THE CUPPER'S OLft VOYAGE AND NEW. Twenty-live years I The pilot leta go the wheel for a otoment to look back over the long course he has sailed. Itaag, did we say? ^y, it eeoBs but yesterday since The Cuppzb set forth on Its Toyage—bat yeatertiay tliat, with modest hopes,'the modest craft launched oat into a sea of untried Joomalism. And yet these crowded memories, these varied expe- riences, ooold not spring from any yesterday. Here Is the log-l)OOk. There is no mistakin g the record, "Tolume Twenty-six." Which means that The Clippeb's voyage has covered a quarter ol a century. May not the pUot then be pardoned lor turning his gaze backward? 'When The Clippeb had completed ita^ist volume, this assoiance was given to its pa^oons: "We prrfer to woric oar way slowly anii sorely; bat notliing will be left undone to lender The Kew Tobk Cufpeb worthy the Bupport and patronage of the pabllc" At the same time it was added: "If we receive the same patron- age for this as we did for the first voltune, we shall be perfectly contenL" To-day we turn bock to these early utterances with a peculiar sense of satisfaction. It is still our choice to work slowly and surely—slowly, that the work may be well done; surely, tliat every step taken may be forward. The Cuppeb of to-day is The Clippeb of twentj'-flve years ago. The same haiid still holds the helm; the same puriiose serves as a beacon to guide the ship. Only the outward form, the size and shape of the craft, the cargo and the crew—these have changed. And what a wondrous change it Is! Turning the musty leaves of this first volume, wc find a small, four-page paper, its contents unenlivened by Uluatrations, and its tyjiogtaphical appearance a trifle clumsy. The reading matter, all told, would not fill more than a couple of pages ot this Jotimal. The advertisements are tew, and far from "fat." The Cuppeb readers of to-day would find it hard to recognize in this little sheet their companion of later years. And yet we turn the yellow pages with a feeling aldn to reverence.^THere wa£ the beginning of a work which to-day rounds a quarter of a century—a work which has grown to such proportions as were never^drcamed of In those struggling days. Yes, The Clippeb has hud Its struggles. It has sailed over some rough seas, and been hemmed In, at times, by fogs. What would our twenty-flvo years* exjwrlence be worth, hod it brought us nothing but calm waters and peaceful skies? Life would be on Insipid thing stripped of its trials. man needs to be knocked down, now and then, by the bard flat of Fate, that he may have the chance to show his pluck in getting up again. A gracious Providence did not deny such chances, in early life, to The Cuppeb pilot. The experience may have been sharp, at times, but the remem- brance now serves only to give a sweeter flavor to the post No man has a right to complain because compelled to work. Unless he haa mistaken his calling, he should find his keenest enjoyment in the performance of his dally task. Holding to this belief, we can say, in perfect sincerity, that, In spite of storm and tempest, in spite of shoals and rocks, in spite of the tumultuous seas wliich have sometimes threatened to png nH us, wo have still found satisfaction and pleasure throughout all our voyage. It is easy, wo know, thus to become philosophers after the goal of success has once been reached; but it Is oar modest opinion that the goal would nev- er have been reached without somewhat of this pluck and singleness of purpose which our philosophy teaches. That Thb New Yobk Cufpeb is to-<lay the leading dramatic and sporting journal of America is due, we think, largely to this fact: From its earliest issue it has occupied a clearly defined position—a field which it has been content to cultivate without encroaohing upon the chosen territory of others. This steadfastness of purpose has enabled It to concentrate its energies, to furnish complete and trustworthy reports of those events which come within its province, and to make constant improvement in its several de- .^wtments. New features have been^added time to time, but the main p been lost sight ol. fYn"*** By who la the richcat man la the' , 'B.~iL. LoBtoville.—1,1 Bnither«,and ■onsofthe elder Janina3ratiia Booth, a.

As in the past, it will present, each week, a complete summary of dramatlo and sporting news. As in the past, it will seek to fuiiilsh accurate information on all subjects properly Included within Its scope. The Stage has found, and will continue to find, an earnest champion in The Clipfeb. ' No snaiUng critl- clBms, prompted by petty jealousy or personal spite, will mar its colomns. Keither will it seek to curry favor by fulsome flattery. These things do not help tho dnuna, but tend rather to bring it into disrepute. For the ball-flcld, the turf, boating, pedestrianlsm, and all other forms of outdoor sports, tho same care as heretofore will be exercised in making our reports thorough and satlsfactoiy.UThe game of baseball, which has had its origin since the foundation of Tee Cuppeb, bas attained to such remarkable popularity as to justify us in devoting a considerable proportion ot space to this sub- ject. During tho forthcoming season we Bboll continue to print reports of all the more important games, together with such comments as the circumstances may seem to demand. As each department of the paper Is under the Immediate supervision of men pe- culiarly adapted for their special work, the reader may be assured that no single feature will be made to overbalance the others. We shall continue to mete out wisdom to all who seek it through tho correspondents' column; and the freshest and best of original contribu- tions, both in the way of prose and verso, will find a prominent place in these pages. All this, it will be observed, is nothing moro than a continuance of the old policy. Perhaps we should add that wc have no promises to mako for tho future. Porlor-oigans, chjomos and dictionaries are capital things in their way, but we cannot undertake to supply them to our patrons. Our ambition never soared to that height Kor have we ever been guUty of a fveakncES for the spread-eagle prospectus. Bather have wc sotight to make every issue of the paper a promise in itself'—every column a prospectus. So shall we endeavor to do here- after. 'With the kindliest feelings towards those who may take passage with us, and strong in the confidence which success inspires, we sail forth upon another voyage. No longer through untried waters does Tas Cuppeb cleave its vray- Now Ifl the course familiar and the chan- nel plain and straight. The shifting tides of lime will not drive the staunch vessel upon the rocks. It will sail bravely on, long after the hand that nowliolds the helm has relaxed Its grasp forever.
