The costumes were especially made for Mr.. wyndham

THE NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING.

70 he EdttOr or The Tri6Une.
Sir: The suggestion has been made that the city
buy the POsofiice Building in the Park and devote
1t to the purposes OF Municipal Building. It GER
iainy Is good suggestion and would solve the diff
cult prObem now vexing the public and the Com
mssioners. The city would secure all the accOmmO-
daons needed and all encroachments on the Park
would be prevented. The Government would then
be at liberty to select larger site, and erect another
building commensurate with its needs which have
already ougrowH the present Postofice Building.
Tho COMMITTEES that investigated the Postoflce re
quIemenis Of the city decided, / understand, that
larger building would soon be necessary for the
rapidly growing Postoiice business in New York.
Let the city purchase the present Posiolhce building
and turn il into the proposed Municipal Building,
and both the city and the General Government will
be accommodated, and no harm come to our park
