148 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. 
sets of slides entered in competition for a gold medal given by 
Past President Baker, also shortly before the close of the inter- 
change set we held a very enthusiastic meeting, when the judg- 
ing took place for prizes given by our President in a slide com- 
petition. As you know, from the result of the above two com- 
petitions the club was enabled to send to New York one of the 
largest and best set of slides it has ever sent. 
The club’s Annual Exhibition and Competition took place 
on March 27th and 28th, and was considered one of the most 
successful we have held. The new members were well repre- 
sented, and the work shown was much superior both in compo- 
sition and finish to that shown in previous exhibitions. Sec- 
tion C turned out to be the winning Section, and it is pleasing 
to note that Mr. A. G. Alexander, who is a member of that Sec- 
iton, and also one of the club’s new members, was the winner of 
the first trophy and gold medal for the best collection of prints 
in the exhibition. 
_ During the past year the club lost one of its oldest and most 
enthusiastic members. I refer to Mr. Samuel Briggs. On 
August 6th a meeting was held to bid him farewell, as he was 
then leaving for the Old Country. Mr. A. H. Baker, on be- 
half of the club, presented him with a fine group of the mem- 
bers taken at a recent club outing. 
During the year several small improvements have been 
made to the dark room, but it is still not what it should be. The 
idea has been brought up about securing new club rooms, and I 
hope this will not be given up, for if there is anything we need 
to make the club a continued success it is new and comfortable 
meeting rooms. 
In conclusion, I desire to thank all who have assisted in 
making our meetings a success, and ask from you for my suc- 
cessor in office the same hearty support that I have received. 
Respectfully submitted. 
JAMES MOODIE, 
Secretary.
