ENLARGEMENT or : " THE STAB.

THE proprietors of the Stab, having in view the demands made upon its space for advertisements, the large; increase in the number of its subscribers, and the great progress of the newspaper in every aspect, have for some time past been considering the desirability of permanently increasing its size, so - as to allow the uninterrupted publication of all the information and reading matter which the public have a right to look for in the ' columns of a daily journal. Such a change, however, could not be effected hurriedly without considerable loss; arrangements, therefore, liave been in progress during the past few months to carry out the alteration which this afternoon is completed. A thorough overhaul of the plant; the , erection of new machinery; the securing of an ample supply of material; arrangements in 1 regard to the publication of more complete telegraphic news; an increase of the staff to secure the fullest local information, have all been requisite to enable the alteration to be carried out with advantage to the public and without unnecessary outlay. These difficulties having been successfully overcome, the Star this evening appears in the size which, up to this date, was assumed by the moruing journals. The proprietors are hopeful that the high character which the Stab has attained as a domestic newspaper, will, by this enlargement, be more than maintained, whilst, as a commercial and advertising medium, it will develope new features. With the groat facilities now afforded, there is every ground for confidence tliat the efforts about to be put forth to meet the growing demands of the reading and advertiaing public, will meet with appreciation and support.
