Several new members have joined this Section during the 
year, and the average attendance at the fortnightly meeting is 
gradually increasing, The Circulating Portfolios, under Miss Blyth’s 
superintendence—a system whereby a member submits his work 
to the candid criticism of his fellows—is a valuable aid to improve- 
ment in work. 
A Summer outing was held on June 3rd, when an excursion 
was made to Chenies. An award offered for the best picture then 
obtained, was won by Miss Blyth.

The Annual Exhibition was visited by a large number of 
members and friends. An excellent series of photographs was 
shown, but the absence of work by Mr. J. P. Bushe-Fox, who 
was away through illness, and by Mr. C. P. Small, who was acting 
as judge, was a misfortune. 
Mr. C. P. Small made the following awards :— 
Silver medal to Mr. H. J. Aubrey, for his picture “A Stormy 
Light” ; Bronze medal to Mr. R. W. Wylie for his picture 
“ Salisbury.”
