                           AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE 13D


Times Mirror hereby amends and restates the information on its paper formatted
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 
1989 (the "Statement") and hereinafter restated in its entirety in accordance 
with Rule 13d-2(c).

Item 1.          Security and Issuer

                 This Statement relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock,
$.01 par value (the "Shares"), of McClatchy Newspapers, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("McClatchy Newspapers").  The principal executive offices of
McClatchy Newspapers are located at 2100 Q Street, Sacramento, California
95816.

Item 2.          Identity and Background

                 This Statement is being filed by The Times Mirror Company, a
Delaware corporation having its principal business and office address located
at Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles, California 90053 ("Times Mirror").  Times
Mirror is engaged principally in newspaper publishing, professional information
and magazine publishing businesses.  Times Mirror publishes the Los Angeles
Times, Newsday, The Sun, The Hartford Courant, The Morning Call, The Advocate,
the Greenwich Times, and several smaller newspapers.  Times Mirror also
publishes a variety of books, special interest and trade magazines and other
media through its subsidiaries.

                 During the last five years, Times Mirror has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

Item 3.          Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

                 Because the transaction was solely a disposition of Shares to
which this Statement relates, Item 3 is not applicable.

Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction

                 Times Mirror disposed of all of its Shares based upon its
determination that the sale price of such Shares represented their fair value.

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                 The exact date on which Times Mirror ceased to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class is unknown; however, according to
the quarterly filings on Form 10-Q of McClatchy Newspapers, Times Mirror ceased

to own more than 5% sometime after May 1, 1994 but before August 8, 1994, and 
most likely around May 9, 1994, the date on which McClatchy Newspapers filed    
and priced its secondary offering.  By December 1, 1995, Times Mirror had sold
all of its Shares of McClatchy Newspapers Shares.  The table below sets forth
all sale transactions in Shares effected by Times Mirror within the past 60
days.  All such transactions were effected on the New York Stock Exchange by
Goldman Sachs acting on behalf of Times Mirror.
