WIRELESS TESTS

NEW ZEALAND HEARS NEW YORK REPLY SENT DIRECTLY. Australian, and N.Z. Cable Association. NEW YORK, May 23. The “New York Times” reports: “Our signals this morning were received direct by Mr R. White, of Auckland (1AO), whose replies we also received direct, no intermediary Ame-

rican stations being employed. Mr White declared that he copied our dispatch with ease, and informed us that he would relay it to the Australian Press Association. Mr White, however, filed to the ‘Times* a 70-word dispatch reporting bad weather at Auckland, four days of rain having produced washouts and deranged the water supply system. “We also communicated with th yacht Kaimiloa, at _ New Caledonia, which received us direct, but whose replies we received through 53A. We believe our dispatches during thb past two days reached their destination, although we, have not yet heard directly from Australian sources.” The New York “Times” signals, which were transmitted in Morse telegraphy, were heard bv Wellington amateurs, and are described by them as of good strength. Their wavelength is given by Mr E. A. Shrimntoo (2XA) as between 36 and 37 metres.
