THE WOMBAT. 39 



The Association has decided to give a gold medal for 

 first, and a silver medal for second prize, to the members who 

 obtain the highest marks during the year, in connection with 

 the monthly competitions. 



On December 12th, after the ordinary business had been 

 transacted, the members adjourned to give a send-off to Mr. 

 Andrew Cowie, of Ulloa, Scotland, who was on his annual 

 trip out. Among those present were Mr. J. H. Harvey, 

 Secretary of the Victoria Amateur Photo. Association, and 

 other visitors. 



We have received the prospectus and prize schedules of 

 the forthcoming exhibition in Kimberley, South Africa, and 

 our members are invited to compete. There is the restriction 

 that no one who has won a gold or silver medal can com- 

 pete in any class. We are sorry to see this restriction, as we 

 think it will rob the exhibition of a great deal of its interest, 

 for naturally most of the best work usually comes from the 

 very ones here debarred. 



We have also received full particulars and schedules of 

 the Intercolonial Exhibition to be held in Launceston in 

 March next, under the auspices of the Northern Tasmanian 

 Camtera Club. 



There appears to be a weakness in the entries regulations 

 as in the competition for the "Adams" Camera where one 

 individual will have a great many entries. Should there not 

 be a reduction in the entrance fees to any one who enters a 

 number of exhibits ? 



We are glad to hear that the preparations for the Congress 

 to be held by the Working Men's College Club at Easter are 

 going on very well, and that it promises to be a great success.
