SLOWLY GAINING ON
WORLDS METROPOLIS

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-While New
YORK city, according TO the English CEN
sus returns of 1909, still Is 1852, ,SS7 be-
hind London in the race for the greatest
city OF the world, she Is so far ahead
OF the other great cities of the globe
that there is no likelihood of any OF them
catching her in many decades.
The census of 1909 showed Greater
London's population TO be 7429,440, as
against 6,5Sl,3I2 in 1901, That New
York is slowly catching London is shown
by the fact that In eight years London's
increase was S4S,3GS. while that of New
York in ten years was 1,S29,6S
Paris: according 10 the census OF 1906
was the third largest city In the world
with population of 2,763,393, while
Toxic shows In the census OF 1908 as
fourth with 2.0S6,279, Berlin in 1905 had
u population OF 2,040,14s
Leaving aside the figures OF large
cities, New York City now has a popula-
ton greater than many of the countries
OF the world. For instance Australia In
1908 had within its borders 4,275.3O6 per-
sons, exclusive Of aborigines, while Ire
land last year had population of 4374
los. Bulgaria In 1908 showed u census
of 4,16S.i09. and Denmark and Greece.
respectively, had 1853 900 and 2.G32 900
subjects Of their kings. Norway in the
same year was populated by 1850. .TS6
persons, and Switzerland by 1853. 600.
