The Claims of New York.
Population statistics have a peculiar | fascination for the American citizen-Mon. Everybody has heard of the "population clubs" which seek to raise the cities in which they exist higher in the statistical sce. This is often the form taken by competition between neighbouring com munities, and the standard adopted is simest invariably an American ano. It is different with New York, which holda an unchallengeable position as the most populous city in the United States, Sull New York has a population passion; it is its ardent wish to stand as the head of the cities of the world. Its wonderful rowth In the last few decades has al ready given it second place on the list., It has a greater population than any of the teeming communities of the East, and it has outdistanced Farix, Berlin and ail the other great eitioe on the Continent Europe. London alamo stands in tho wair its ambition. Twenty years ago
