AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION AT CARDIFF . The second annual exhibition and soiree of the Cardilf Y . M . C . A . Camera Club took place recently , Bro . Dr . De Vere Hunt presiding . The exhibition included specimens of work done by the members and others , photographic apparatus and materials , a muloscope , and a kromskop . The last mentioned , which was shown by Bro . Jesse Williams , of Queen-street , was exhibited for the

first time in the principality . Il is an apparatus by which photographs can be ; viewed in natural colours . The method of doing this is to take three stereoscopic photographs of the same object , from precisely the same point , and without in any way disturbing the object . The first photograph is taken through a red screen , the second through a blue-violet screen , and the third through a green one These photographs are so arranged on the kromskop that screens of the three

colours shall be placed beforelhe three photographs in the same order as mentioned above , and with a powerful light behind them , the three pictures are so projected that , by means of mirrors inside the apparatus , they are perfectly superimposed , with Ihe result that a person viewing the scene through a stereoscope sees what he imagines to be a vase of ( lowers , a basket of llowers , a llower garden , or other . - ¦ till object in Us natural colours . The apparatus cannot be used for taking

portraits of persons or photographs of anything in motion , for the reason that no object that has once been moved during the process of photography through the coloured screens c , \ n be replaced in ixaetly the same position . The invention is certainly one of the most ingenious that has been introduced of late years . There is no doubt but that in the luture it will be brought to such a state of perfection thai photographs of moving objects can also be taken .

In the course of the entertainment , Bro . Dr . De Vere Hunt referred to the present standing of the club . It had 30 member :., and their work was of a very creditable description . The Y . M . C . A . would shortly erect a new building , and in it would be fitted with dark rooms and all other conveniences .

The Auditors' report wis presented and adopted , which showed the lodge to be in a most flourishing condition . Bro . Wm . Lipscomb , P . M ., Sec , presented the lodge with th : op : ning and closing hymns for which he

received special thanks . It was resolved that a letter of sympithy bj seat to Bro . EHson , P . M ., in his severe illness . The W . M . then rose , and with very kind remarks , presented the Past Master ' s jewel to Bro . C . W . Stone , I . P . M ., for the able manner he had conducted the business of the lodge durine the past year , and which had been unanimously voted by the brethren . In reply , Bro . C . W . Stone . I . P . M ., expressed his deep gratitude for the handsome jewel presented him , and also the Past Mister's collar and jewel attached , given "by a few of his many friends in the lodge , " both of which he hoped ta wear for years to come in the lodge as one of its Past Misters , certainly an honour .

M ., Earl of Lathom , and also congratulating the Craft upon the election of so eminent a Mason and nobltman as Earl Amherst to succeed him in that very responsible position . Bro . C . W . Stone , I . P . M ., rose and said it was the only time that he was entitled to command order at the banquet , and although the first time he had the privilege of

presenting the toast of "The VV . M ., " it was a most pleasurable duty . All had witncssed his excellent working that evening , but to his mind ( the I . P . M . 's ) the great interest he was taking in the cause of benevolence , that brightest gem , would endeir him to every member of the lodge . That one idea had been the aim of the lodge during the past year , and so long as that spirit was carried out the brethren would be proud . He asked the brethren to give the toist a most cordial respons ; .

In reply , B-o . Brangwin , W . M ., stated what he said came straight from his heart , He WJS grat' . ful for the very kind words that had been sp'jken of him , and certainly his heart was full of brotherly love for the . brethren of the United Pilgrims Lodge , and for the great iidluer . ee which could be exercised by the brethren in the cause of true benevolence . It was only four years since he was initiated , and it had been his aim to

forward such a cause ever since . He knew in doing so it would gladden the heart of the Secretary of the United Pilgrims Lodge , and if , while travelling the pilgrimage ol life they met other pilgrims not so well off , they extended to them the helping hand , the giver would be the better and happier man . For their kind and cordial greeting he most heartily thanked them .

1 he W . M . next presented the toist of the evening— " The Initiate "—who he said was a good Mason and true . Tic said by joining Freemasonry it would make him the better man ; it recognised no sect or creed , and was a united bond of Brotherhood ; and he felt in the initiate that he would prove himself woithy of the honourable Order .

Bio . Ttbbutt most ably responded , and , in the course of his remarks , said that he certainly had made one great mistake in not joining such an institution before , which had OIK : gieal object , and embraced the greatest of all—that of Charity . He was gratified to know such was its chief tenet , for to assist those in need was most worthy , and it gladdrned him to be present , and he gratefully thinked them all .

I he toast of "The Visitors" was most ably and cordially presented by the W Master .

Bros . Hurrell , Eyre , Ainsworth , Hart , and Thomas responded , and complimented the lodge upon having so able a Master , the excellent work of the Installing Master , and also upon the work of every officer in the lodge , together with their unbounded luspitality . The W . M ., in givirg the toast of "The Installing Master , Bro . C . W . Stone , " said the ceremony had been pel formed in an admirable manner , and he hoped that in due titne he might have the same privilege , and install his successor in the same efficient

manner . , Bro . C . VV . Stone , Installing Master , said the moment had been a very anxious one In him , but he had persevered , and on the previous Saturday week had attended the Kvtning Star Lodge of Instruction , held at Catford , under the able Preceptor , Bro . Geo . Ikste , P . M . of the United Pilgrims Lodge , and had rehearsed that ceremony for the first time , which , howevtr , did not give the Installing Master great satisfaction . However , he had improved upon that , and he was glad it had their appreciation . Whatever he could do for the lodge would be his aim , and during the coming year he should be most happy to assist the VV . M . in every way .

Ihe toast of " The Past Masters , Treasurer , and Secretary" received at the hands of the W . M . those appreciative remarks that they fully deserved , and great thanks were due to Bros . Beste and Lipscomb for their energy and zeal displayed in bringing about a healthier state of things in the lodge . B o . G . Besle , P . M ., Treas ., in reply , said he thanked the brethren for their

confidence in electing him to the responsible position of Treasurer . He should do his very best to advance the cause of Freemasonry . It was a proud moment to him to see the VV . M . and four other biethren all in successive offices in the lodge , his live initiates of whom he had said he was confident they would prove ellicient ollicers , which had been exemplified to the fullest that evening .

Bro . Win . Lipscomb , P . M ., Sec , also most ably responded , especially duelling on the great advantages which would accrue to the Benevolent Fund of the Lodge by the amended bye-laws which had been presented to every brother in the lodge . A bright futuie was foreshadowed in the lodge , and would be the means of providing a power in votis for the various Institutions . His work was a labour of ljve , which would be readily and cheerfully given to the lodge .

Ihe W . M . next gave the toast of " The Ollicers" with that meed of praise which it so justly merited , as no lodge could possess a more ellLient body . The W . M . exprvssed the sympathy of the brethren with Bro . Sidwell Jones , whose father was very ill ; also with Bro . Fisher , S . D ., who had had a bereavement in his family .
