ON THE 'PHONE TO AMERICA.

NEW DEVELOPMENT IN WIRELESS WONDERS.

Ability to talk to friends and business connections in America is now regarded as among the certain developments of wireless telephony in the near future, writes a Daily Chronicle repre- sentative.

At the same time a great acceleration in the rate at which wireless telegraphic messages con be sent is in contemplation, a speed of between 300 and 400 words a minute being already a possibility under certain condi- tions.

"The wonders of wireless have been dead, so far as the public is concerned. during the war. Now that peace has returned there is bound to be a tremendous advance in the near future, because both in regard to telegraphy and telephony there are practically no limits to its possibilities," said a high official of the Marcoci Company to the Daily Chronicle representative recently.

"It is already possible to speak from our station at Clifden, on the west coast of Ireland, to the wireless operators in the United States. Long-distance wire- less telephony is actually here, but the difficulties in the way of its commercial development are great. For instance, a person in London who wished to speak to New York would first have to get on the Post Office phone and get him- self put through to our station at Clifden, where the sound would be magnified many thousands of times and sent across the Atlantic. Whether the mos-age would he heard at the other end would depend, of course, on the condit- ion which it reached Clifden.

US by China for the use of the Chinese Government, who Ι can essure you, are fully alive to the possibilities of longdistance telephony. Ap- paratus will probably be installed shortly in the islands of the Greek Archipelago. Both here

and in China, wireless telephony will obviously be of far greater practical ase than the old method. which entails the laying down of miles of cables.

To come back to, telegraphy. I may say that we have recently established communication with Sydney. From the new Marconi Etation at Stavanger they are now sending the best signals get transmitted across the Atlantic automatically, at the rate of 150 words a minute or so. There is no doubt at all that messages will! be going across the Atlantic at 300 cr 400 words a minute in a very short time."

BARRY AND FELTON.

SECOND RACE.

Ernest Barry and Alfred Felton signed articles at the offices of the Daily Mail recently to meet in a return for the sculling cham- pionship On the Parramatta, Australia. The exact date has not yet been decided, but the race will take place before next September.

Barry's recent loss of his championship over the Putney to Mortlake course was, not without some reason, attributed to bad luck in drawing the worse station on a very unfavourable day. This, and his own lack of judgment in the race itself, gave Felton, who is certainly a very powerful, sculier, an exceptionally easy victory. Felton, however, showed splendid sportsmanship when he immediately offered Barry an opportunity to reverse the result, if he could, Australien waters. The only obstacle in the way was the considerable expense involved by Barry by having to travel to Australia. This difficulty has been largely removed by the enterprise, of the Daily Mail, which has not only offered £500, the amount Barry's stake money, but bas alsa collected over £800 towards his travelling and training ex- penses. About £700 is still re- quired for these purposes.

ot

Barry would seem to have a reasonable chance of bringing back the sculling championship to this country, for the Parramatta course is generally supposed to favour neither competitor, and the fact that sound judges have supported Barry in his decision to take part in another race sug- gests that he has not entirely lost the form that enabled him to beat Richard Arust, the New Zealand souller, on the Thames) after first baing beaton on the Zambesi.
