AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS

Have Noteworthy Exhibit In the
Rooms OF the Young Mems Christian
AssOcIatIOn.--It wIu Remain open
Until saturday Night at 10 O'Clock.
The second annual PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibit
under the auspices of the Woman's auxil-
larry opened yesterday in the rooms of the
Young Mems Christian association. 1t
will remain open until 10 o'clock Satur-
day night.
This exhibit is without question far SUI
perior to that of last year. Over 600 pho.
tographs are on exhibition, and they are
attractively arranged, those entered for
competition being suspended by wires in
front of black background
The photographs are in three classes.
The first class includes portraits and ami
mails; the second exteriors, landscapes
and marine views; the third interiors.
Probably the best amateur work ever ex-
hibited in Brattleboro Is included in the
first class. There is some beautiful work
by Miss G. B. Skinner of Keene, N. H.,
who exhibits eight photographs. Six of
these are portraits, and in the posings of
the subjects Miss Skinner is real artist.
Her other two pictures are of animals.
One won first prize at an amateur exhi-
bition in New York. Miss SINNERS ex-
hibit has been awarded the first prize.
The second prize will go to A. NJ. Corser
of Putney. Mr.. Corsers work is of high
order both as regards the selection and
posing of his subjects and the finishing OF
the photographs. Miss Florence Pratt
and Dana Stafford exhibit some excellent
photographs in this class.
There are eight competitors in the sec.
ond class. The first prize has been
awarded to Dana Stafford of Brattleboro
who exhibits some remarkably good ex.
teriors and landscapes. The second prize
has been awarded to Earl Titus. A
special prize has been awarded to A. NJ
Corser of Putney. Other exhibitors are
II. F. Jordan, Leslie Stafford, Miss Flor.
ence Pratt and Benjamin Crown of Brat.
tleboro, and F. w. Chase of Townshend.
Earl Titus and Mrs. II. Fl. Thompson
exhibit some excellent interior views
Mr.. Titus has been awarded the premium
in this class. His work is artistic in
every respect, and it would be hard for an
amateur to take better interior views than
can be seen in his exhibition.
In the department for exhibition only
are displayed some handsome specimens Of
photography, among which are some
