week. many who We're invited went to
the office of the New England Tele-
phone Company over the passenger
depot, and listened to the musical fes-
tlVel at Portland, which was trans
mitted over the wires. The effect was
something novel, though it was very
pleasing. The receivers were arranged
on the guard rail 50 that all who lis
tened sat in chairs facing the rail.
Some approached the place as though
they We're about to assist in some holy
rite. AS the receiver was placed to the
ear, and the magnificent strains of the
orchestra reached them, an ecstatic
look crept over their faces, to be re-
placed by sympathetic smile as the
applause broke forth in the Portland
audience. and was echoed over the
wire.
