Porto Rico is divided, for the
purpose of lacal government, in
to SO districts, called municipal
tiles. These municipalities con-
sist generally of a central set
Element with outlying rural dis
tricts, though in the case of
San Juan there are no rural dis
tricts. Each municipality has a
government which embraces the
central settlement and the out
lying districts. The division be-
tween the towns and villages and
the remainder of the municipali-
ty is a physical and not a politi-
cal distinction.
The SO municipalities of Porto
Rico in 1910 ranged in popula-
ton from 1915 in Culebra to Co.,
444 in Ponce. Sixty-three NUM-
cipalities had increased in popu-
lation since 1899, while five
municipalities showed a de-
crease.
The gross area Of Porto RIGA,
land and water, including the ad-
iacent and dependent islands, is
3,435 square miles. The popula-
ton per square mile in Porto
Rico in 1910 was 1855 and in
1899 PITS. The population per
square mile in 1910 was more
than ten times as great as in the
United States proper, exclusive
of all outlying possessions. and
more than three times as great
as in New England.

 It was in 1913 that Westminster School, in England, founded the Water Ledger and organized the crew for the
 s1x-oared Fly. For three years this
 boat held the field, and it's races were
 against time. In 1916 the first match race was held, Westminster Schools
 crew beating the Temple six-Oar craft
 by half a length. In 1913 Eton had a ten-oar boat and two eight-Oar craft, but engaged in no race until 1816 when the Etonians defeated a, crew of professional watermen. In 1918 Eton challenged Westminster, but the au- thor1t1es butted in and stopped the race. and it was not until 1929 that the two schools met on the water OK ford introduced rowing about 1915, and Cambridge a little later.
 Two years hence, August, 1915, will mark the bi-centenary of the rowing sport, although for nearly a, century it was confined to professional water men. Before 1715 the only concern of a boatman was to get from where he was to where he wasn't, and speed wasn't any more of an object to him than to a messenger boy. On Aug. 1, 1T15, Doggett's Coat and Badge was first raced for The prize, a red coat with a large silver badge, was offered by Thomas Doggett, the comedian, and competition was confined to young watermen who were not to have exceeded the time of their ap- premiership by more than 8 year,
 The boat-racing pastime in America began about 8 century ago, although in 1911 there was four -oared barge race between New York and Long Island crews which excited a, lot of enthusiasm. Am erica's first amateur crew was organized in New York in 1884 by the Castle Garden Amateur Boat Club. Harvard and Yale first took up rowing in earnest seventy years ago. The National Association of Amateur Oarsmen was launched forty years ago, in 1873, and it's an- nual regatta was organized on lines similar to the Royal Henley of Eng land, except that 1t is rowed diff ferent courses each year.
