NELSON CAMERA CLUB.

Yesterday afternoon a number of citizens visited the Camera Club's room to view the fifty-four pictures which have just been received from the Royal Photographic Society of England. Several of the pictures are exceedingly good, and show the wonderful advance of photography. In the evening there was a larger attendance, when a number of lantern sides, which had been received from the same Society, were exhibited by Mr Hobbs, who skilfully manipulated the lantern. The pictures were very interesting, and far surpassed any previously shown in Nelson, being marvels of the photographic art. They embraced a. number of subjects, including scenes in Norway, Wales. England, Scotland, Nice and Seville. "At the Village Smithy," "Good Morning," the "Old Shropshire Cottage," and the "Evening Tide of Life, " were noticeable pictures among the miscellaneous ones. Mr C. Y. Fell presided at the exhibition. The audience marked their I appreciation of the excellence of the pictures by repeated outbursts of applause. Thhe exhibition will again be open this afternoon from three till five, and this evening there will be another display by lime light of a number of new slides. Allinterested in photography, and admirers of art, should attend and see the pictures for themselves. The charge _for admission is the small one of sixpence each.
