By the light of two petrol lamps Mr. Eade then displayed and commented on thirty of the photographs. He said, however, that he could easily have overlooked some good prints because of the bad light. He placed the first four photographs as follows :-

-Members will recall the Committee's decision that, instead of donating a prize, it would pay for a full page reproduction of the winning photograph in the magazine and half-page i'eprodue.1,ien for the
- second and third photographs. By using magazine funds in addition t will be possible to give each photograph full page reproduction. Should power restrictions be lifted by the middle of the month it may be possible to include the winning print in the August issue, the second print in September, and the third in October. Using its own funds the magazine could not afford to publish more than two or three: photographs in a year, but we would be very pleased if any photographer wculd donate half the cost of a block, about 25/-. The magazine could
- afford the other 25/-. Should any of the exhibitors feel generous enough to de this they would deserve the thanks of readers. Many of the photographs selected by Mr. Eade would probably reproduce even better than the winners. Probably the best photographs for reproduction would be the sharply defined ones with high contrasts, as some of the tonal quality is usually lost in printing. There was a time, when the S.B.W. published an Annual, when all the blocks were donated by members liVe can't afford an Annual now, but why not revive this practice in the monthly magazine?
-At the end cf the exhibition the President thanked Yr. Eade for his very helpful criticisms and suggestions. They should certainly be invaluable tc our ardent photographers. Dorothy Lawry revived the suggestion that we should have an exhibition in town later, and no doubt the Committee will consider this suggestion. Everyone was sorry that full jIltice could net be done tosuch a pleasing displuy.
