Show Keproducing a Relic. Mr. James Dwycr, lust night, handed hand-ed us a j'ur .simile of the first copy of the Xew York Jhratd ever issued, which has. been reproduced by Frank Leslie for presentation with one of his numerous publications. It is a four page, sixteen column, readable-looking little sheet, bearing date '"" New York, AYcdncsday morning, Hay 6, lS-xi;" " price one cent;" and ns the editorial announcement says, was published by " Jas. Gordon Bennett & Co." at $3 per year, six cents a week. Contrasting this diminutive little paper with the mammoth quadruple quad-ruple sheet of the Ik raid issued today, to-day, whose agents are in every corner of the globe, one may form some idea 1 of the growth at once of New York and of journalism in the past thirty-eight thirty-eight years. |
