W2S4EF, Schenectady, at 3 p.m.. on Yuesday last, announced that. they were "going over to the old Bowery Den, under the sidewalks of east New York." Readability was poot on account of gushiness, but it appears that there was a. gathering of "down and outs" jn this den, where visitors talked to them and led them in community singing. Phat? Lap’s. Race. NTIL. noon on Monday, the short- . wave station broadcasting a descriptian of the race was not known. The time of the race also was in doubt. About midday I was advised that KEL, Bolinas,, California. on 21.8 metres, was describ‘ing the race, so no time was lost in tuning to this station, but, except for odd words, very little was heard. Talk for Australia, with Phar Lap’s name mentioned quite a lot, and something about the course, was about all that was heard.
