BROADCAST FROM MARIPOSA
A description of the liner Mariposa was successfully relayed from the steamer by IJ£R on Saturday afternoon. It is understood the broadcast was the first of its kind in New Zealand. The microphone was installed in a dance saloon and the announcer, Mr.* W. Hindman, who had previously inspected the ■vessel from top to bottom, gave a splendid description. The rain caused some delay in the laying of the relay wires, but the broadcast was carried out without a' hitch. The noise of a near by crane on the wharf and the babel of voices in the saloon were heard over the air, but dic( not mar reception.
