Growth Of New York.

New York claims that by 1910 it
will have passed London in population
and will be the largest city in the
census being taken at present will
show that the city has passed the
1000. 900 mark. In 1901 London had a
population of 4.53G.541, while in 1900
New York had 3.427, ,202 people, not
counting the population Of Jersey City
and the other populous suburbs on the
New Jersey side. It would surprise
nobody, except possibly the Londoners.
II long before 1910 New York had be-
come the largest city in the world.
