THE WOMBAT. 41 



In looking over the schedule of classes, we notice that 

 Class D. is called " Instantaneous ; Marine and River," no 

 details being handed. No doubt there will be a great many 

 exhibits in this class, and we think confusion may arise. For 

 instance, how can a rowing boat on a river (which is virtually 

 a landscape) be compared to a yacht running at eight or nine' 

 knots an hour in rough water , or to a picture of rocks and 

 sea only. It appears to us that these should form three dis- 

 tinct sections. All the other sections seem well arranged, and 

 the prize list is very satisfactory. 



We understand that there is a first-class exhibition of 

 professional photographic work at the Ballarat Industrial 

 Exhibition now proceeding, though the amateur classes are 

 badly represented. No doubt the amateurs have been busily" 

 occupied in preparing for the exhibition in Launceston andi 

 Melbourne. 



We will be glad to receive articles on Photography, Art: 

 or Science for publication in the Wombat. 



The photographic syllabus for the coming half-year is in 

 course of preparation, but as it is not quite ready we are- 

 unable to include it in this issue. 



We are requested to print the following com- 

 munication : —
