SCHOVERLING, DALY & GALES, 



302 Broadway, New York. 



The Boston Camera Club, representing a gen- 

 tleman of high standing in matters pertaining to 

 Aerial Navigation, offers the following prizes 

 for instantaneous photographs of large soaring 

 birds: 



One Hundred Dollars for the best instan- 

 taneous photograph of a large bird in the act of 

 soaring. 



An additional prize of $50 is offered for the 

 greatest number of instantaneous photographs, 

 offered by one photographer, of large birds in the 

 act of soaring. 



By "soaring " is meant the attitude of the bird 

 in the air when no wing motion is apparent. 

 The figure of the bird should be at least half an 

 inch long on the print. If the figure be small, 

 but clearly defined in detail, enlargements will be 

 preferable to contact-prints ; and will be judged 

 of equal merit with direct prints. Careful notes 

 should be written on the back of each picture, 

 detailing the appearance to the eye, the quick- 

 ness of the shutter, the angle of camera, etc. ; 

 also the full name and address of the contributor. 

 Two prints of each picture should be sent. All 

 contributors must prepay the transportation 

 charges on their exhibits (which may be simply 

 card mounts), and in no case will they be 

 returned. 



This offer remains open until October 1, 1896; 

 but' if on that date at least 100 different photo- 

 graphs have not been received, the limit of time 

 may be extended, of which due notice will be 

 given. Address Samuel Cabot, care of Boston 

 Camera Club, Boston, Mass.
