The increased prestige and influence gained would be of great benefit to all concerned, and would ultimately lead to a general union of these societies throughout the colony. It is only thus that they will be able to grow to full maturity and bear fruit, and thus only, that the full advantages of mutual thought and work will be apparent. It is a subject well worth the consideration of our members, and as such it is placed before you in the hope that some practical result will be the outcome of the suggestion.

BENDIGO.

The local Photographic Association formed late last year has now obtained a firm footing amongst the amateurs. The fortnightly meetings being devoted to mutual instruction, every alternate Wednesday is spent by members in driving (by drag) to various resorts around the district, and a cordial welcome is extended to members of any other Amateur Club who may at any time visit the Golden City. Recently an impetus has been given to the Association by the election of W. J. Faul, Esq. (a scientific and enthusiastic amateur), as President, and under his regime practical results must follow. The hon. secretary (Mr. F. Prescott), who takes great interest in promoting artistic tastes, has given a handsome centrepiece for the best photogram of any floral arrangement in connection with the Bendigo Horticultural Improvement Society's Chrysanthemum Show, to be held on May 7th and 8th, particulars of which can be obtained from Mr. F. Prescott, Bendigo, or Mr. Hammerton, hon. secretary of the Geelong Amateur Photographic Association.
