LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE EXHIBITION OF 1888.
KEEP NEAR TIE WATER.

To the EdttOr or Ths Trtouhs.
SIR: In this mornings TRIBUNE / observe some
timely suggestions as to the International Exhibit
ton to be held in this city in 1883.
Much thoughtful attention has already been given
to the question of q suitable site for the
Exhibition, and l sure you viii
confer favor on all who agree with
YOU on the necessity of securing grounds with
water front by reprinting brief extract from your
own columns. II is part of letter from Mr. Rich
ard II. Mccormick, published in The TRIBUNE a.
long ago April 10. 1870.
"A great desderatum il a river front where heavy
pieces of machinery aud bulky goods may be
unloaded directly from vessels and reloaded, thereby
avoiding extra handling and terminal charges, which
are usually high and Objectionable to exhibitors
Much delay and expense in the customs examine
tions Of goods from foreign countries would be
avoided If the vessels bringing them and returning
them could 90 directly to the Exhibition grounds.
Indeed the Exhibition buildings might be
made bonded warehouses. and thus any ex-
animation of the goods rendered unnecessary
except in eases of removal beyond the limits OF the
Exhibition. Moreover q waterfront and landing
upon the East or North River wodld he great
accommodation 70 visitors who might come IN steam
boats from many parts Sf New-York. New-Jersey and
New England. TO these persons VINO would spend but
a day at the Exhibition, it would undoubtedly be a
relief to escape the delay cost ana Inconvenience OF
