PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION 51 



;il)lc people were trying to drop everything and run away. 

 V. G. Davis's prints were carefully done, and were probably 

 tlic best, but no prize was awarded. We ought to do better 

 this year. The prize is for prints obtained by some more 

 .-ulistic 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 

 Bm-nct Book of Photography, the Watkins or the Ilford Manual, 

 (ir (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. 

 R. P. Young was second, and had done a much greater quantity 

 of work, but not with the same care and precision. Hcywood 

 and E. S. Ritter were the only other exhibitors, and the show 

 would have been rather meagre without the contributions 

 supplied by various masters who take an interest in photo- 

 graph}' : there is a good long list of them now, only it would 

 seem that, unfortunately, the camera attracts just the busiest 

 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 

 O.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.
