understood that so many prints would be allowed, also the best 

 and greatest number of processes, then Clubs could work 

 accordingly, but we must say that the Working Men's College 

 Club deserve the prize for their collection of 23 frames repre- 

 senting 13 different processes. Amongst the best in this class 

 was a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo by Mr. Ralph, also opals by 

 A. J. Campbell. In the Animal Section D. Le Souef's work 

 was highly creditable, the subjects were mostly taken in the 

 Zoo. Amongst the leading prize takers in this class were 

 Messrs. A. J. Campbell, J. B Thornley, C. Gruncell, F. Styant 

 Brown. 



The Gordon College Club's Members, although not 

 extensive exhibitors, still hold a place in the prize list. 

 In Portraiture J.Wadelton secured 2nd; Seascape & Yachting, 

 C. O. Dentry 2nd ; Landscapes J, A. J. Wood, 1st ; J. 

 Hammerton 3rd ; In very many sections the work was printed 

 rather dark, while others over toned. Many enamelled prints 

 showed as usual under mounts buckling which is irritating to 

 the eye. In the enlargement section some good work was 

 shown by Mr. Bennet. In the collection of loan work by the 

 Victorian Society some excellent work was shown, but with 

 this as in many other cases the exhibits were hung too high, 

 and could not be properly seen and inspected. A large dis- 

 play was made by various Warehouses of the latest improve- 

 ments in photographic apparatus and materials. The 

 collection of enlargements shown on the Austral Bromide and 

 star paper were worth inspecting. The Exhibition is of a very 

 extensive and instructive character, and reflects credit on the 

 Executive Committee and its Hon. Sec. L. Hart, F.R.M.S. 



The first meeting of the Congress was held on the evening 

 of the 23rd, when the President, R. L. J. Ellery, Esq., C.M.G., 

 delivered his opening address after the minutes of last Congress 

 were read by Mr. J. Hammerton (Sec. Gordon College A. P. A.) 

 and confirmed. The following rules for the guidance of the 

 Congress were submitted and passed : — 



1 st. The object of the Congress is the interchange of 

 Photographic Knowledge, and the dissemination of the same 

 amongst the Australasian public, and the consideration of all 

 matters of interest to Amateurs and Professionals.
