The Hawaiian Camera Club held
meeting Friday evening for the
purpose of deciding when the public
exhibition should be given that was
mentioned some time ago. Owing
to the Clubs not yet receiving the
slides that are expected from the
States, the date of the exhibition was
not definitely settled.
On Friday evening, 21st instant, a
private exhibition and social enter
talnment will be given at the Clubs
rooms to the members, at which time
1t will be known when the public ex-
hlbltion can be given in the Opera
House.
One new member was admitted to
the organization, and some other
