Joly 31, 1868.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 371 ladies and gentlemen assembled, and passed a very pleasant day. Several of the party elected to continue their journey a few miles past Llangollen; the rest, who were content with the tewn and its picturesque vicinity, were able to secure several pictures before the rain came, just as the “ onward ” party were getting to work. The rain continued steadily for about two hours, after which, until dinner time, Sol was in the ascend ant, and cameras in full occupation. At four o’clock both detachments met, and, at the President’s kind invitation, sat down to a sumptuous repast at the “ Hand ” Hotel. Owing to a misunderstanding with regard to the time of departure of the return train, the party was compelled to wait for the next one, about half past eight; and to relieve the tedium of the “ long wait ”—everybody else’s plates being exposed and cameras packed up—Mr. Mawdsley took two groups in the court-yard of the “ Hand,” upon collodio-bromide plates. The return journey was by far the least pleasant part of the day’s proceedings ; as, with the total disregard of punctuality gene rally observable on that line, the train arrived at Birkenhead a few minutes before midnight, and passengers were landed at Liverpool too late for all out-going trains and omnibuses, and cabs at extra fares were in great demand. The ordinary monthly meeting of the same Association was held on Tuesday evening, the 30th ult., the President, the Rev. G. J. Banner, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and con firmed, and Mr. Alfred Tyrer was elected a member of the Association. A vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to the President for his hospitality on the occasion of the excursion to Llan gollen. After some desultory conversation, The President asked Mr. Henderson if he could explain the cause of the peculiar tones noticeable in some of his prints on the table. Mr. Henderson attributed them to the paper, while the opinions of others leaned towards acidity in the printing or toning baths. Mr. Hushes exhibited some prints mounted with india- rubber, and which were peeling off the mounts, and gave it as his opinion that “ india-rubber mounting ” is a “ delusion and a snare.” Mr. Guyton made some remarks bearing out Mr. Hughes’s opinion, and stated that he had been warned of the effect years ago. It was decided to hold the third out-door meeting at Beeston, on Thursday, 9th July. The meeting was adjourned at an early hour, the attendance of members being very small. The usual monthly meeting of the Association was held on the evening of Tuesday, the 28th July, at the Free Public Library, the President, the Rev. G. T. Banner, in the chair. The minutes of tho previous meeting and of the Llangollen excursion were read and confirmed. Mr. Mawdsley submitted for inspection some 8} by 6} prints from negatives on the Liverpool Company’s plates, which were much admired. They consisted of views on the Sussex coast; and two were presented to the Society’s album. Mr. Guyton brought forward some first-class views, &c., including “ The Prize of Prizes,” by Dr. Hemphill; in emula tion of which Dr. Watling showed an admirable print from a wet collodion negative, both subjects consisting of studies of Many members being inadvertently prevented from com peting for Mr. Green’s prize, tho time was extended, and tho large print will be awarded at the August meeting for the best twelve stereos taken during June, July, and August. Mr. Greene also offered one of his 24 by 18 prints “ for the best year’s work ” shown at the end of the year. The thanks of tho Association were unanimously awarded to Mr. Greene for his generosity. _ On the motion of Mr. Henderson, seconded by Mr. HUBBACI, it was decided to have an excursion to tho the “ Old Hut ’’ on Saturday afternoon, the 15th of August. A paper by Mr. Bolton, on “ A New Preservative Medium,” Was then read, and a vote of thanks was passed to the author. Mr, Bolton, however, and his results being absent, it was considered that further experiments were necessary to establish the superior claims of quassia over tannin. Mr. Greene related his experience with a new toning bath recently described in the Photographic News by Mr. Bovey, who finds that the ordinary adjuncts to chloride of gold in the toning bath, while acting as retarders, have a tenden cy to pre cipitate the gold as powder. He proposed :—■ Chloride of gold (orange) 8 grains Common salt 1 grain Pour on 1} pints boiling water, and let stand till lukewarm and then add 2 gallons cold water. It improves by keeping only requiring to be strengthened. In rather more than the above quantity Mr. Greene recently toned simultaneously forty-four prints 10 by 12 inches, and one print 24 by 18, obtaining rich sepia and black tones, with an available surplus of gold. Mr. Wilson considered tho action somewhat similar to that of the double chloride of gold and sodium. The President showed some prints toned and fixed at one operation, as lately recommended by Dr. Liesegang, but the results were unsatisfactory. A short discussion ensued, and the meeting then adjourned. Ourresponence. REMOVING SILVER STAINS FROM OPAL GLASS. Sir.—I see that one of your correspondents has met with a difficulty in removing the image from opal plates. There is no need for him to get a fresh sample, it this be the only thing wrong. After removing the film, should the impression remain, let him subject the plate to a strong heat from a spirit-lamp, having previously covered it with much diluted nitric acid. The ghost of the picture will slowly vanish, and the plate be as good as ever.—Your obedient servant, P. S. Drayton. Horton Court, Chipping Sodbury, ‘ITth July, 1868. PS —I do not know if this plan will answer with collodio- chloride or collodio-bromide plates, but it has never failed with the ordinary wet plates. WASHING MACHINES. Dear Sir,—I can fully endorse Mr. Cherrill’s remarks upon washing machines. The most efficient one—and which I have had in use many years—may be found fully described, as used by the Government at Southampton, in one of the early numbers of the Photographic News. Not only small but whole sheets can bo thoroughly washed without tearing, and it may readily bo made by any country carpenter.—I am, dear sir, yours truly. An Old Photographer. July 25th, 1868. Salk in the Studio. Final Medals of the French Exhibition.—Our readers will be gratified to learn that Dr. Diamond has just received from the French Imperial Commission a medal “ for services rendered,” in acknowledgment of his labours as a juror in the photographic department of tho Exhibition of last year. This is the more complimentary to the recipient of the medal, and will be tho more gatifying to English photographers, inasmuch as it is a somewhat exceptional honour, not conferred upon the jurors generally, but only upon such as have been especially marked out for honour for the especial value of their assistance. Retouching Negatives.—We have been favoured by Mr. J. B. Mohr with a sight of some touched negatives, and prints therefrom, which aptly illustrate tho value of tho method in giving refinement without detracting in any degree from the likeness. Portraitists are becoming more and more familiar with the fact that the truth of photography may be materially aided by the truth of art, and that yellow freckles, &c., scarcely per ceptible in nature, are not truthfully rendered when repre sented by coarse, black spots. Skilful retouching of the nega tive removes all this, and makes the photograph come nearer to the truth of nature. Our readers may learn, on reference to our advertising columns, that Mr. Mohr is for a short time de-
