Many amateurs of Richmond and
tage of ringside seats at the Shade
Greb fight in Pittsburg Friday night,
as the Westinghouse company set up
instruments at the ring and sent out
an account of the fight blow by blow.
Although this account was coming
in at the regular time for local work,
not a key was working as all listened
to the fight. The cheers of the crowd,
and cries of Soak him." Alta boy"
could be heard easily. Pegg,of Foun-
tain City, Schultz, Cutler, Hutton and
Gatzek were some of the amateurs
who heard the fight, while it was even
received on crystal by Joe Winder, Il
record for crystal detector receiving.

New Phone in Richmond.
w. Fl. Schultz has completed his
new phone station and has been oper

| success. He has been reported .. ,

! All amateurs of Richmond, Corners
| vile, Cambridge City and Greenv1le
were listening anxiously for the Chi
| cago Grand Opera which it was an
! nounced would be broadcasted b!
! wireless telephone, beginning Monday
| the opening night. The amateurs ant
! friends who had expected to hea,
| grand opera remained faithfully a
| their posts for several hours, but were
| unable to hear anything from Chicago
! although all heard Cincinnati, Pitts
burg and other telephones. A tele
I gram from Chicago, filed at 1914
| o'clock Monday night, stated that tn
/ opera was lutu DClllS5 III OCldCIOCCN IA
| $50 meters with $50 watt tubes.
AS K. Y. w, the Chicago station, i
on almost the same wave length a!
s X B, the Precision Equipment com
! pany at Cincinnati, Leslie Hart gave
as his opinion that the operate wire
less was "blanketed" by the Cincinnati
| station. All operators heard X B ant
! those who were unable to get the Chi
cago station substituted the musi
from Cincinnati or PittsbuTg for tn
! opera.
Leslie E. Hart continued to lister
and heard X w sign off at a littl
before IL o'clock. 1t is hoped that
will be possible to hear the oper
| some night when X B is not work
ing, since it is already establiske'
that it can be heard here.
