A decision to postpone the forth" coming photographie exhibition and contest was come to in deference to many requests from Hongkong photographie enthusiasts to allow more time for the sending in of work. It has accordingly been decided to open the -exbibition on January 22, and to accept work up to January' 18. This extension of the opening date should be appreciated by Hongkong photographers and it is hoped that the entry from Hongkong, will, in consequence, be a big one, The pictures received so far are of various aniers of merit; some fare excellent examples of photographic art, and others are very mediocre; but on the whole, the work can be considered extremely factory.
The Judges for the photographic section are Mr, C. H. Blason, Major Wright, and Mr. K. Sameda, all of considerable repute as photographers of the highest merit.
