Manchester has become a very much be-photographed one, and in many of the pictures shown we see, of necessity, the same places we have been accustomed to find at former exhibitions, and represented from very much the same positions. We may always know beforehand that Haddon will be to the fore, with Gawsworth a good second, and Miller’s Dale, Alderley, and Marple not so far behind. This cannot be helped, but it is well that the midsummer holidays come to the rescue with a supply of less intimately known subjects. Photographers are bimetallists, platinum and silver being their standards. The high price to which the former has advanced within the last few months may be one reason why fewer platinotypes are to be seen on the walls than usual. Another reason is the fact that an effect very much like that of platinum can be obtained by drying silver prints on a ground glass ; indeed, so beautiful in detail and texture are many of the prints treated in this way that it is not to be wondered at that, platinum is giving way, as also is bromide of silver, except for enlargements. Shiny surfaces, whether ordinary silver prints, or on Obernetter and other similar papers, continue to decrease in number, as it was foreseen some time since that they would do. That the ground glass plan worthily displaces bromide this exhibition abundantly proves; but if all operators could produce results in bromide equal to the screen of half- plate views shown here the case would be altered. It is diffi cult to see how better work could be done than this particular screen shows. In an amateur exhibition of this kind it would be invidious to select special examples for commendation ; as a whole the show is most excellent, and if we single out one or two special examples it is not because we feel that others are not equally to be admired. One exhibitor shows at the platform end of thesroom a very interesting set of 12 by 10 marine scenes, in which figures occupy a prominent place. This is certainly the most difficult branch of the art, and the exhibitor is to be con gratulated on his success ; some skies in the same series are also very excellent. A frame near the door fitted with the work of a lady is worth attention. Why ladies leave photo graphy to men we could never quite make out. In many parts of the room will be found views that are the result of the " survey undertaken by the Society, some of which show how necessary it is that such a scheme should be carried out. Among other buildings whose place shall know them no more is the Hyde Road prison, which is shown in six or eight capital views. Most of the enlargements are bromides, and some of them are as good as anything of the kind could well be—one of Fountains Abbey on the wall opposite the door, for example, and also some lake views at the head of the room. The few enlargements by the Autotype Company excel the others in richness ; among them is a capital one by the President of the Society which, from a negative of 44 by 34, has stood enlarge ment up to 20 by 16. The only novelty in the room is shown in two bromide prints toned to a fine sepia brown by uranium ; there is also a “cyanotype,” or Prussian-blue print, as it is generally called, of Haddon, which is made into a moonlight scene by putting a moon up in the sky, and with not altogether an unpleasant effect. The miscellaneous lantern slides by the members were shown last evening by Mr. J. Davenport, the president of the Society. The Rev. H. J. Palmer and Dr. Hamilton will exhibit a series this evening, and on Wednesday Messrs. J. W. Wade and J. Davenport will show a series under the title of “Holiday Rambles.” These have been taken by members by means of hand-cameras ; that is, by cameras held in the hand at the time of exposure. For the lantern exhibitions a fine “ three- decker ” lantern, well known to Manchester photographers, which has become the property of the Society, will be used. The photographs on view were exclusively the work of the members, and all taken during the past year ; it is a regulation of the Society that none of the pictures shall have been publicly exhibited before. All the photographs it is possible to accept are put upon the walls, that those who do inferior work may see how it looks alongside good work. This is found to produce a marvellous improve ¬ ment in the general character of the exhibits the following year. The Lantern Displays at the Exhibition. On Monday night local and other views, the work of the members, were exhibited in large number by means of a costly triple magic lantern, the property of the Society. On Tuesday night, the Rev. II. J. Palmer, M.A., and Mr. A. Hamilton, M.D., exhibited a series of interesting views of the Rhone Valley district, and some of its lateral valleys. Mr. Palmer pictorially traversed the Simplon pass from Brieg to the Gorge of Gondo, and gave some excellent representations of the magnificent scenery. Next he gave the journey from Brieg up to Bell-Alp and the Aletsch glacier, but did not include the house there of Professor Tyndall. He next gave some leading features of the scenery from Visp and through Zermatt to the Gorner Grat; these included many excellent views of the Matterhorn. One series of the scenes had been taken in duplicate : a narrow-angle lens had been used in the one series, and a wide-angle lens in the other; those taken with the narrow-angle lens were much the better, as there was less dwarfing of distant mountains. Mr. Palmer was in the Rhone Valley in the hot season, when it is not pleasant. He described Visp as a malarious, unpleasant place, and told how, when panting for air one night, he opened the window of his bedroom, and in came a cloud of mosquitoes. He should first have extinguished the light. He stated how the people up the valley object to the railway, and said that he did not know why. The reason is, that the resi dents think that it will ruin Visp and places between Visp and Zermatt, for tourists will go straight to Zennatt, and require no horses, conveyances, or inter mediate hotel accommodation. The “King of Zermatt,” the chief hotel-keeper there, is also said not to like the new railway. The Swiss Government has overruled a variety of petty local interests, and the railway is now nearly finished. Last Wednesday night, Mr. J. Davenport and Mr. J. W. Wade exhibited some lantern views illustrating holiday rambles and hand-camera work ; among these were some by Mr. Wade of the pantomime of Cinderella, taken before and behind the scenes at the Comedy Theatre, Manchester. Those behind the scenes were taken by the aid of the flash-light; those taken in front were of scenes much illuminated by the lime and other lights, and with an ex posure of half a minute ; the lens had a stop with large aperture. The time seized for making the exposure was when one person was either singing or dancing, and all the others were still; Mr. Wade would then wave his handkerchief as a signal to the latter to keep quite still while he made the exposure ; the one person dancing about the stage made no impression on the plate. Thus were theatrical views taken during public performances, without many of the observers present knowing that any photographing was going on; some of the views included a hundred figures. Mr. Wade is a vice-president of the Society. The Manchester Amateur Photographic Society. The Manchester Amateur Photographic Society was founded five years ago, and, at the present time, has nearly four hundred members; twenty-three have been nominated for election at the next meeting. It is the largest photographic society in this country outside
