Officii of 'Wilkes’ Spirit, 
New York, Juno 11th, 
Wilkes' Spikit of tiie Times will this week resume its 
original title, and appear as 
THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES. 
Its publication was originally made under this title, nearly 
fifty years ago, and it ran under this title for about thirty 
years, acquiring a standard position and great prosperity. 
Its title was then changed to Pouter’s Spirit, in compli¬ 
ment to the able man who had been its founder. At the 
death of Mr. Porter, in 1858, its name was changed to- 
Wilkes’ Spirit; and now, after ten years of unexampled 
prosperity, it returns to its original title, thus uniting the 
merit and authority of all its forms of being, and represent¬ 
ing the sole and only recognized sporting authority of the 
Western hemisphere. It is but proper to add, that its present 
editor and the incomparable corps of writers who are now 
connected with it, some of whom have been attached to it 
for years, will remain, as heretofore, associated with its for¬ 
tunes. George Wilkes, 
Editor and Proprietor of Tiie Spirit of the Times.

man’s weekly newspaper, devoted to Hunting, Racing. Out¬
