Camera Club.

Professor Norton last night addressed the members of the Camera Club and contributors to the exhibition. He spoke briefly of the qualities which a photograph should have to excel artistically, and besides artistic merit, of the poetic feeling which should enter into the composition of such a photograph. He commended the practice of photography as cultivating the artistic sense, although it be not so disciplinary to hand and eye as the art of drawing. After pointing out various individual defects and merits, he complimented the contributors upon the general nature of the work exhibited.

After stating the difficulty of the task of choosing the best from among so many, Professor Norton decided that two views taken at Claymont, Delaware, by C. P. M. Rumford, excelled in point of artistic merit.
