Next Summer.

The fourth annual convention of the
Northwestern Photographers associa-
ton will be held in Minneapolis in Au-
gust, 1898. This was decided at the
opening of yesterdays session.
The last day of the convention was
very busy one, and included a series
of short talks on different points in
the school of instruction, constituting
possibly one of the most profitable fea-
lures of the course. John Ellsworth,
of the Cramer Dry Plate company
spoke of the development of the dry
plates. Theodore Campbell, Of the
Hammer Dry Plate company, gave a
practical demonstration of posing and
lighting, on which subject J. M. Whip
pie and c. A. Zimmerman also spoke
briefly.
A very interesting lecture was de-
livered by J. NJ Fell, of the American
Aristo company, on Hints on the
Dark Room" which was as beneficial
to his listeners as any paper of the
school.
At the business meeting which fol-
lowed after some discussion, an amend
ment was made to the bylaws that
hereafter all exhibits must be entered
by number instead of by the photog-
rapher's name, so that the work will
be criticised on it's merits and not upon
the reputation of the exhibitor. Any
person desiring to enter an exhibit
must notify the secretary in advance
and will be provided with a number
which he shall attach to his work, and a
sealed envelop will contain his name
and address. After the judges have
made their decision, his name will then
be attached to his display. Also that
any person making an exhibit and
who does not care to enter the con-
test, must notify the secretary to that
effect in advance.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
retiring officers for their services To
the second vice president, M. F. Helm
zelman, is special credit due, as he
was called upon unexpectedly to pre-
side during the entire session, in the
absence of the president and first vice
president. That his services were ap-
preciated is evinced by the fact that
the convention was unanimous in elect
ing him first vice president.
The judges, Messrs Varney and Pry-
or, of La Crosse, and Peterson of Fari-
bault, then made their report of the
markings of the exhibits These mark
ings were made on basis of 100 per
cent, and included posing. lighting.
printing and chemical effect. Tobias
Zweifel, of Duluth, easily carried off
the honors, his work ranking far above
that of any of his competitors There
were eight in the display of portraiture
who had a percentage of so or over,
thus emitting them to diplomas, while
the commercial work of Haas Brothers,
of St. Paul, was par excellence. The
following is the report Of the judges, in
