The Exhibition of the Capital Camera
Club TO Open Next Tuesday.
The coming exhibition of the Capital
Camera Club, which will open at the rooms
of the Cosmos Club. on Tuesday next, and
will continue during Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, with exhibitions on the nights
of Wednesday and Thursday, promises to
be the finest exhibition of Photographic
work ever seen in this city, and will take
rank. it is believed, SO FAR as the char
acter of the work exhibited, with many of
the International exhibitions of the world.
This will be the fifth annual exhibition
held by the club, which has now entered
upon another prosperous year of its exist
ence 1t is doubtful if there is another
club in the country which comprises
among its members many men who are
specialists in other things so closely re-
lated to photography, as VIII be evidenced
by the handsome catalogue which the club
will issue, and which will be illustrated by
half-tone engravings, made by a member
of the club from prints selected from the
work of the members. The design for the
cover was also prepared by one of the club
members.
At this exhibition seven silver and six
bronze medals will be awarded These
medals will all be struck from the club
dies which were engraved from a design
furnished by Mr.. L. j. Collett, an active
member of the club. In addition to the
medals three special prizes will be offered,
materials in this city. ard the third prize,
consisting of a "knack" camera, valued
at $15, is offered by an outside firm, and
will be awarded by the judges for the best
exhibit of work made with a hand camera.
At this time ii will he worse than guess
work to attempt to write the names of the
exhibitors who VIII be awarded prizes, for
the work thus far presented has been so
far above that heretofore exhibited, and
as some of 1t has been entered by persons
who have never before exhibited, more
than one surprise has overtaken exhibitors
who have before been considered safe for
leading prizes.
Among the new exhibitors will be found
Messrs. Fraser, Thurber. Burgess Smith,
Dinwiddie, Bryant, Schaam and Stieglitz,
all of whom have presented exhibits of un-
usual interest, while among the ladies Mrs
Bartlett, Mrs. Chittenden Mrs. Green and
Misses Crane, Cogswell and Gerish help to
fill the ranks of the new exhibitors.
The joint exhibit of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.
Winder, including pictures of some of the
historic homes of New England, will in
terest those who are anxious to know the
surroundings of some of the noted authors
of this country.
1t is intended to have the awards of the
judges consisting of H. r. Miller, r. N.
Brooke and Charles ParkeD made known
at the opening of the exhibition Tuesday
morning, so that the public may have an
