Eorresponence. REDUCED RAILWAY EARES EOR PHOTOGRAPHERS. Sir,—I beg to enclose you a copy of a memorial and letter sent this week to all the London and suburban photographic societies. All interested in the cause will, I am sure, feel deeply grateful for the co-operation and support of your valuable paper, and for any reference to the memorial in its columns that you may deem it advisable to make. Henry Selby, Hon. Sec. of the West London Photographic Society. 42, Ladbroke Grove Road, London, W., Feb. 14th. Dear Sir,—At a meeting of the West London Photographic Society, held at the Lecture Hall, Hammersmith, on the 23rd January, 1891, the president, Mr. Walter Adam Brown, in the chair, it was resolved : “ That the question of cheap fares for members of photographic societies having been dis cussed for some time, the period has now arrived to bring the matter before the railway authorities, and that the memorial in favour of the scheme in the form presented to-night by the president be forwarded to all the metropolitan photographic societies for their approval, and on its return be at once lodged with the railways in question.” In pursuance of such resolution, I beg to enclose you print of the memorial, and I should be glad if you will kindly lay it before your society at its next meeting, and return it to me filled up as early as possible, with an intimation whether or not I may add the name of your society as one of the memorialists. Henry Selby, Hon. Sec. of the West London Photographic Society. 42, Ladbroke Grove Road, London, IP., Feb. 9th. To the Chairmen and Boards oe Directors of The Great Western, The Great Northern, The London and North Western, The Midland, The North London, The London and South Western, The Great Eastern, The South Eastern, The London, Chatham, and Dover, The Lon don, Brighton, and South Coast Railways, and the other London and Suburban Railways. My Lords and Gentlemen,—The humble petition of the under-signed Loudon and suburban photographic societies and clubs showeth as follows :— 1. That the practice of photography is daily increasing, and that large numbers of those practising it do so, not as their sole occupation, but as an amusement, or in connection with other duties and occupations. 2. That a considerable number of photographers have joined societies established for the instruction and furtherance of the art of photography, and those societies are governed by responsible boards of management. 3. That the greatest number of effective subjects suitable for photographs consist of landscapes and seascapes, and in teresting spots some distance from London, but the costs of the travelling expenses to those places is a serious drawback, and a reduction in the prices of tickets to your memorialists would be a great boon to them. 4. That concessions have been made by railway companies infavourof membersof anglingand otherclubs,whcrebyany mem ber of a duly accredited angling club can have issued to him a railway ticket at greatly reduced fares, on presenting his ticket of membership, and declaring that he is actually then going on a fishing excursion. Your memorialists ask that the same privilege may be azcorded to them, and they further ask that as photographers cannot always go in a body to the same place at the same time, that any member of the memor ialising societies may be entitled to the cheap ticket without the necessity of making one of a party. 5, Your memorialists submit that subjects taken of the route of any line of railway fosters traffic on that line, and that the directors think so also is demonstrated by the fact that on many lines excellent photographs of places are ex hibited in the railway carriages themselves. These are only seen by actual passengers, whereas photographs taken by your memorialists would be carried into other hands, who otherwise might not have known of such places at all. 6. Your memorialists are not unreasonable, and they think that some concession would lead not only to a large increase in the traffic, but to an increase in the profits of the railways themselves, and, at the very worst, it could easily be cancelled by a further order of the railways if found not to answer. 7. That your memorialists consist of the following societies, who have, by resolutions, approved of the memorial, and who would be happy to give further information if necessary. [Here follow the names of each society, its address, the name and address of the secretary, and the number of members on the books.] THE QUAGGA. Sir,—I sent you a hurried note some little time ago re your remarks Mr. York and the last quagga. The holidays inter vening, I have been unable to redeem my promise. The specimen copy of the quagga in the Year-Book is (I am almost convinced) one of my many negatives taken at the Zoo. It is now eighteen years ago, and it would be difficult to remember all the negatives taken. Mr. York considered I was singu larly successful—at least I understood him to say as much. It was a kind of test of my ability previous to sending me out to this country. I give you a description of my instrument and manipulations as far as I can remember. I have many times since seen lantern slides from the same negative, and have had every reason to be satisfied with my work. The apparatus was built by Meagher—a double camera, lenses placed so, o°o ; the camera divided in half ; the top part was provided with a Burr lens ; the two bottom lenses, acting as stereo lenses, were Pallmeyer’s 2B lenses, all identical in foci, diameter, &c. The equal of the lenses I have not seen either before or since. The top lens was used only as a finder ; the shutter was immediately in front of the plate, being slipped in position from underneath the camera, and was simply a blind lath of wood pulled down on to a spring, which sent it up when released. The plates were Sin. square, double stereo. The back was shifted after the first exposure. The slides were very solid, and had a roller shutter, the first, I believe, used in Great Britain, and were perfect in every respect. I invariably used the full aperture of the 2B’s or the next stop to it. The average exposure, if I remember rightly, was about a second. AU I had to do was, after get ting into a suitable position, to sight the beast on the finder focussing glass, my head being under the focussing cloth, and, with string in hand, pull down the shutter when I got a satis factory position. I must confess I did not find much difficulty with my subjects ; my lefthand being on the rack screw, I could alter the focus or swing round as required. The collodion was what was then known as York’s, rather new. The developer was made from a saturated solution of ferri-sulph. with acetic acid, afterwards dissolved off with cyanide of potassium. Perhaps my success was in a great measure due to a careful study of the animals. They, like ourselves, sulk at times, and you can do nc thing with them. Then there are ways of getting the fire into their eyes. I have barked at the carnivora, whistled to the reptilia, grunted at the antelopes, until I had a throat like a nutmeg grater. By the time I had finished in the Zoo, I knew the official name and habitat of every living thing in the place. I had several narrow escapes, as you may imagine. One especially I may refer to. I was photographing the two-horned rhinoceros ; I was inside the paddock, to get rid of the bars ; the keeper was with me with his whip. The beast was up against the palings, and the crowd outside were feeling his hide with their sticks and umbrellas. Whether they touched him in a tender part, or that he had some evil design on me when I was covered with the focussing cloth, I know not, but he charged me, The keeper shouted, and, in
