Secretary George Wilson, of tho Finance Committee,
worked hard all day yesterday sending out the subscrp
ton books He received from tho printers during
the day sixty of tho ledgersze and 300 of the pocket
size books of which number, however, IT was found
possible to send out only small proportion, owing TO
the limited clerical force at the secretary command.
Copies of the larger books sent TO all Of the
Exchanges in the lower part Of the city, and to
number of banking firms and corporations.
! With so many books being circulated, 1t IS already
becoming difficult TO keep accurate account Of tho
daily subscriptions. Mr.. Wilson, secretary OF tho
Finance Committee, urgently requests all Institutions
persons having charge of books to report to him
| at the Chamber OF Commerce any subscriptions re-
| ceived up to IL a. m. and p m. each day. IL no
subscriptions ar, received by those hours reports
neod be sent IN, but all amounts subscribed should
be promptly reported Reports can BIO sent by messen-
| ger or by telephone
In common with the other newspapers OF the city,

ing POST on Thursday 1t returned to Secretary
Wilson yesterday without word Of explanation. Re
porters who inquired at the Office of the paper for
the reason for this were Informed that no
subscriptions would be received there, under any
circumstances long there was cause to believe
that part of Central PARK might DO lucluneu III
| the Exposition site.
The guarantee fund is merely an evidence OF good
faith the subscriptions to which will be included
among those the fund 10 be raised later on by The
perfeced organization. There has been some appre-
hension among committeeman that the public might
consider the present subscriptions too small and thus
be disappointed. When 1t Is remembered, however
that the guarantee fund Of S. 100000 is preliminary
! fund TO which other large amounts are TO be added
after Congress has officially recognized New-fork as
| tho site for the Exposition, it will be seen that the
contributions now being received are only an indca-
ton Of willing ncss the part of the subscribers 10
| do their share toward furthering the project

all in their power TO secure the desired area OF land
public and private, for the site, and at their next
meeting on Tuesday may be prepared to say Just now
