 N. Y. Tribune: The worlds fair finance committee have finally agreed upon and , made public an elaborate form of words tc which circumspect citizens may safely ap pend subscriptions to the guarantee fund
 It must be evident to all that the response to this appeal will go far to determine
 New York's claim and chances to obtain , the prize. If a generous stream of contri
 buttons now begins to flow and continues
 undiminished until the books are full, congress and the country will reckon the fact at it's full value. If subscribers loitel and are niggardly the fair will almost in f evitably be held elsewhere or not at all. George W.
