cricket life of the College. The number of competitors, ten, half 
of whom had not exhibited before, testified to an increased 
interest, which it is to be hoped will endure and bear good fruit. 
A. A. Johnston, the winner of the first prize, has now had some 
experience, and he takes advantages of opportunities abroad, 
where he can get good lighting. D. L. Solomon, who came 
second, was content with English, that is to say Welsh, homes and 
scenery ; and closely following him were several others who had 
done good, clean, careful work. We are every year indebted to’ 
Mr. Borchardt for some of the most interesting slides of the show, 
done, like other good works, in the scant leisure of a busy life: 
this time, views from Switzerland. Mr. Bell Haworth shewed the 
beginnings of a collection that he is making (with a view to use at 
the College Mission) of slides dealing with the College and its 
belongings. The collection promises to be full of interest, and 
Mr. Bell Haworth’s appeal for more ought to secure it a substantial 
addition. 
The Section, it seems certain, contains too few of those who 
who are Natural Historians to begin with, and come in out of desire 
to use photography as a means of record and a help to investiga- 
tion. Will not more of such people join? Anybody who is 
really in earnest in wishing to study nature is bound nowadays to 
use the camera ; personally, if he does his duty; by proxy, if he 
is callous enough to be content with other people’s clumsiness. 
The College Museum will not be complete until it has, in many 
editions, picture-records of flower and tree, hill, valley, cloud and 
river, birds, beasts, and even boys; and all these ought of course 
to be supplied by the Photographic Section.
