FOR PHOTOGRAPHING NEW-YORK CITY.
PLAN FOR TAKING PICTURES OF NOTABLE
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.

A PLAN FOR TAKING PICTURES OF NOTABLE
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
The members Of the Society of Amateur fho'o-
graphers have begun 10 carry out their big pan VI
taking pictures of everything that Is notable, plet
uresQue or otherwise interesting In TINS CITY Inv
idea IS to level the on Characteristic scenes III

The nlon was first sugge sted By DR.. John I. Nagle
of tho Board of Health and has been under discussion
for several years The members of the society nave vi
their own accord been gathering views OF the city, pue
they acted independently and without system mus
pictures of the notable old mansions OF the city nave
been taken and Jealous amateur photographer has
made nkencsses of every statue on Manhattan Island
Last winter however the project took definite form
and the city has been divided into districts. to each
of which a member Of the society has been Assigned
some of the volunteers have started on TIER TASKS al
ready but most OF them waiting for more favorable
weather When spring sets In in earnest the pand WI"
take up the work on an extensive SCALE
When the negatives have been made, photographs
will be printed copies of each one of which Will be
placed on file at the society's clubrooms. Lantern
slides will also be made, which will be exhibited to
the society and then sent to other Photographic cuOS
in various parts OF the country. BY the extensive
system Of Interchange OF set, of views between the
societies already established, members of the New
York body will in return receive loans OF pictures
made by members OF sister organizations.
1t is proposed ultimately to have the plan taken
up by amateur photographers all over the United states,
until every part of it shall have Systematically paid
tribute to the knights Of the camera. societies In
other places are already Interested In the work under
taken here and will IN time do similar serNlcc ioi
