The English Fair was held London. and not IN
Manchester In Leeds The Austrian Worlds Fair was

Tho American Worlds Fair ought to be held In New

IN have hofss sense No sane business would give
great show In Bowery garden whcn he could have the
Metropolitan Opera House terms. NewYork

General H. l. Kimball, who was director general OF
the Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, in 1881. told how
the South had been benefited by that enterprise. At
the Fair Of 1902 the south would astonish tho world
with an exhibition OF hor newly developed resources.

which the Fair could be held successfully. Money
subscribed now was we'll invested, not given away.

In this city As all these people would have TO be
transported to and from the Exposition General
Kimball thought that the great trans portaton COM
panics should subscribe large proportion Of the
money needed. Worklngmcn, he sald should not be
asked to subscribe from their earnings They would

lished The only city, he said that could rival New
Yorks claims was Washington Sentiment might
favor Washington, but judgment would carry the day

that II should take 50 long TO raise 30 900 900 in New
York. and II was shame TO ask wOrklngmen TO
contribute from their small means. The spOra-
lion companies and the rich men should furnish all
the money needed Mr.. MOrehead Offered resolution
declaring It b be the OF the meeting that the
guarantee fund should b, raised to s0 0O0 900 This
was unanimously carried another resolution
providing for the appointment Of committee OF twen-
y-hve TO petition Congress TO decide in favor Of New
York.
Lawson n. Fuller made Characteristic speech.
Among the reasons he gave why the Fair should not
DC given 10 Chicago St. Louis that both places
we're too far away from the Bowery"
