JOURNAT, AND PROCEEDINGS. Dy 
during the year, some of which were: ‘‘ Toning Developing-out 
Paper,” by Mr. A. G. Alexander; ‘‘ Development of Under- and 
Over-exposed Plates,” by Mr. J. G. Gadsby; ‘‘ Making of Lantern 
Slides,” by Mr. Land and Mr. Gadsby. The Section is much 
indebted to Mr. Gadsby for devoting every night for a week during 
the lantern-slide season in his untiring efforts to teach many mem- 
bers how to make good slides. . 
There were some improvements made to the darkroom during 
the year—such as a new zinc developing-table, the erection of 12 
new lockers, and the addition of several large developing-trays and 
graduates. But things are not yet as they should be. ‘The enlarg- 
ing and reducing apparatus is not satisfactory ; a larger condensor 
is needed. It is to be hoped that our darkroom will receive a large 
share of attention during the coming year. 
There was but one outing last year—that to Guelph on Victoria 
Day. ‘Though no views of any note were obtained (the locality not 
being favorable), the members, of whom there was a good turnout, 
had an enjoyable time. 
Our annual print exhibition, held this year on the 24th, 25th 
and 26th of March, was conceded to be equal, if not superior, to 
any previous competition held by the Section. ‘There were about 
thirty exhibitors, and the pictures were of a high artistic merit. The 
successful exhibitors were : 
A. G. Alexander, gold medal and first trophy ; 
D. A. Souter, second trophy and silver medal ; 
W. G. Grant, landscape—medal ; 
C. A. Herald, genre—medal ; 
J. G. Gadsby, flowers—medal ; 
Mrs. Robt. Campbell, enlargements—medal ; 
Miss Dixon, best collection by lady members—medal ; 
T. J. Davenport, Wentworth County amateurs—medal ; 
J. H. Land—Mr. Cunningham’s prize for best print of tree. 
The medals for marine interiors and portraiture were withheld 
by the judges ; the work outside of that which had already been 
awarded prizes in other classes was not of sufficient merit to allow 
of a prize being given.
