Richmond wireless amateurs organi-
zation and expressed deep apprecla,
ton Thursday morning. The final
song was her favorite. "nThe last song
was beautiful" she said, "but we lis
tened. to and enjoyed the whole pro-
gram from beginning to end. The In
strumental solos were fine also.
Trio Number Choice.
The trio which sang negro spirit
uels was the choice Of R. G. Bruce,
teacher in the Boston school, who list
ened over Walter Rifles set. THAT
was the best of all, it was exception
ally good" he said, ''but the from
bone solo was beautiful also. 1t was
very clear and the words of the songs
were wonderfully plain as well.
Mr.. Rife, an amateur Of Boston, was
host to Mr.. Bruce and to a group OF
his neighbors whom he had invited for
the special program. Unable TO al
tend the services at Richmond, these
Boston citizens still enjoyed the Dene'
fit of all but Mr.. Sundays sermon. MT
Rife reported a very clear and distinct
transmission for the Palladium tele
phone. which he was unable to OBTAIN
with other stations that night.
A report was telephoned in by ParB
Snider of Connersville, one OF the
prominent amateurs and a radio
dealer, Immediately after the program
Your telephone came in very louc
here" he said, in spite of some bad IN
reference through which the program
was received. -
Loud In Praises
A group listening at the station o
c. o. Snyder in West Richmond, wa
loud in praises Of the program. TW'
of the listeners for whom this was tn
first experience with wireless, ex
pressed amazement at the distinc
quality and the loudness of the voice
Of the singers. at is just as though
they were in the room," said one.
David r. Pottenger, real estat
dealer. who was one of the new lister
ers at Mr.. Snyder's set, was especial,
interested in the program and ez
pressed surprise at the perfect mar
ner in which voices and music coul
be transmitted.
Another informal radio party wa
held at the store Of Leslie Hart, radi
dealer, on Main street. Many othe
amateurs OF Richmond listened to tn
program and gave efficient and Walt
able assistance in their suggestion
and prompt reports at the beginnin
of the program.
Express Qualification
Qualification was expressed by loci
listeners for the opportunity to hea
the special program, as except for
there was little that could be hear
Wednesday night on account of tn
bad weather conditions which mad
transmission difficult. Only fe
stations could be tuned in by Rife
Boston, with none as loud as the Pa
ladium station. Rike-Kumler's static
at Dayton was heard by c. o. Snyde
and other amateurs after the Pallat
ium program, but was reported yer
weak locally, although usually
comes in very loud. This station Wa
heard also by Billy Sunday at the b.
tel after the close of the special pr
gram.
AS stated above, Billy Sunday wa
one of the most interested listener
this being the first occasion on whic
he had had any experience with wir
less, or had chance to hear his part
over the wireless, although he hs
travelled with them from Duluth sout
to Tampa and from New York
California.
Solo, duet, trio, vocal numbers an
solo piano and trombone number
were given by the Sunday party
