There are two contests, both of which are open to the members of the Camera Club, and we hope each member of the Camera Club will send pictures to both competitions. The very fine photographs which were submitted last year showed that the members are all striving to do good work. The improvement in the style of pictures and the subjects chosen was much better last year than in any previous year, and we expect still better work submitted in this contest. All contestants must be subscribers to HARPER'S ROUND TABLE themselves, or take the paper in their family. There is no restriction as to the number of prints one may send, but in sending prints mark _each print_ with name, address, and class for which the picture is designed. The best place to mark a picture is on the back of the card-mount. Any printing process may be used except the blue print. While many amateurs use the glossy papers, the preference is for the matt surface, and a bromide or platinum print is the paper generally chosen by first-class amateurs. If one does not know how to use these papers, or cannot procure them, try to make the best print possible on the paper which is chosen. The printing and mounting of a picture have a great deal to do with its attractiveness, and the mechanical work in a photograph is always considered when judging pictures. Several queries were received last year asking if a picture taken with a 4-by-5 camera, and trimmed down so that it was a little less than 4 by 5, would be admitted to the competition. The answer was that a picture might be trimmed a little, but not enough to bring it down to a size perhaps 3 by 4, that would make it too small to be "eligible." Each competitor in the Camera Club may send as many pictures as he pleases to both contests, and he may compete in each class in the two competitions. This gives the members of the club the advantage over non-members, who can only compete in the "Open to All" contest. We have received many additions to our club during the last year, and shall expect to see some fine work. Do not delay, but send in your pictures as early as possible. The names of the prize-winners will be announced in the January, probably the New-Year's, number of the ROUND TABLE.
