The New York Tribune of May S
1st says: "he committee in
charge of the New York exposition
for 1SS3 have selected a plat near
Port Morris, Westchester county.
They find there the requisite num-
ber of acres ot unoccupied land, j
iipppisirv f:ipilities of nnroaf.h
.necessai lacinues oi appro.icn ,
i)y water and land, and other
-sad vantages, making the spot
peculiarly eligible for the site
-of he great exposition. The
'flfnen Avbo are pushing this en
terprise seem to be thoroughly in
earnest. The act of incorporation
which congress is to be asked to
pass, is prepared, and the New
'York exposition of 1883, which
will celebrate the one hundredth
anniversar3r of Great Britain's for
jnal acknowledgment of American
.independence, ma be looked upon
.as a coming reality.

Among the unusually tyrannical
