before dinner, owing to many of the

play in the art gallery ready. Many'of

tracted much attention.

w. H. H. Clark, editor of the St.Louis
Photographer, followed with an inter-
esting address on 1.-THE Progress of
Photography" in which he outlined the
many and varied Improvements which
had been made in the past twelve
months.
The selection of location for the
next place of meeting was the next
business. w. III. FL. Clark, in this con-
nection, said that considerable disSatis-
faction was being expressed because the
conventions were always held in the
West. Many of the Eastern photog-
meeting was held in the East. He
closed by asking the convention to
hold its next meeting in Boston.
Washington city was placed in nomina-
ton by Mr.. Moltes, of Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Edwards, of Chicago, wanted the
convention to meet in Jacksonville,
Fla, next January. This extremely
Fictitious motion received no second. III.

a short address, in which he objected
strongly to the holding of the conven-
tion at Washington, on account of the
heat. Mr.. Gordon, of Providence, r. L.
hold the convention at Boston thar at
Washington. A general discussion
followed, some of the members holding
that if Eastern photographers had not
money enough to attend the convention
it should not be held at place where
Eastern men could not get to it, A bal
lot was then taken, with the following
result: Boston, 50; Washington, As.
The following were appointed a com
mittee on n0Winations, to select Of
iicers to be voted on to-day: Pierson,
Va; Ely, OshE0sl, Wis; Morton, Provi-

upon the various prize pictures was de-
ferred until this morning. President

dress, in which he spoke of the good the
association had done, and the many i'm
prOvements that had been made in the
phOtOgraphing business. The conven-
