The First Census.

DEMONSTRATING in 1890 was no
such complicated business as it
has since become. Nowadays an
enormous number of questions is ask
ed by the enumerator, so that prac-
tically every detail of the life of
citizen which can be of use to the
student Of economics is recorded: but
when the second session of the First
Congress obeyed the constitutional
mandate to make an enumeration of
the people" it required little more
than the bare counting.
Free white males, sixteen years
and upward, including heads of fam
lilies; free white males, under sixteen:
free white females, including heads
of families; all other free persons.
slaves; SO reads the list prescribed.
The counting was left to the United
States marshals in the several dis
trfcts and no blanks were furnished
them. The marshals found their own
paper. AS a result. in the bound
volumes of the original schedules at
Washington there are some sheets
three feet long and some not more
than four inches: these are ruled by
hand, and with the names OF the lists
at the head of columns written by
hand.
When the British burned the Cap
itol in the war of 1912 the schedules
Of several states were lost-those of
Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New
Jersey, Tennessee and Virginia. The
rest are included in twenty-nine
bound volumes.
The total population at the time
of the frst census was 3,s2s.214, and
the area of the country. which, Of
course, did not include Florida or
l anything west OF the Mississippi, was
| S27,S44 square miles. and less than
a third of 1t was settled.

FORMER ATTENDANCE
MARKS MADE IN 1921

The world series attendance record
which was shattered in the annual
classic just ended was set in 1921
when 26s,997 persons paid to see the
Giants and Yankees play their eight
games at the Polo Grounds. This
mark surpassed by 17,740 the old
record of 252.237 established in 1912.
when the Giants and the Red Sox
played series of eight games.
The only other games in world series
history which attracted an attendance
Of more than 100000 was that be-
tween the Cincinnati Reds and the
Chicago White Sox in 1919, when
236.92S persons paid TO see the eight
contests.
The attendance at last years series
between the Giants and the Yankees,
when these two clubs played five
games at the Polo Grounds, was
1S5.947. These are the fourth largest
figures in the history of the annual
classic. being surpassed only by those
for 1912, 1919 and 1921.
Only in four years has the attend
ance fallen below 100000, and this
occurred in four consecutive years
1905. 1906, 1907 and 1908. The lowest
figures were 62,232, made in 1903
when the Detroit Tigers lost to the
Chicago Cubs in a series of five
games.
The attendance figures for previous
worlds series are as follows.

M'GRAW HAD CHANCE
TO SET new RECORD

For the second time during his
career John J. McGraw failed in a chance
to set a new managerial record for
winning worlds championships. If
the Giants had defeated the Yankees
McGraw would have piloted them to
three consecutive world titles, feat
that no manager in the history of the
game has accomplished.
The only managers in addition to
McGraw who have led their teams to
two successive worlds championships
are Frank so Change sds of the Gues' a WhP
Of the Athletics, who was victorious
In 1910 and 1911, and Bill Carrigan of
the Red Sox. who piloted his team to
the title In 1915 and 1916.
McGraw is the only manager who
has twice won three consecutive
league championships.
McGraw's career since going to
New York in 1902 is second to none.
as manager OF the Giants. McGraw's
team has been in the thick of the
pennant fight almost every season.
The Giants have won the pennant in
nine of the ,twenty-one years that
McGraw has been in command. They
finished in second place in eight
other seasons, were third once and
fourth twice. They finished their
campaign in the second division only
once. That was in 1915. when they
were In last place at the end of the
season.
McGraw has been in professional
base ball for thiTty-three years. He
started his career with the Olean club
of the New York State League when
seventeen years Of age. He joined the
Baltimore Orioles in 1891, and later
developed into a brilliant third base
man after being tried out at second
base. He was sold TO the St. Louis
club, together with Wilbert Robin
