effective. Lafayette was engaged five
years in the work OF aiding the colonists.

fortune and military genius in aid Of

army at Dobbs Ferry. on the Hudson.

~ NE Of the most interesting Sc

exhibited a few nights ago at
the residence Of Secretary Cortelyou,
who had as his guests President Roose-
welt and some OF the attaches Of the
Executive Mansion who had accompanied
President Mckinley On different trips
about the country.
The lantern slides. 125 in number. all
Of high technical merit and attractively
colored. are the work Of Mr.. ]. II. Stroh-
meyer. the vice president of the Under
wood & Underwood Co, one of the iarg-
est firms engaged in the publication of
stereoscopic views in the country. and the
negatives from which the slides were
made were collected during various trips
made by President Mckinley 1bout the
country, on which occasion Mr.. Stroh-
meyer acted in the capacity OF official
photographer. The slides form an inter-
esting history Of the episodes of President
McKinley's trip 10 California, as well as
his trip to Atlanta. tre trip to MonJauk
Point. and his trip to the Northwest.
The pictures possessing the greatest de-
gree of interest arc those illustrating fhe

shown in a manner which demonstrates

records as well as source Of amusement

Quoted on proper lines. There are many
members who do good Photographic work

nique of photography who do not indorse
with any great degree of warmth the
usually popular exhibition picture, and
this will give this class OF members an
opportunity to present what to them
seems the most attractive phase of pho
Biography. Such an exhibition will also
give to those who have never exhibited
an opportunity to exhibit their work, and
an exhibition on these lines will probably
interest fully as large a portion of the
public as the exhibition at the Hemicycle.
which has just closed.
In the coming exhibition the members
will probably be the judges of their own
work and hang such pictures as they feel
represent their best efforts, and IL the
club will only formulate some general
rules prescribing the manner in which the
work is to be presented. there seems to
be no good reason why such an exhibition
should not prove popular success.
