The exhibits from other countries were admittedly fine specimens of, work providing much educational value to local amatours, but the effect is not the same when it ccanes to open competition. If it is at all found necessary to invite exhibits from thrond, such pictures should only he placed on exhibition and not in competition.
To be fair to every exhibitor who is allowed to send in pictures, there should be a limit to the number of pictures, which he or she is per mitted to submit. In the present exhibition some competitors: sub- mitted ton many entries in the same section as almost to outnumber half a dozen others put together In the absence of any grouping the catalogue of the exact numberi in the open, advanced, and begin era classes in any particular sec- tion, it is not possible to draw i comparison.
I consider that three entries in one particular section should be the limit allowed to any one competi for, giving twelve entries in the four sections. Any there above this number should be in the ex- hibition gallery. An extra charge might also be made for competiticu pictures from one person exceeding a certain number, the proceeds from which could be usefully employed to swoll the prize fund.
