42 THE WOMBAT. 



There is one matter of which we wish to write somewhat 

 strongly, in the hope that you may be able to impress the 

 lesson forcibly on members of your society and friends. We 

 see with great regret that many of the prints sent in have been 

 toned by the combined bath, and the consequence is most 

 disastrous. We wish that all users of P. O. P. would refrain 

 from the use of the combined baih, as such results as those 

 we refer to are bound to arise in ninety-nine cases out of a 

 hundred. 



We forward you by this mail a couple of specimens and, 

 as we say, we hope that our little warning may have the due 

 effect in a few quarters at least. Apart from this, we are 

 exceedingly pleased with the result of the competition, and 

 congratulate you and your fellow workers on your first 

 .attempt, and that so ambitious a one. 



As a contrast to the dreadful results arising from the 

 combined bath, we send you a couple of prints toned by our 

 formula, and comment is needless on the comparison. 



Yours obediently, 



For The Britannia Works Co., Ltd.

THE GEELONG ART SOCIETY. 



The rules and regulations of this Society were revised, and 

 in some instances entirely remodelled a few weeks ago, and 

 the members hope that under the present programme the 

 Society will be able to accomplish much more than hitherto 

 in the direction of encouraging and promoting fine art (pro- 

 perly so-called) in Geelong and district. 



The total rejection of all work copied from the flat is now 

 a notable feature in the rules of the Society, and the Secretary 

 informs us that this rule will be rigidly adhered to in the future.
