BENDIGO. 



The local. Photographic Association formed late last year 

 has now obtained a firm footing amongst the amateurs. The 

 fortnightly meetings being devoted to mutual instruction, 

 every alternate Wednesday is spent by members in driving 

 (by drag) to various resorts around the district, and a cordial 

 welcome is extended to members of any other Amateur Club 

 who may at any time visit the Golden City. Recently an 

 impetus has been given to the Association by the election of 

 W. J. Faul, Esq. (a scientific and enthusiastic amateur), as 

 President, and under his regime practical results must follow. 

 The hon. secretary (Mr. F. Prescott), who takes great interest 

 in promoting artistic tastes, has given a handsome centrepiece 

 for the best photogram of any floral arrangement in connection 

 with the Bendigo Horticultural Improvement Society's 

 Chrysanthemum Show, to be held on May 7th and 8th, 

 particulars of which can be obtained from Mr. F. Prescott, 

 Bendigo, or Mr. Hammerton, hon. secretary of the Geelong 

 Amateur Photographic Association.
