OURSELVES. On New Year's Day, the Times will be permanently enlarged to double its present size, and arrangements are being made that will enable it to contain a very much larger amount of reading matter than hitherto. As Otago will be so slenderly represented at the Great Exhibition, we have thought—following the example of some of the Australian journals— that it would not be an uninteresting evidence of the condition and prosperity of the Province, that a copy of the Daily Times should be exhibited. For this purpose, tne I'imcs of the Ist January will be carefully struck oil' on white satin, and be sent home in time for exhibition. As many may be anxious that their names should prominently appear before the thousands of gazers at the World's Great Fair, a couple of the advertising columns of the inside of the paper wiil be devoted to a species of Directory of the names and businesses of those persons who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity. Each
advertisement must simply state name, business, and address, and must be sent in before four o'clock on the 31st December. On the 2nd ol January, as before mentioned, each subscriber to the Times will be presented with a feiieei Almanac, containing, besides the calendar, a ready reckoner by which to calculate the price oi gold, tables of the tariff* and Post-office rates, the rules and regulations in force on me gold fields, and a variety of other useful information.
