WE would remind those who have a copy of No. 1 to spare, that this journal will be sent post free for six months in exchange for it. Address, The Editor. * « > THe Camera Club has removed to its new premises, in Charing Cross-road, and as soon as the fitting up has been completed (1) a house ‘warming (2) and a special smoking concert will be held. * 2 TH members of the Manchester Amateur Photographic Society are evidently plentiful makers of lantern slides, for the committee have decided that no one member shall be allowed to exhibit more than eightcen slides at any of their open lantern meetings. We would direct their attento the letters of Messrs. Duncan and Blandy, on page 86, who request the loan of slides for entertaining Hospital patients. ® ” * Tue works of the late O. G. Rejlander have been acquired by the Fry Manufacturing Co., who intend publishing them in various forms, includ Mr. Wo ctasron writes to inform us that the National Photographic Exhibition and Lantern Lectures will be held at the Crystal Palace from April 13 to May 2. ae * We learn from Mr. William Tylar, of Birmingham, that he intends shortly introducing binocular . lanternescopes, on the lines suggested in our first ‘article in last issue. Few persons will resist the temptation of purchasing, if once they are afforded the opportunity of inspecting a slide in a binocular lanternescope. 2 ® BS Humpuries & Co.'s Quadrant Hand Camera, of which we gave a description last June, is about to start on a photographic trip around the world. It will doubtless unfold a wondrous tale on its return.
