PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION 51 
able people were trying to drop everything and run away. 
I’. G. Davis’s prints were carefully done, and were probably 
the best, but no prize was awarded. We ought to do better 
this year. The prize is for prints obtained by some more 
artistic process than the regular P. O. P.—bromide, platinotype, 
carbon, &c., and it is worth deliberately trying for. Those who 
can profit by printed help in their work should spend a shilling 
and some study on some good book of instructions, such as the 
Barnet Book of Photography, the Watkins or the I/ford Manual, 
or (for more detail) the Practical Photographer series. 
The section prize for Lantern Slides went to H. Neame for 
some snow-scenes; not perfect, but good for a first attempt. 
It, P. Young was second, and had dane a much greater quantity 
of work, but not with the same care and precision. Heywood

would have been rather meagre without the contributions 
supplied by various masters who take an interest in photo-

men on the staff, so that they cannot spend very much time on 
it. We had also a few slides from the collection of H. Nestor- 
Schnurmann, O.C.; a good idea: other O.C.’s, or intending 
0.C."s, please note. 
Members who are at all likely to be able to use them should 
have bicycles with them next summer, in case there comes 
a fine day and a good opportunity.
