As the Arlington sending station has been recorded as far east as Egypt, it will be readily seen that the equipment re- ouired for the service is not great.
 That the government may later seek to organize the various operators now springing up about the country seems probable in the near future. according to MT. Davis, but the fact that Bridge port is at present equipped with ap- paratus available for receiving infor- nation direct from its shipping or any startling event at sea will be of. gen era1 interest to the public which has been curious to know what the re- gently erected aeriaIs so near it's heart were intended for.

SPOR RTOGRAPHY

Just to give the refor7mers a tenn porary relief from contemplating the horrors and brutality of boxing, the following announcement of a bull fight to be staged tomorrow in San lander, Spain, may be worth publica- tion:
 -sAttentfon.-The attention of all tourists and lovers of sport is called to, the bull fight to be given in San lander, the capital of the province of Northern Spain, on the twenty-sixth day of June. This will be the great est bull fight in history, and 1t is other on so grand a, scale. Instead of the usual six bulls the customary number, no less than eighteen bulls will be killed. Six bullfighters, all numbered among the most famous in Spain, with their suites, have been engaged, and 1t will be an all-star en- gagem ent from beginning to end. The bull fight will occupy the entire day, commencing early in the morning and ending only at sundown, with an in ternission of two hours for luncheon. The prospects are of the brightest for the full success of this gigantic under taking, and Spaniards, and the visitors to this country, will see a festival such as has never before been presented and scarcely will be repeated"
 The small bills supply additional de- tails regarding this great sporting event. It is predicted that no less than fifty, and possibly as many as a hundred horses will be killed before

Thomas Rock of 92 State street and William Hart of Union square did not appear to press their appeals. The decision means that the five dealers will lose their licenses which are valued at about $4,0o0 each since the new laws went into effect. It was alleged that the saloons were disorder1y resorts.

Bender Of Athletics
 Is Consistent Winner

Albert Bender, pitcher for the Ath- Ietics. has been connected with Con- nie Mack for a boodly number Of years but he seems to be another one of those who are able to go on fof- ever. Chief has a record of five games won and only one lost this sea- son, and all his wins have come in succession Each spring itesis said about Bender, just like Eddie Plank the southpaw, who has been hurling for ages, likely to go back at any tirne.'' But each year Bender comes around and is hurling the same con sistent ball he did the season before Since Bender went to the Athletics, way back in 1908, he has a winning percentage of .637, which is very good for any pitcher. This record consti- ttutes 1eO victories and only 91 de- feats.
 True, Bender has been with team that almost always landed well to the front, but for one who after each sea- son is doped as sure to go back this is very good. And Bender is one of the nnainstays of Connie Mack on the fir ing line. He has been for some years, and he will continue. Before going to the Athletics, Chief pitched for the Carlisle Indian school and later for the Harrisburg athletic club. After this, in 1903, he went to the Hackers
 and has been connected with the team  1 ever since.
 In 1905, when the Athletics won 2 pennant, it was the good work of Ben 1 der that helped much. Then in 1910 and 1911, when Connie Macl l again chaperored pennant winners l Bender was one of the chief n1ainstayi on the firing line The best veal
 Bender has enjoyed since he came tC l the Athletics was in 1910, when h.
 wound up the season with 23 victor l ies and only five defeats, for a, percen l tage of .821. This puts him at th' 1 top of the American league hur1er
 for that season. And only twice durin, the ten years he has been connected with the f1inging corps of the Athlet ics did he fall under the 300 mark The first came in 1904 when he wount up with .476, and in 1908, when h

Davis & HawIey's Powerful Re. ceiying Apparatus Snatches Many Messages from

Bridgeport today is in wireless com muntcatfon with practically the entire world. through "a privately installed station, operated in connection with the recently opened government sta tion at Washington. Though certif7- cates to send messa ges. have not as yet been issued by the government to To- cal persons, it is expected that appIi- cations will soon be submitted, and an experienced operator formerly possess sing the qualified tions has volunteered to. act during the interim.
 Primarily designed to communicate with U. s. battleships throughout the Atlantic. the famous Arlington station with it's powerful towers for radiat- ing the etherial sound waves about the eastern and western hemfspheres, has been foun& of intrinsic commer- eial value. It was opened April 1st and jewellers throughout the country at once recognized the value of catch ing the radio-time distributed at high noon and 10 o'clock at night.
 Progressive time correctors and re- pair-men throughout the country took advantage of the opportunity and in stalled their own private apparatus First among those in Bridgeport was Davis & Hawley Company, which erected it's aerials, or strand-wire re- ceivers upon their building at Wall and Main streets. They were followed by Reed & Todd a few days. later.
 Of such value to the original in stal1ers was the news flashed from all parts of the Atlantic and Washington that a greater radius was sought until they now have aerials extending from Main street to Water, a distance of 25o feet, capable of catching messages as far south as Panama and almost to the English shores.
