NEW PHOTOGRAPHY, !,
Wonderful Accomplishments
of Frank G.. Richards.
SERIES OF FINE PHOTOGRAPHS
BY WILM1NGTONIANs
WHO ENJC-ED THE HOSPITAL
ITY OF THE ACORN CLUB AT
POINT PLEASANT.

Frank G. Richards. of the Acorn
Club, OF Philadelphia. is the Official
photographer OF that pleasure-seeking
and art-conserving organization. He is
mo sense a professional, but takes first
rank among amateurs, being a master
in the selection of his subjects and re-
Imarkably skillful in the application Of
lights and shadows.
During the encampment OF the club
at Point Pleasant, Pa, recently he took
a series Of photographs which have
just been developed and mounted and
copies of which have been received by
Wilmingtonians who enjoyed the hos
lpitality OF the club on that occasion.
There are six Of these photographs.
First and foremost is that of head
less black calf reclining on mass Of
Jagged rock. He has treated the sub
ject with his camera with the same
skill which Rosa Bonheur. Land
seer, or any of the other great animal
painters. would have done with the
brush. The expression is especially
natural. This calf is Of the drop-stitch
land black Durham species
The next in point OF artistic merit is
the watermelon party. which shows
the company Of young persons in a full
and complete enjoyment Of pleasures
which are supposed to be confined in
their fullness to the transplanted and
fragrant flowers of darkest Africa. An
Especially pleasing pose is that Of a
young Wilmingtonian who has just
been fished out Of the canal, and who
it would be presumed, had received
enough water externally without max
ling an internal application. The pas
itoral scene treated in the third photo
graph shows that the encampmen
must have been delightfully."- situated
and the campers engaged in the pleas
[ ATTEST of rural pursuits, such as fol
/ lowing the plow. milking the COW, won
dering how, etc, The wide, hospitabl
front OF the Railroad House at Poin
Pleasant forms the background for
group Of perhaps forty persons VIII
posed that Mr. Richards might demon
strate what he knows about wireles
photography. The facial development
in this picture is perfect, and is du
solely to the Marconi system Of elec
trio waves which Mr.. Richards pro
, duces by simply waving his fine Italial
, hand, charged with electricity, over tn
surface of the black cloth which cover
q his golden locks. The other photo
graphs are more particular than gen
ieral in their treatment Of subjects. Blu
they are, in their way, masterpieces q

vor of the plans for the deepening Of

NINETY THREE PER CENT. OF
THE BUSINESS OF THE COUN-
TRY-oFFIcERs TO BE CHOSEN

entered the bridge trust. The new con-
Germ is a consolidation Of companies
representing SO per cent. of the tonnage
Of highway and railroad bridges and
structural works. and will be known
as the American Bridge Company. The
capital will be $65,OOO,OOO.
Representatives of thirty companies
which will be in the huge combination
met again in the Waldorf-Astoria, New
York, yesterday and concluded the pre-
liminary arrangements. The negotia-
tions bringing about the consolidation
will be managed by 1. Giffert Ladd, who
is staying at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Some of the other bridge companies
that will form the new combination are
the A. p Roberts Company, Pencoyd,
Pa; Wrought Iron Bridge Company,
Canton, Ohio; Cornell Bridge Com
pany. New York; Carnegie Bridge
Company, Pittsburg; Youngstown
Bridge, Co., Youngstown, Ohio; Bos-
ton Bridge Company, Boston; Post &
McCord Iron Company. Brooklyn;
American Bridge Company, Chicago;
Elmira Bridge Company, Elmira, N. Y
and the New Berlin Bridge Company
Connecticut. The King Bridge Com
pany, Columbus Bridge Company, Mas
sillon Bridge Company and a few
other companies with a limited capa-
city have not gone into the consolida-
ton.
This project of effecting a consolida-
tion of bridge interests was begun
early in the year Hartman & Co
have had charge of the financial enc
of the deal. Since the conference be
tween the organizers and the represen
tatives of the various companies begaI
ca Thursdays some radical change
lave taken place Hartman & Co
have dropped out and the financing
will be done by J. & w. Seligman &
Co., bankers. The capital instead o
being $4,000, 900. as was previously de
cided upon. wil-be s65 ,OOO, 900, Of whicl
$22,OOO.OOO will be preferred and s43,
600, 900 common stock.
TO BE INCORPORATED AT ONCE.
The company will be incorporated a
once, and the subscription books viii
be opened within ten days. The elec
ton of officers will be held soon. Th
men have been selected for their re
spective positions.
1t is asserted by some of those promi
nent in the formation Of the compan,
that the new company will start unde
particularly auspicious circumstances
The preferred stock, it is said, vii
have back of it earnings of at least 1
per cent, and the. common stock vii
also make a strong showing. The com
pany will engage largely in the expor
trade. With one concern, having
branches in nearly every part of tn
United States, it is believed that grea
savings in transportation can be effect
ed, to say nothing of a general savin
of expenses.
