THE WOMBAT. 47 
in for competition by the younger members of the Club, who have 
done especially well in the artistic composition of their pictures, 
and as it is for this that most marks are awarded, they have gained 
many places in the competitions. 
The Club outing took place on 10th November. Anglesea 
River was the chosen spot. Leaving the College at 6.15 a.m., 
thirty-five members and friends had a long and enjoyable day. 
Arrived at the River, boats were soon manned, and the beauty 
spots explored for pictorial ‘‘game.”’ Prizes were offered for the 
best work in group, landscape (with and without figures), and 
instantaneous work respectively. A high level was reached by 
many competitors, and the judges had no easy task. Mr. 
8. R. J. Mawson kindly opened his grounds to the Club, and 
the shelter was much appreciated, 
The last meeting for the year was held on 12th December. 
The attendance was large. After the usual business, the pictures 
taken at Anglesea were exhibited and favourably criticised. 
The Syllabus for the first half of 1903 was settled, 
and the following subjects selected for the monthly 
competitions :— Yachting, Street Scenes, Animals, Archi- 
tectural Work, Enlargements, Landscape, River or Lake 
Views, and Plate Development. Messrs. W. Wrathall, W. 
Thacker and T’. Lord have offered special prizes. Not fewer than 
six may compete in each section. Competitors for the Plate 
Development Prize must each bring the exposed plate to the 
meeting, with particulars of time, make, and his ‘‘ nom-de-plume.” 
The plates are numbered and drawn for by lot; each competitor 
developes the plate he draws, using any developer he pleases. ‘The 
negatives will then be judged, and finally the names of the 
competitors will be made known. 
It is intended early in the New Year to fit up a daylight 
enlarging camera for the use of members.
