additions to the Survey Collection. Six sets of four slides and 

 three sets of prints were sent in, a response somewhat dis- 

 appointing as regards quantity, the quality of the prints being 

 below competition standard the Bronze Medal was withheld. 

 The small number of competitors i.e. four, may be partly 

 accounted for by the fact of members being engaged in preparing 

 work for the Exhibition arranged to open on March 23rd. 



The most important engagement upon which the Committee 

 has entered during the year has been the promoting and ar- 

 langement of a Non-Competitive Exhibition, which was held in 

 the Corporation Picture Gallery, kindly placed at the disposal of 

 the Committee for the purpose by the Mayor and Corporation of 

 Brighton. 



The Exhibition was opened by the Mayor on March 23rd, 

 and I'emained open to the public for two months. The Com- 

 mittee have every reason to be well satisfied with th-* success of 

 their first venture in this direction, both the quantity and the 

 average quality of the work contributed exceeding their most 

 sanguine expectations. 



There were about 20 exhibitors and 200 exhibits, and 

 during the two months in which the Exhibition remained open 

 i^, 1 49 visitors have entered the doers. 



As regards future work, the Committee have in view the 

 more systematic carrying out of the long-projected photographic 

 survey of the county. 



The thanks of the Society are due to the judges who kindly 

 adjudicated in the competition ; to Mr. J. E. Haselvvood who 

 generously presented a medal ; and to Mr. D. E. Caush for 

 providing and working the lantern on several occasions. 



They are also much indebted to the Kev. E. M. Hawkins and 

 the Trustees of Christ Church Schoolroom for the use of that 

 building on two or three occasions for meetings of the Section.
