The unprecedented success with which
the Times has met, since its establish
ment, is convincing evidence that the
people Of the West and South, fully ap.
preciate the efforts Of Journal, which,
in addition to its enterprise az a news
paper, has the courage to boldly declare
and constantly maintain the principles
Of its political faith.
The public journal mostly deserving Of
Democratic support is the one that, in
addition to being q full and faithful and
consistent advocate Of Democratic prin-
;,iples. A Democratic newspaper is the
newspaper for Democrats to support, and
sae idea sometimes sought to be iucalca-
ted by those who have an interest Of their
own in doing SO that the people mnst 60
outside their party organ to "tiud the
news" is absurd and irrational. There
isno sort of incompatibility whatever
between the political and non-political
journal az to the matter Of news; many
Of the papers now published throughout
the country, and especially valuable for
.;ie amount anil variety Of their intel
'iyence, tring also known for the ability
aud earIestness with which they cham.
Ton their peculiar party views. Hence
I'LL things else being equal, it is manifest
" the duty of Democrats to limit their
newspaper patronage to such as are Of
their own way Of Thinking. and MT to
sqnanfler their means OH those that wage
constant warfare upon their established
convictions.
1t is our desire to sec the Times in the
land ofall Democrats, and every we'll.
wishrr Of the Government throughout
!ac land, and in order that this may be
done, We are now offering the following
extraordinary Inducements to those who
will interest themselves and net in the

MINIATURE YACHTING.

PLEASANT DAY AT PROSPECT PARK.
The little folk had decidedly pleasant time yesterday
at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. delicious breeze kept
everybody cool and kept the little yachts running at
rate of speed rather astonishing in such diminutve
craft The first between the schooner yachts
Mermaid Prancer and Quickstep The yachts were
fairly matched and made good start The Prancer
little the avore in the pools with the Mermaid
second The boats kept well together until the point
was reached, and here all three came nearly
to dead stand, but finally, by the aid of
the judges, they were sent their way again,
the Mermaid in the lead, advantage she maintained
until the close OF the The second was be-
tween the Eleanora and the Nettie and the best
contested of the day. The little vessels behaved
splendidy and made the fastest time that made
on the lake Not an accident happened to either of
them and they did full justice TO their builder Tho
Eeanora tho by about five lengths in I'm liza
The third race WAS between the Brooklyn Belle and the
Plover, and was very fairly contested run, though a
little difficulty was caused in getting them or Probably
there more excitement this than tho
others from the fact that both of the yachts have been
victorious in hard contested matches The Pover the
avorte from the start and she proved herself worthy
of the confidence placed in her by her admirers She
took the lead from the first and kept the end of the
race, winning in 9m 23s. by nearly dozen lengths.
Next Saturday there Is TO DO grand regatta the
