 Other Rivals.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Comparative figures completed by the United States census bureau show that New Britain. Conn. by its gain of 35 per cent in population, in the last ten years, not only climbed from 125th to 117th place among American cities, at the census date last January, but if it has kept up the same rate, of in- crease since then, has already over- taken Holyoke. Mass, and wrested from it 117th place.
 New Britain, climbing in ten years from 43,916 to 59,316, gained an average of 1 ,540 a year. Holyoke, which only led New Britain SS7 at the census date, has been gaining at the rate of only 247.3 a year giving New Britain a net gain of 1,292.7 over Holyoke, which was enough to catch it in less than eight months from the census date.
 But in climbing from 125th to 117th place, New Britain has done more than pass eight rivals. In the meantime four cities, some of which in 1910 were not even to be consid cred in New Britain's class, have taken the lead over her and those be- low her.
