Local Club Reported to Be
Flourishing.
A Photographic Association for
Cramento-Doing of the
Amateurs.

Inc camera season IS In full swing.
Prominent amateurs are setting their boxes
in order preparatory to making trips to the
summer resorts. There is already ample
evidence that mountains woodland and
marine scenery will be shown in the
albums of camera users on their return TO
the City. Many Of the negatives will no
doubt be converted into lantern slides,
and, with the coloring that is usually
added to them, will show up well on the
screen.

of the enthusiastic amateur.
The amateur photographers of Sacra-
mento have organized themselves into a
club. 1t has been decided to model it upon
the association III this City. Lectures will
be given at stated intervals on the various
branches of photography. These will be
varied by practical demonstrations in the
way of printing processes, etc. Stereopti-
con exhibitions will also be feature of the
clubs gatherings.
1t is proposed to found union of all the
Photographic fraternities in the State, for
the reason that it is thought that the Ma
tional interchange system does not bring
the Californian amateurs into close touch
with each other.

mountain scenery is peculiarly attractive
from the amateurs standpoint, and the

the amateurs, is astonishing the old
