eeved and assured The committee that as Seh,r3a,
Park was now safe, the balance of the fund coulo
be raised easily within ten days. Routine repor'e
were read from different committees.
John Clanin said that he had no doupt that une
fund would be quickly raised now that the safety
of Central Park had been finally assured. no
entire balance of the fund should be raised within
a week, and it could be accomplished s s IL
every member of the committee would devote

decided that Central Park should not be en-
croached upon. and that the Art Museum, the
Museum of Natural History, and proposed
Botonical Garden in the Park should be USED only
as exterior adiuncts to the Fair he conld see no
reason why the project should be further OPP

seem like little putting tugs.
Mr. Flower explained the little game Of blsf,
Ms he called it, that the Site Committee had
PLAYED in order TO secure enough private lands
without using Central Park. A. good business
men, he said the committee were not going " to
give away their hand at the start.
G. Waldo Smith made ringing speech. saying
that the question Of finance was Of supreme
importance; The guarantee fund must inst be
raised, and then there should be some such
hustling7 as was being done by Chicago and
George ]. Seabury, too, made speech that
called forth much applause. We must wake
up our old Rip Van Wrinkles he said, - and DO
some 'hustling' that will ont-'hustle' Chicago"
H. s Mendelson declared that IL was shame
that the guarantee fund had not already been
raised. but he had no doubt that it would now
be raised speedily
the merchants Of tlse South were in favor of
having the Fair held in New-fork because they
did Their trading here, but they would go whers
the claims OF tbs city as soon as the guarantee
fund was raised.
