AUCKLAND CAMERA CLUB.

At a well-attended annual meeting held last evening, the president, Mr. Nello Porter, expressed satisfaction with the Auckland Camera Club's position, both financially and as regarded its increased membership. Mr. A. Hipwell was thanked for his pictorial criticisms, which during the past year had been in a large measure responsible for the very high standard of work that was being consistently produced by the club members in competition. The monthly competition, open to all classes of work, resulted in Messrs. E. C. Lackland and A. Gillingham tying for first place. The Kohn plaque, for the best picture of the year, was won by Mr. R. E. Ash. His picture, a study of books, was considered by the judges to be faultless. Mr. A. Hipwell and Mr. H. Tornquist judged both competitions. The election of officers resulted as follows:—Patron, the Mayor; president, Mr. Nello Porter; vicepresidents. Dr. Gwynne, Messrs. Phii Hayward and H. Tornquist; committee, Messrs. W. J. Thompson. N. C. Whitcombe, J. D. Drought, R. E. Ash, A. Hipwell and Spitz; treasurer, Mr. Noel Airey; secretarv, Mr. T. Olsen; hon. auditor, Mr. T. W. Maben.
