The hearty enthusiasm with which the first number of the Knitting Extra was re- ceived, the large number sold, and tbe anxious inquiries as to its successor, have deter- mined The Tribune to publish the second number as soon as possible. The shape has been al ered to one which it is known will be more convenient and acceptable to its fair readers, and more easily preserved. As a handy pamphlet giving a carefully-selected variety of patterns, in clear type and good paper, with appropriate illustrations, this publication is absolutely unique. Its price will be 20 cents. For 25 cents both this and the first Knitting Extra, No. 59 (the xegalar price of which is 10 cents), will be forwarded to any address. ERRATA.
