ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA AND THEIR TX
Hu1T-AREIvAL OF DELEaArEs.
The National Museum looks like gigantic
photograph gallery that has been struck BY q
cyclone and scattered over couple Of acres.
Inc members of the Photographers
Association Of America began arriving
this morning, and BY 10 O'Clock had
complete possession Of the entire
northern half Of the museum building. Bust
ness-like looking men in their shirt sleeves and
their hats showed back Of their forehesds bus
tied around with an air Of determination to
bring order out Of chaos and knowledge OF
Just how 1t was to be done. BY noon the noise
OF earpenters' hammers was everywhere heard
and the lecture hall, tho corridor on the west
siuo anu the northeast compartment had as
sumed the AIR OF a general wreck. The lecture
hall had been divided. the western half to be
USED MS the meeting place of the association
and the other as n branch of tho stock exhibit,
the main part of which is over across the
way OF the main corridor and in the east
side. Here the noise was at its height.
Most OF the regular cases had been moved out
OF the room aud the pictures and drawing ex-
hloits on the side walls were being boarded
over IN order to give room for the show OF
Photographic stock and appliances,
THE AIT EXHIBIT
is to be in the western corridor, north side,
where screens have been so arranged as to
divide OF the space most economically among
the various exhibitors. There will be several
hundred OF the finest photographs imaginable
shown, the main interest centering in the COM
petition for the grand prize. There are six
contestants, each showing three photographs
illustrating Tennyson's poem "Enoch Arden"
IL Is expected that there will be about 800
members IN attendance at the convention, the
sessions of which begin at 10 o'clock. Except
IN the afternoons, when the technical papers
session.
