THE "woKLD's FAIR" SITE CONTEST.
The contest over the site for the
Worlds Fair is still waging holly i'll New
York, and number of prominent CAPT
talists are now interesting themselves in
the rivalry between the different sections
wrangllng for the site. In order to shut
off some of the mighty horde OF land
s0eculators who are urging all sorts OF
interested schemes upon the Committee
on Site, the Executive Committee has
announced that, for the present at least.
no site outside the city limits OF New
York will even be considered.
This is a facer for several of the real
estate pools and syndicates that were in
hopes OF getting their projects up before
the committee, backed by influence. 1t
is not Mt all certain, however, that they
are more than temporarily beaten OIL,
and that q suburban site will not yet be
chosen
RIVERSIDE PARK AND PORT NORRIS.
Meanwhile, there is considerable fric-
ton among the members Of the commit
tee themselves, and it would look as
though the feeling OF speculation had
entered to some extent into its delibera-
tons The gentlemen composing the
Executive Committee ere all of too high
character to permit any attempt to
subordinate the real interest of the city
to the schemes Of individuals; at the
same tiue the exclusion of report
ers from their sessions has not con-
cealed the fact that they are far from
being a unit as TO where the site should
be located. Two are said to favor River
side Park, one is for Port Morris, while
still others are believed to want lnwood.
1t is about settled that it will 60 to the

roads from the North, South. and West.
and for the European steamship lines
also.
CHAIRMAN FLOWERS VIEWS.
Ex-CongressInan and ex-Presidential
Candidate Boswell Pettibone Flower is
the temporary chairman OF the Execu-
tive Committee on site. He is an active
advocate of some site on the west side
OF the city, and gives a railroad-man s
reasons for his preference. At the same
time he believes that any OF the sites
thus far suggested would do, provided 1t
has all the necessary water and railroad
facilities.
Fifteen million dollars will be raised
for the fair" said Mr.. Flower, land
none Of the business subscriptions will
be less than $4,000. The Finance
Committee will make its report in three
weeks or month, and then the money
will pour in from every side. We will
not need any help from other States,
from the State Legislature. or the Ma
tiOnal Government We will be willing
to contribute twenty times what is &C
tually needed right here in New York.
DON'T CARE ABOUT CHICAGO.
"Chicago? | don't care anything
about Chicago. It's New York we think
about. Chicago stands no comparison
a. a place for the fair. You couldn't
centre the manufacturing interest IN Chi
cago as well as you can here in New
York, and you couldn't get foreigners to
travel a thousand miles inland. Yet
there isn't manufacturer in Chi
cago who shows his wares here
who will not be amply repaid for his
trouble. believe it will do Chi
cago more good TO have the fair in New
York than to have it in Chicago. But |
recognize that Chicago is great city,
and one that is bound to be even greater.
Within twenty years more people Will
live within three hundred miles OF
Chicago than in any place OF similar
size in the United States. But when
the people talk of having fair they
come here for the purpose of having the
benefit of the manufacturing centre,
although Chicago is q great manufac-
turing city now. She manufactures
nearly as much steel as the whole Of
England. / have no doubt that Chicago
will give way to the greater advantages
possessed by New York, and the manu-
featuring display here is sure to be i'm
mense. All OF the New England manu-
features, those of Pennsylvania, and
other large centres together will make
it the greatest aggregation OF manu-
featuring interests ever witnessed.
AN ENORMOUS REVENUE.
"Then," added Mr. Flower, the re-
venue to be derived will be something
enormous, and tho benefit TO accrue to
manufacturers will be in proportion.
The Centennial at Philadelphia brought
manufacturers over from Europe to show
their wares in tins country. When they
came they saw manufactures which very
few people believed we had in thus coun-
try. They were impressed accordingly.
The result was of the utmost benefit to
our manufacturer. AS an illustration:
The Globe Woollen-Mills in Utica
found so many new customers for
