a Daily Mail representa tive, the Publisher of The Times said that the reduction in the price of the journal was contemplated many years ago, but mechanical inventions have only now reached the stage when it is possible to issue the complete Times on the present superb paper at id per copy

Mrs. married Mr. Robert Goelet, the son of the Goelet, a well-known Philadelphia heiress, celebrated millionaire yachtsman, in 1905- Miss Alice Roosevelt was one of her bridesmaids..

It also must not be forgotten that The Times was the pioner of the publication of nett sales, which, I notics, is claimed by The Daily Mail. For many years The Timet gave the exact figures of its sales, but reased at the abolition of the Stamp Act.
"Printing House squar may further be said to be the birthplace of the half pongy Press. I wonder how many readers of your journal remember The Summary, a forerunner of The Daily Mail, which was issued from Printing House-square at a half-penny in 1883.

It is no secret that the sale of The Times has been steadily increasing for seven or eight years, despite the price (ed.), which hithert was equivalent to that of one penny paper and two half. penny papers per diem. Especially is the circulation increasing in clubs and read- ing rooms, and the system of The Times "Tent to read, by which a stationer lends The Times on hire to a certain number of people for an hour or asore per day, haz also extended again of late.
