CAMERA SECTION 



Secretary's Report 



During the past year, the Camera Section has beeii a little 

 quiet, though there have been some very interesting meetings. 



The outing to Tansley on Victoria Day was an enjoyable one, 

 though for once the Grand Trunk Railway was a little too punc- 

 tual, for a few of the members, losing their train, went to Bronte. 

 The two parties meeting at Bronte station in the evening, each 

 claimed to have had the best scenery, and tliis point has not yet 

 been decided from the after results. 



A number of short outings were organized during the sum- 

 mer, one of the most enjoyable of which was a trip round the bay 

 in a gasoline launch. 



The Section has the honor of being the only Canadian club to 

 enter the American Interchange of Lantern Slides this year, and 

 our winter months have been made more interesting by some very 

 good sets of these slides. 



A number of good demonstrations on lantern slide making, 

 trimming and mounting of prints for artistic results and other sub- 

 jects were given, and it is safe to say that a large number of mem- 

 bers are not aware of the good points they missed through not at- 

 tending these meetings. 



The competitions during the year consist of that for the best 

 picture taken at the outing on Victoria Day, when Mr. Hunt was 

 awarded the prize ; and the lantern slide competition in November, 

 when the prizes were awarded as follows : — 



Best set of slides open to all -members — ist, Mr. Hunt ; 2nd, 

 Mr, Herald. 



Best set by lady members — Miss Dixon.
