New York Wants a World Fair,

Undeterred by the sad experience on
PrIs delphia with the SesQuicentennial
Of fNes business men in New York are
proposing the organization Of world
fair in that city III 1882 on the occasion
Of the anniversary of the birth OF
George Washington A meeting has
iust been held by representatives of I'M
portant mercantile organizations and
committee he's been appointed TO wait
upon Mayor Walker to urge the forn1a-
ton of another committee of citizens
to oct 2rmine the ACCESSIBILITY Of such an
enterprise. Some time ago the Brook
I'm Chamber Of Commerce considered
the matter, but voted in the negative
because of the failure of the Sesquicen-
tennial in Philadelphia. However,
private organization was formed TO agi-
tate for a great air in Marine Park, in
Brooklyn Apparently this step has
stimulated the present endeavor to make
the proposed celebration one Of city
wide proportions
Office. is Greater New York's official
r~eeter and has figured in the news
frequently during the past year IN the
welcoming Of aviators and other celeb
rites. is one of the movers of this plan.
When asked whether it was not rather
futile to try to advertise New York by
means Of a fair. he is reported to nave
thun1ped his desk vigorously and re-
piled that New York could never be ad-
vertised enough. He advanced the
opinion that New York is the logical
place for the celebration because George
Washington was inaugurated In that
city. which was the first seat of the
Government He undoubtedly had IN
mind the fact that Congress has pro-
vided for an official celebration of the
anniversary of washington's birth in
1882 with this city as the central point
washington has no desire to go into
the world fair business on the scale
Of recent enterprises Of this character
as local undertaking. It is, however
confident that the national notation Of
the George Washington anniversary will
be large and impressive demonstration
of the love and respect of the American
people for him who is known as the
Father of His Country" If other
cities, New York in particular, wish to
mark the occasion by great assemblage
of industrial exhibits, with State and
National buildings and amusement
features, for advertising purposes, they
are. of course, to be given the best
wishes Of the Capital for their en-
deavors. But world fairs" are dubious
investments in publicity Phiiadelpfia's
experience was a sad one. Other cities
have suffered heavy losses through their
exposition enterprises and the feeling
prevails that these big booming demon
s atoms are somewhat outdated They
cost millions of dollars and sometimes
leave heavy debts that are never fully
liouidated. New York would undoubted-
ly put I'D an immense show and would
draw tremendous crowds. But II GER
tainly cannot want more population,
and it is already doing more than It's
share of the Nations business, and is
hard put to accommodate those engaged
In il. However, if the business men OF
Manhattan and its sister boroughs are
bent upon capitalizing the George WASH
ington anniversary for business pur-
poses there is no one TO say them nay.
