SKETCHING CLUB AND ART SOCIETY. 



The above society held a most enjoyable Social in the 

 Lecture hall of the Gordon College, on Monday evening, 

 May 4th. There was a splendid representative display 

 of sketches, and the members of the club were warmly con- 

 gratulated on the result of their out-door studies. The 

 principal exhibitors were Mr. J. W. Sayer (President), 

 Misses C. Cole, L. Davey, A. Wilkins, C. Thompson, and 

 Messrs. A. Ramage, F. Monteath, F. Purnell, and M. 

 Gough. The exhibition was further enhanced by several 

 figure studies by Miss H. Peters. Several leading vocalists 

 contributed musical items during the evening, and a dainty 

 repast was provided by the lady members of the club. 



To the Editor of the "Wombat." 



Sir, — The other evening several members were developing 

 Lantern plates and Bromides with Hydroquinone. A portrait 

 was exposed on Austral Bromide B, developed and fixed in 

 the usual way. It was found to be covered with black spots 

 and marks, making it useless. After washing, it was placed 

 wet on the plaster wall of dark-room. Some days after we 

 noticed the picture, which, as it dried was pealing off, and 

 on examination it was discovered that not a spot or mark was to 

 be found. Perhaps some of the readers of your journal could 

 enlighten me as to what was the probable cause of the change. 

 We feel interested, and would like to hear a few remarks 

 about it. Yours, 



" Slap Bang."
