Literary and Social Guild were entertained on Wednesday with an interesting lecture by Mr. A. E. C. Hindson. Its title was "The Fairy. lynd of Nippon," and a feature of the occasion was the bountiful sev of coloured illustrations, taken from photographs by Mr. Hindson during a holiday in Japan. The address was given chiefly from the point of the amateur photographer in search of the picturesque, and some particularly fine views of Mount Fujiyama were shown, itcluding one showing the crater ig winter, this having been taken by telephoto lens at a distance of 15 miles. The photographie studies covered a great variety of subjects, and formed a very charming pictorial record of the holiday which Mr. Hindson described in a most interesting wey.
