The'pitch of perfection to which the picturegram ' system of transmitting photographs by telegraph has been brought was amply demonstrated by the speed with which pictures of the finish of the, Melbourne Cup race reached Sydney. Two minutes after a photographic print had been lodged at the Melbourne G.P.O. by a Sun photographer transmission ■was commenced. The operation occupied exactly 10 minutes, and nine minutes later a print was completed in the Sydney G.P.0., the result being that 25 minutes after the original print had been lodged in Melbourne, a telegraphel replica of it was on its way from the Sydney G.P.O. to The Sun office. Somo of the transmitted pictures are singularly clear and perfect in detail. . - -
