NEV.YORK AND TIE GAIR.

The time seems to have arrived for some
formal action looking to general stimulation
in this State Of interest in the Worlds Fair.
Plans for the New-York headquarters building
having been selected, tangible guarantee has
been furnished of our share in the Exhibition I;
and tho circumstances under which the Fair
went to Chicago render it peculiarly fitting that
that share should be notable and conspicuous.
As President Charles s. Smith, of the Chamber
of Commerce, said at the Union League Club
dinner, NEWCOMERS should bo influenced by
sef-nterest, as well as patriotic sentiment, to
do their best, and President Baker, Of the Chi
cago Board, aptly suggested that New Workers
have rarely had better opportunity incidental
" TO serve themselves while helping on great
National enterprise.
Chcago's zeal and earnestness are well under
stood, and NewYorkers generally long ago
stopped thinking Of churshly refraining from
active participation, if any considerable num-
Der of them ever entertained the idea Late
reports, however, do not indicate that they
have fully improved their opportunities. While
other States and foreign countries have been
quick to beSpeak space for their exhibits, less
than seven hundred applications had been re-
ceived from this entire State to the end Of
May Of these 472 came from this city The
number has doubtless been appreciably aug
mented during June but considering that the
official allotment will now soon begin, intend
ing exhibitors who have not yet applied have
clearly no time to lose. II is OPPORTUNITY re-
called that at Philadelphia, in 1875, there were
754 New-York exhibitors, and judging from
the actual accomplishment to date the present
Exhibition will certainly far eclipse all prede-
cessors in point of size and excellence as well
as in commercial and historical Importance
The hardness of the Democratic Legislature
at Albany in voting the State appropriation,
long after tiny commemorative like Vermont
and Delaware had responded, is Of course to
blame for the present emergency. The hope
less inadequacy of the appropriation is already
apparent, and unless the next Legislature eff
fectively supplements il, the dignity and in
terest of this State may be seriously compro-
missed. to say nothing of individual damage and
embarrassment At this moment, however it
is essential that the space question should be
laid plainly before the public, and prompt
and vigorous presentment from official sources
we believe would now produce the happiest
results. In a few weeks the heat of the DO
litical campaign will be reached and other
issues temporarily obscured. Any effective ap-
peal must therefore be made at once, as the
local managers, who have throughout worked
30 assiduousy in the Fair interest, will no doubt
readily conceive. IL would be especallv I'm
