Music by DOLORES. , y ¿_4_5 York xorx largest city on the western continent is known to every one, but there are other New York facts of which many Ameri cans are Ignorant. The central fact has been stated thus: There are more New Yorkers living outside of the city proper than in it. This were some time a para dox, but the eleventh census makes it very plain. Another, and perhaps a better, way of stating it would be thus: If all the people who live in the metropolitan district and make New York their place of business and pleasure could be counted in it, as is done in London, New York would rank next to London among the world’s cities, and not very far behind it. The circle of cities and suburbs which are prac tically parts of New York is divided by rivers, bays, ridges and “flats,” leaving them in different counties and states, and requiring engineering of the very 'highest order to combine them in one municipality. The Hudson is fully ten times as large as the Thames at Westminster bridge, East river is many times as large as the Thames at its western entrance to Lon don and in all the London vicinity there is no elevation to compare with Hoboken ( heights. Yet the people of Brooklyn, of Staten Island's towns, Jersey City, New ark and the Orangee are every whit as much New Yorkers as the people of Chelsea, Kensington and Greenwich are Londoners. The annexed table, therefore, presents the real population of the American me tropolis. The city hall in New York is taken as a center and a circle drawn around it with a radius of thirty miles. Within that radius the people live on the business done in New York city, and about 600,000 of them are in the city ever}’ day. Trains leave their stations every half hour or so of mornings and return in the same order of evenings. Soliciting Celestial Customers • cf L i :uess.
