The Largest Edition Ever Turned Out In Kingston----The Delivery of the. Paper Was Quite a Task. § _ The British Whig's Progress and Prosperity Number published on Sat- urday was-the most satisfactory edi- tion of its kind ever published by this paper. It was the most satisfactory in that it was by far the largest edition ish Whig, but in any town or city between Toronto and Montreal. It set a new standard for special editions. The industrial reviews and previews were of high' merit, the result of careful study for weeks by the management, The general appreciation with which the edition was received by the people of this city shows that when real merit is put into such ef- forts the people will respond with their commendation. The city edition had hardly been delivered before people began com- ing to the Whig Office for extra cop- ies to send to their friends in differ- ent parts of the country, and that kept up all the afternoon, and is likely to continue for some days. Those desiring any extra copies 'will please not delay long, as the 11,000 extra copies printed will not last long. A number are being sent all over the country, and this will be continued as long as the copies last in order to give the edition and the aivertisers the widest publicity pos- sible. The carrier force in the city was reinforced {0 meet the heavy de- mand occasioned by this special edi- tion, with its fifty-six pages. With the assistance of the Whig automo- bile, the boys managed to deliver their papers in time. They found their loads unusually heavy, but the sturdy little chaps made their rounds just the same. The mail men and railroad men on the trains going east and west were almost swamped with - the large bundles of Whigs sent out. The British Whig has the satisfac. | tion of having produced a paper that is highly spoken of by reader and | advertiser, The advertiser is an important factor, of course, in pre- | paring such a paper, and he Is usu- | ally difficult to please, but the merit | both in matter and typography in | this effort has resulted in making | advertisers feel that they were not | making a donatipn, but that they { were fully repaid by the efficient | service given. | Many were the favorable com- { ments received upon the colored | front page, showing the draped flags | of the Allies in their true colors, and surrounded by a border of Can- |adian maple leaves. This 'was an | expensive piece of work, as the ar- | tist's services in making such en-| | gravings comes high. Added to this, | Lore page bad to be min through the press four times in order to get the necessary colors. | The usual week-end, illustrated | section on Saturday was also a sub- | ject of much favorable comment. | The Kingston page. was about the best yet produced. Heard On the Street. | "It was a hummer"; "it was a great paper"; 'the best you ever is- ed"; "it took the cake"; "a grand my, but you excelled your- "1 wish my good friend Pense could have seen it"; "a credit to Kingston and a credit to the pub- lishers," were among the many and kindly expressions made by all class- es of citizens "A splendid number, and a credit to the city," remarked Chief of Police Baillie, "It, was a splendid number," said Canon Grout, J. E. Johnston, Brock street, said that the number was a splendid trib- ute to the enterprise of the Whig and a credit to the city of Kingston." ¥. Reid, of the firm of James Reid, undertakers, said that it was more than the equal of any Christmas number he had ever seen. "It con- tained a whale of paper, and was fill- ed from front to back with readable Kingston news." . Capt. J. Donnelly, of the Donnelly Salvage & Wrecking Co., remarked that. it must have taken a lot of ex- pense and time, but the result was worth while. A. Davis & Son, Limited, informed the Whig that the issue was "very fine, very good, indeed." T. F. Harrison said that they were quite pleased with the issue. W. Carroll, tailor, Princess street, ald the issue was so good that he was sending coples to England. "It was a grand piece of workmanship." J. A. Macfarlane, when speaking about Saturday's issue, exclaimed, "There was lots of it, and it was well put together." Joseph Nash, proprietor of the College Book Store, told the Whig that the special edition on Saturday was the finest ever produced in Kingston." I was more than pleased with it," he said. "The advertise- ments stood out well, and the Whig is to be congratulated on the splendid showing." W W. Gibson, druggist: "Your Sat- urday"s edition was the best ever turned out in Eastern Canada. The paper was a credit to any city. The ads. were well set and the paper was well printed." William Mack, manager at Lock- ett's shoe store, was very much pleas ed with the special n ber. | looked it over carefully," he said, "and was very much impressed with it. The work was good. It cer- tainly was a great credit fo the 'Whig, and should help to advertise he oy : The Gananoque Reporter says: The Kingston Whig to-day issues a spe- cial "Prosperity Number" of fifty or sixty pages, printed on fine paper and profusely illustrated. The pro- duction is characteristic of the Whig's and efficiency. Among the features are letters from the mayors of nearby towns, deserib- ing the beauties and advantages of the places over which they preside. papers wel to early in the afternoon, and were dis- tributed there by an especially select- ed staff as early as they were dis- tributed in the city of Kingston. The edition was more than merely a city issue, as it endeavored to embrace all the surrounding towns in Eastern' Ontario. The page devoted to this effort was the subject of much favor- able comment in the towns and vil- lages, whose residents appreciated the broad-mindédness of the Whig! in coupling them with such an im- issue, Practically every home in Napanee and Gananoque was served with a copy of the big edition before 6 p.m. ------------ THEATRICAL NEWS ---- To-night Uncle Tom's Cabin, AL W. Martin's world's greatest pro- duction of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will appear at the Grand to-night Mr. Martin has successfully solved the problem of combining the old and the new "Uncle Tom's Cabin" into 2 big spectacular play that leaves out nothing worth retaining of eith- er the straight method or the circus method. All the worthy features f the old landmarks are retained, while the thread of the story has bieen cleverly reconstructed making it more coherent; this with the in- roduction of a host of high-class specialties thoroughly in keeping with the piece, goes far toward 9 forming an ee entertainment.
