THE CENTRAL PARK SITE.
SOME DISADVANTAGES OF HOLDING FAIR on
SUCH UNEVEN GROUND.


SUCH UNEVEN GROUND.
TO the EdftOr Of The Trtbune.
Sir: | have read your articles about the Worlds
Fair with great deal of interest although l have no
property any proposed site see in The Tribune
of to-day that tho committee has determined
on site near the northwest corner of the Park
There are many and grave objections to this SITE |
know the spot well There is no more beautiful view
in the ncghborhoOd Of New-YOrk. But the committee
should not allow Itself to be carried away by en-
thusiasm about view People do not go 10 fair
10 see The view They go to the exhibits, and
the more level the land the easier the arrangement
OF the buildings All the great fairs have been held
on level ground. The Champ de Mars where the
present one in Par, IS being held is aS level As a
billiard table. Why should the difficulties and eX-
pcnsc of such an enterprise be Increased by difficulties
in the lay Of the ground
This site IS of the most rugged pieces Of ground
In the neghbOrhoOd of Now-York. It is proposed TO
connect Central with Mornngsde Park at one hundred
ard-tenth-st by means Of long bridge. The value
of the 240 proposed be taken outside Of the
park is forty millions Of dollars. Who're IS this TO
come FRONT Some interested persons may say that
the owners will lend the land, but, among many
owners, some Will REFUSE. some lkeouoIS! and
trustees of estates cannot consent. Nor Is IL Likely
ha the city VIII spend forty millions for 24o acres
Whn the pm chase OF several thousands OF acres for
nine millions recenty met with such opposition.
Although the site Is rot far from the centre of
the city, It IS not easy to reach for large of
people. II is TOO far TO walk. Aud the SlXthave
eleVhed has all II can do now. The two lines OF
street amount 10 but little The railroad Is not
on the ground, but near IT, Tho site has but one adj
vantage over Others prOpOScd-a magnificent view, and
wIl in my opinion. the fair to be failure.
