CORRESPONDENCE.

The Automatics,

[To The Editer of Hongkong Telegraph.]

Sir,--Re the statement by an official of the Telephone. Company giving an explanation regarding the faulty working of the new automatic system, my experiences with the telephones may be of in- terest to your readers, M

On Monday last in the premises of the Chinese Club I made eight attempts to get in touch with a subscriber. There are two tele- phone instruments in the Club, and I used them both. In the case of the first instrument, the first three attempts to get through resulted in the dialling tone continuing its merry tril after I had finished dial- ling in the prescribed manner. The fourth try resulted in dead silence. The second instrument: also gave me the dialling tone after I had finished spinning the dial around, the third try gave me the Line Engaged tone, while at the fourth attempt I heard the Ringing Tone. but before I could get an answer from the subscriber called. some employee of the Telephone Company chipped in and told me the line was "engaged."

I then made my way to the offices of a friend, a professional stan,' to use his phone. Here again the results were disappointing.

To forestall the charge that I might not have used the telephone correctly I will say that I used one method only, the correct one. And It is also fair to say that during the last three days I have had calls put through properly, but this, of course, only shows that my dialling was in order but that there must be something radically wrong with the phone system since I used the same method of dialling through-

out.
