THE SITE FOR THE OBELISK.
To fhe Editor or The Tribune.

SIR: l agree entirely with the suggestion
in THE TRIBUNE that it would be serious bunder TO
put the Egyptian obelsk anywhere within the enclosure
of Central Park The proper place for is in the Plaza
at the Fhave entrance to the Park 1t Is true as you
say, that monoth of this character has no proper
place upon an emnence In such situation 1t would
resemble tombstone monument and as such IL would
be offensiye to correct taste and good feeling.
We shall do well to follow in tns respect the correct
example set by the French people placing the obeisk
Of Luxon within the Place de la Concorde. Here
people can see 1t, and no Is obliged to ask upon
whose grave stands this stone spire
l sincerely hope the Park Commissioners VIII recon-
sGer this matter Central Park should afford no restn
place for works OF this sort Its rural character s al
ready marred by that have no right to be
there and cizens should earnestly protest against
any further violence being done 10 this noble pleasure
ground. Very respectfully, :. IL. WALLIS
