at his Office this morning by an EVENING
World reporter.
When asked about the site chosen Mr..
Flower waxed enthusiastic.
Look here, " he said, drawing out a small
mar of that part of the city lying above One
Hundredth street.
This end of the Park, =" and he pointed to
the extreme northern section of Central Park
bounded by One Hundred and Tenth street,
- is not improved. and it wouldn't hurt ii a
bit to have the buildings there. But better
still, these three or four blocks lying north
of One Hundred and Tenth street could be
condemned by the city and made an addition
TO the Park.
They are going to broaden One Hundred
and Tenth street and make 1t 100 feet wide.
Room enough for crowds 70 get through to
MorniugsidR and Riverside parks.
The spot eligible could he so accessible.
for the N. y. and N. H.. RR. and the New
Jersey roads could land their people right
across from Riverside Park.
That whole section has been already
macadamized. sewerage put down. gas. water
and everything. Along MorninGside Park
there would be dozens of Gates that command
a splendid view and would enjoy the purest
air.
People can get there for 10 cents. Why.
they can almost walk. All the newspaper
men, and l think something Of n newspaper
mans opinion. voted yesterday for this site
when | took the vote.
After the decision upon a site by the Com
mittee on Inspection II was esolved to eX-
pedite the final settlement of the question.
Summonses were sent out to each of the
twenty-five members of the Committee and
they were urged to be in the Governors
Room at the City Hall at /. 80 p. NJ. to-mor-

IT CHARMED THE COMMITTEE,

IL CHAINED ihE INN
While the members of the Committee
named above were viewing this proposed site
for the Fair practical Roswell P. Tower was
busy as a bee. He was completely capti-
waited by the plot and piled his fellowcom-
mitteemen with questions and arguments.
What would you do, as a business man,
If you were going to run this Fair as a per-
sonal business venture and wanted to draw
the biggest crowds possible 7"
But the victory was not won till crossing
over the broad and beautiful Boulevard to
Riverside Park the party assembled TO the
cupola of the Claremont Hotel.
From here their gaze was delighted. Below
and to the west of the park flowed the broad
and beautiful Hudson. beyond whose placid
waters were the Palisades and miles of Jer-
sey's wooded shores, reaching out as far as
the eye could see to the north and south, and
TO the east on either hand was a most mag
nifcent view of the city.
How else could the visitors be given in one
glance so grand a notion of the wonder of
our situation, the marvels of the metropolis ?
FINE WATER RoNT.
Riverside Park. extending along the river
for two miles, offered just the facilities for
water communication, so much to be de-
sired in q site for the great Quadri- Centen-
NAL Exhibition.
Ferries may be established at Eighty sixth.
Ninety-second, One Hundred and Twenty
fifth streets to land passengers within the Fair
grounds from the depots of the West Shore,
Erie, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio,
Jersey Central and other railroads having
their New York stations on the New Jersey
sido of the Hudson. and bulkheads and docks
may be erected for the use of transportation
companies from everywhere. The Hudson
| River boats would have landings here, and the
domestic steamer companies would be accom-
modated, too.
The parkway. for the construction of which
money has already heen appropriated. will
| connect the various sections of this site, and
the site will be accessible by way Of the cable
| and elevated roads and also by O dozen street
railway lines.
This site is not only within the limits of
New York City, but is on Manhattan Island,
so that all visitors to the Fair will be guests
Of the city, will visit the business portions of
the city. and must of necessity go away with
q much improved knowledge of the beauties
and resources of the greatest city Of the
Western World.
Such portions of this site as belong TO pri-
vate parties may be coded TO the city for the
purposes Of and during the continuance of
the Exposition. for they will be laid out in
streets and venues, severed and graded.
These avenues will be paved and gas and
water mains laid at the expense OF the Fair
management, but TO endure forever at no
cost to the owners of the now un,mproved
land.
