Tho result has been particularly satisfactory, and lias oiiabled the publisher to deliver the' papers much earlier than has been tho rule in this city. It has been decided'to mako a severe test of motor-car delivery in connection with this morning's issue. A special edition of Tiie Dominion has been prepared, and tho making-up of the paper was hastened yesterday with the object of supplying the residents of Wanganui with -■ the paper before breakfast-time; A motor-car left tho city just beforo midnight last night, carrying a largo supply of papers containing special reports, picturos, and general matter relative to tho sculling contest to bo held to-day. Tho special edition contains, of course, all of yesterday's and last night's nows to hand up to the timo of going to press. Tho car will attempt to mako the through run to Wanganui without stoppage, and, in tho absenco of the accidonts that wait upon long-distanco' motor-car journeys, tho papors should arrivo in Wanganui this morning about breakfast-time. This is. a new departure in newspaper delivery, and is, "of course, largely in tho nature of an experiment. 'We liavo no doubt that tho result of. l tho undertaking will |»' watched with interest.
