IIOSTON, July 15. A compilation of 1920 consus return, covering what li generally known as Qreater Boston shows that the population ot Boston and It. '.uburbs ha. now reached at most exactly 1,600,000. Unlike most of the larger cities or the country. Boston has annexed very little ot the territory Immediately adjoining nnd ha. a total area ot only 47.8 square miles, aa compared with 187 .qu.ro mile, in Oreater New York. The Boston metropolitan district, fevering an area within a 15-mlle radius from tho .tatehouse, Includes 26 cities and towns In addition to Boston proper. Tho 1920 population of all of these oxcept Watertown has boon announced nnd tho total I. 732,541 for the suburbs. Wutor town'a population as recorded by tho tato cen.u. ot 1915 was 16,515, a gain of 3,640 over 1910. If it mado u similar gain In the last flvo years, It would now have 20,155 Inhabit ants. This, added to the other sub urb. and to the 747,923 population of Bo.ton, would make a total ot 1,500,619. The percentage of growth of most of tho suburbs ha. been much greater In the last decade than that ot Bo.ton Itself, due chiefly to tho fact that a far larger number of people whose dally bulla I.

The flrat race In 17 year for the America's cup will start tbl. morning off Saady . Hook, the contesting boat belag the cup defender Resolute, and (he chal lenger Sir Thomas S. Llpton's Sham rock IV. It may be Intereetbig as thlslme both to yachtsmen and to a gresfm.ny who an nor aeejMtmtsV -4 with this form of sport to read a few facts In connection with this historic yachting trophy. - To begin with tho America's cup at first was not an International trophy. In fact It bad no significance other than being a prize offered by the Royal Yacht squadron for a race around the Isle ot Wight, Eng., which w" PC, to all nations In August 1851 lne noner acht America. ens and tour other member, ot the New York Yacht club, won thl. race and the cup became their property; Six year, later. Commodore Steven and hi. associates conveyed the print to the New York Yacht club In trutt. as a perpetual International trophy which has since been known a. the Amerlca'a cup, taking Ita name from the schooner yacht which won It ta British waters. The first race for the America' cup. as an international prlxe, waa held on August 8, 1870, over the reg ular course of the New York. Yacht club in New York's lower bay. The challenging boat was Cambria, owned by Jamea Ashbury. ot the Royal Yacht squadron, Eng., and the cap waa defended by practically the whole fleet ot the New York Yacht dab. That, however, was the only race la which tha challenger ever had to sail against a fleet and the only conteat In which the Issue was decided by a single race. Cambria, by the way, finished tenth In that even while the old America finished fourth, the race being won by Magic, the yacht Idler finishing second. In all there have been 12 contest for the cup, In the second ot which Mr. Ashbury challenged with th schooner Livonia and the New York Yacht club agreed to defend the trophy with only one boat in the race. The 1871 coutest wu. the best four out of seven races. Livonia won a single race owing to the steering gear ot the defender Columbia breaking down. Only twice since that day, October 19, 1871, has a challenglnr yacht crossed the finish line ahead ot the defending boat. On September t 10, 1895, Valkyrie III after following the defender finished 1 minute nnd 16 seconds ahead of tbe American, boat and on October 4. 1901, Sham rock II finished two seconds ahead ot. Columbia but lost to the defends by rlrtue of conceding 41 seconds tlm allowaace. la the raoea ot 1876, till.
