BIG REGISTRATION GAIN.
Marked Increases in Al the Bor-
oughs-Dau,s Total 1891.

In the first three days of registration in this
city 573,571 electors have qualified for voting,
beating all records for three days In all previous
years. II is expected that the record. will be
broken again to-daS.
Yesterdays record of registration 1897
in Manhattan and The Bronx. 1926 In Brook
lyn. 1,2S1 in Queens and 2.937 In Richmond. The
total for the day in the city was 1861.
The registration for three days shows a gain
for the corresponding days over 1900, the last
Presidential year in ali the bOroughs. and indi-
Gates an unusually large Republican vote in the
city on November s next The gain in registra
tion is mainly in Republican districts or In dis
tricts in which the Republican vote has been in
creasing rapidly in recent years.
The XXIIId District, in which the population
and the Republican vote have been growing rap
idly in gratifying harmony. is 5155 ahead of
the registration for three days in the last Presi-
Dental year. The XXXIst District another big
Republican district, Is s. 739 ahead of the record
Of four years ago
In the XXIst District last night the registra-
tion WAS 20,595. 1907 ahead of the registra-
tion for three days IN 1900. This is the district
which gives the largest Republican majorities
The population of the district has been increas-
ing rapidly IL recent years.
The IId District. containing many cheap lodg-
ling houses which has been the scene OF many
Tammany election frauds in rast years. and
which has been called the banner district of the
Democracy on account of the big matorities it
has returned. shows u decrease in the registra-
ton for three days Of sol, as compared with
1900
Several other districts which are Tammany
strongholds show large losses in registration
this year from previous years The comparison
is marked in districts in which the population
has not increased.
Registration in Brooklyn yesterday for the
third day was 1926 as compared with 40
1919 the last Presidential year, an Increase Of
3.721. This was In spite OF a slow registration
early in the day on account of the rain The
total registration for the first three days this
year is 2O5,7 ,70S compared with 194.9S1 four
years ago. This is an increase of 1921 The
indications are that the entire registration will
go much beyond the figures of 1900, if to-day is
pleasant. Almost all Of the districts yesterday
showed an increase over the third day in 1899
The greater number Of those showing decreases
are democratic. The gains are particularly
good in the Republican districts
