some advance upon the universal first-stage P.O. P. Many of 

 these papers are quite easy to work — often easier and readier 

 than P.O. P.; and there is the electric light in the dark room 

 ready for the work, and special times arranged. 



At the exhibition of lantern-slides last December seven sets 

 were sent in by five competitors, the prize going to FitzHerbert 

 for some simple unambitious bits of Irish scenery, very nicely 

 done; a somewhat novel set, from its very simplicity, but effec- 

 tive. Swiss pictures by B. J. B. Cohen came second, and then 

 waves (one very fine) by B. E . Smythies. The show this time was a 

 good one, though it is a matter for regret that there was nothing 

 shown by several people who had good negatives ready to hand, 

 but unfortunately "had no time." Both Mr. Borchardt and Mr. 

 Towers were in the vein, and let us have of their best ; and there 

 was the additional pleasure of welcoming first contributions 

 from Mr. Clauss and Mr. Unwin, and looking forward to many 

 others from them.
