Pacific Coast Amateurs Give a
Good Exhibition.
The Fifth Annual Display Affords Evidence
Of Steady Improvement-Notes Of the
Principal Contributions.

The opening Of the fifth annual exhibition
of photographs and lantern slides by the
Pacific Amateur Photographic Association
took place last evening at Pioneer Hall,
when a number of lantern slides were dis
played with the usual stereoptlcon appa-
ratus, and the results afforded the greatest
qualification to large number of invited
guests.
The principal contributors of the slides
were E. L. Woods, G. w. Dornin, t. 81.
Palache. Ii. P. Carleton, w. S. Carleton,
Knight White, F. Mcconnell and DR..
Dewey.

other excellent contributions: The Lonely

such as AFTER the Storm" ''As the Fog

Spring at Larkspur." He has also picture
OF Felicia Briones. the oldest Indian in
Marin County. Miss Ida w. Palache con-
