60 HE efficacy of wireless telegraphy
as an aid to modern journalism
has again been demonstrated by
y The Call to the satisfaction Of the
people Of San Francisco. This paper was
the first to see the journalistic possibili-
ties in the experiments Of Marconi and
was also the first TO harness the newly
developed electrical current to the car of
progress For weeks preceding the re-
turn from Manila of the California Vol
unteers a corps Of experts in its employ
were setting up and perfectng apparatus
that would herald, ahead of all other
agencies, the near approach of the trans
port. How well the work was done is
matter Of history. il is hardly necessary
to recall that slow-going competitors got
their only intimation of the arrival Of the
Californians from the booming of a Call
cannon and their news of the same event
from a Call bulletin.
The first OF the international yacht
races between the cup challenger, Sham
rock, and the defender, Columbia. has
afforded this paper a second similar op-
portunity to distance competitors grown
yellow from age and TO establish beyond
cavil the ready adaptability Of wireless
telegraphy to the needs Of the modern
newspaper. Extraordinary preparations
were made TO furnish to the people OF
San Francisco the clearest picture and tho
best description of the race and the re-
suits exceeded the expectations Of even
the most sanguine. In conjunction with
the New York Herald The Call secured
corps of assistants in order that the dis
coverer and foremost eXperimenter in the
new system of electrical transmission
might himself superintend the details and

GREAT
EXCITEMENT
IN LONDON

LONDON Oct. 3.-There has been
come lukewarmness of interest hitherto
but London has amply atoned. No
event in the annals Of sport ever Gre
ated such intense and universal ex-
citement as has been displayed over the
result of the race between the Sham
rock and Columbia for the America
cup. The eliminating point was
reached to-da'- when the center Of the
newspaper world Of Great Britain was
literally packed with huae multitude
e Of cheering and enthusiastic partisans.
1t is calculated that at 1890 some
thing like 10000 people were within the
area between Fleet street and the
Thames embankment. Trade was i'm
possible. The police authorities were
completely taken by surprise and no
provision had been made for dealing
with the vast crowds that thronged
Fleet street and the adjacent thorough
fares from St. PauPs TO the Piccadilly
Circus.
At midnight the main arteries were
thronGed with people eXcitedly discuss
ing the result Of the contest with an in
tensity that no Derby or varsity boat
race ever eQualed. and which more

AT sos a. m. the first bulletin was dis
played on the muslin. 1t read: THE wind

crowd to predicate that "LiptOn luck

start, the progress and the finish of the
race. upon the result of which two worlds
are hanging breathless.
No similar successful attempt at pictur-
ing and describing passing event has
ever been recorded in journalism. The
apparatus was not particularly elaborate,
but 1t was so perfect that those who
witnessed It's workings needed nothing
but the power to take out of their con-
siderations the three thousand odd miles
that separated them from the Jersey
coast to imagine they were witnessing the
actual struggle. Across the main arch
OF the building was stretched a canvas
forty feet long by eight feet high, on
which had been painted that part of the
ocean over which had been laid out the
cup course and the coasts bounding it.
In front of this picture, hanging by
endless cords, were suspended miniatures
of the contending yachts, so arranged as
to be carried over the course as the bull
letins to be received should indicate the
challenger and defender were moving. In
addition to this large stretch of white
muslin had been arranged on rollers on
the side of the building upon which the
bulletins We're to be painted as fast as
received in order that those not Up in
the maneuvers might be fully informed
of the progress of the race
Eleven o'clock, New York time, 8 o'clock

During the next thirty minutes a
dozen short taChs were made, the wind
continuing fuky all the time, until
few minutes before 8 o'clock, when the
Wind left the Columbia for fully five
minutes She had the inshore berth.
while the Shamrock, Offshore, held
breeze from the northeast. When the
Shamrock, at 3:11, went about on the
COlumbia's lee bow she was we'll ahead;
that is to say, if she had gone about she
could have crossed the COlumbia's bow.
Between 3:15. and 3:20 the Columbia,
with few fresh puffs from the north
. east, began walking UP on the Sham
rock, which was then nearly quarter
OF a mile to WindWard of her, but be-
fore she could overhaul the Shamrock
the wind died out again, the Shamrock
continuing to hold a breeze, and by $50
she was nearly half a mile TO windward
~of the Bristol boat. There was a strong
tide setting to the southwest which
seemed to affect the Columbia more
than it did the Shamrock. As it was
necessary, according to the rules. to
finish the race before AS it soon be-
came evident, as the boats at + o'clock
were some five miles to leeward of the
finish, that the race would have to be
declared off. This was done al the time
named, while the boats were still four
miles away from the finish
p. It was very evident from to-day's
performance of the Shamrock that she
is indeed a very fast yacht That she is
speedy in light winds was shown by her
work the first half of the first leg of the
course; that she is quick in stays was
amply proven by her Windward work.
and it is also a fact that she stands up
TO her canvas equally we'll with the Co
lumbia. In the matter of handling
sails there was little to choose between
the two. and if any mistakes were
made it was more the fault Of the fuky
.breezes than Of the Judgment Of the
sailing masters. Some idea of the wind
ward work of these two yachts may be
gathered from the fact that in the
twelve miles sailed from the outer mark
10 where the race was concluded the
Columbia made twenty-five tacks and
the Shamrock twenty three.
