entertaining lantern exhibition by
Prof. Shepard, of Minneapolis. The
convention has been largely at
tended, and successful beyond all
expectation
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
| J. F. Edgeworth, of the G. Cramsie
Dry Plate works, of st. Louis, gave
an instructive demonstration of the
method of developing each subject
separately by the dry plate process.
Fred Johnson, of Duluth, followed
with a few remarks on the propriety
of greater attention being given by
photographers to the artistic side of
their profession. If that was at
tended to, prices would regulate
themselves.
The thanks Of the convention We're
then formally extended to Charles
Hetherington, of the Aristotype COM
pany; S. H. Mora, of the Eastman
company, and J. F. Edgeworth, of
the Cramer Dry Plate company, for
their kindly cooperation and the val
liable instructions they have given
the delegates during the session.
At noon the doors were opened to
the public, and during the entire
afternoon and evening hundreds of
visitors admired the beautiful ex-
hibits. The ladies, including many
of the cityss artistic coterie, were
especially delighted
AT p. m. the report of the COM
mittee on awards. E. Burt, of
Minneapolis; c. A Zimmerman, of
st. Paul, and F. Bonnell. of Eau
Claire-Was announced to the ex-
pectant sun painters. The awards
were considered eminently fair, even
by the st. Paul photographers, wha
modestly consented to take but few
of the higher class diplomas. They
CALAMITY explained that Minneap-
Oils had the immense advantage of
possessing girls whose beauty was
only equaled by their self-posses-
sion. ST. Paul maids, on the con-
trary, are as bashful as they are
beWltching. This preternatural coy
ness prevents their being took"
with satisfactory artistic effect. The
experts from the "cities" were so
busy explaining about each other
that they forgot to elucidate WIN
Duluth, ''the little lake town" Sc
cured most of the prizes after the
Flour City.

Lack of space prevented a complete
account in yesterdays issue of the
very meritorious exhibits.
Upon the lower floor Zimmerman
lllc pfOiIccI piAClo anu
dealers in Photographic supplies, have
an extensive exhibit Of everything
that a photographer uses. The Pho
tographic Record has here it's head
quarters. 1t is an excellent little
monthly magazine, beautifully illus
trated, and published by Zimmerman
Bros in the interest of the profession.
1t is the organ of the Northwestern
association.
The Twin City is represented by
large exhibit from the important house
of Albert Wunderlich. Many interest
ing features are presented, including
the various kinds Of print paper, with
numberless examples of practical
work. The arrangement Of this ex-
hibft is unusually effective.
An advantageous location near the
front window is utilized by the beautf-
full display of ''Solio'' portraits and
views presented by the Eastern Kodak
company, of Rochester, N. Y, the Iarg-
est manufacturer in the world Of SEN
sitized papers and hand cameras. The
possibilities of the "So1io" paper are
artistically set forth.
Across the room are some of the
most original and attractive portraits
at the convention. They are upon
..Aristo-platino'' paper from the Amer
lean Aristotype company, of James
town, N. Y A characteristic of these
photographs is the singular strength
of the perspective effects. Several por-
traits are exhibited which were adj
Judged the gold medal at Berlin, Ger
many, about two months ago, in
general competition, and in the very
home of platinum paper. The "Aristo-
platino'' is a new style of mat surface
paper, and is rapidly being adopted by
the leading artists of the United States
and Europe.
The steel engraving effects of the
'sPlatinotype" paper made by Wills &
Clements, of Philadelphia, are appar-
emit in the exquisite portraits and stud
les of the FIRMS exhibit. This paper is
in great favor abroad, and is claimed
to be absolutely permanent. It's arts
tic effects are certainly admirable.
Portraits are shown by Steffens, of
Chicago; Strouse, of st. Louis. and
